Hi! I've got an upcoming saltwater 10k. Is the standard polyester practice suit ok for this, or will there be chaffing? Thanks!

  • Yes, Vaseline or BodyGlide work well also. Make it thick. Be sure to get under your straps on your shoulders, shoulderblades as well as under your arms, on your nips and in the seams around your crotch. SolRX (online at Amazon) is worth every penny for sun protection. I used it for 6 hours in Key West and didn't burn a bit. It's a heck of a lot less messy than zinc.
