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

I think cantwait4bike is talking about when wearing a wet suit.
We never used wet suits when I raced. I used a little vaseline to stop rubbing in certain spots that is all to stop friction burns, the colder the water the friction burns become worse.
48 to 50 degrees for a short period say 2 hrs should not be a problem.
It is the 48 to 50 for say 10 hours would be a problem. I wore one cap and I did get too hot and had to let the cold water into the hat to cool down.
