wetsuit chaffing
Submitted by Blake.T. on Sun, 2009-08-02 14:01
hey guys,
might be a stupid question, but i need some help.
Ive recently got a wetsuit to take down south (tomorow) for a shcool canoeing trip. ive been wearing the wetsuit around the house to get used to it, but ive noticed that its chaffing my underarm and twisting the hair up, and this is gonna be a problem if im paddling a canoe all day.
anyone got a suggestion on anything that can help? its a bit late to get a new one thats more comfortable.
any help is appreciated because i dont really want dreadlocked underarm hair hahaha
cheers blake

Not the best place
around the house. Wet suits are supposed to be wet if you wear it dry then you reap what you saw!

Just wear a rashie
Just wear a rashie underneath. Though, as mentioned, it is a wetsuit. I went whitewater rafting in NZ and they use wetsuit longjohns (like overall style) and a 10mm polar fibre jacket. Probably a lot more suited to canoeing than a wetsuit. Also, most wetsuits arent very supple (unless you pay big bucks). Did the school suggest wetsuits?
