Vasoline..help or worthless in 48-50F water

applying a thin coat of vasoline to the core + arms is messy i'm sure, but does it help when wearing a wetsuit??

    Vaseline is to prevent chaffing and friction burns, it doesn't have any value for warmth. You definitely don't want to touch your goggles after applying it! Best to get someone else to do it, or put it on using some kind of long-handled swab.
