Hey everyone.  My wetsuit is causing a pretty bad rash on the back of my neck above my tri suit.  Any suggestions on how to stop this?

Yes. Lube generously both on your neck and on the wetsuit neck with a NON-PETROLEUM product like BodyGlide or SportShield roll-on.

^^^^^^^^^^ what she said. Another one is trislide. I use that stuff and it works great.

Buy a De Soto T1 2-piece wetsuit?

another vote for tri-slide, that stuff is super slippery!

Side note...  I never get it with my wetsuit, but got it BAD from my neoprene hoody I wore for alcatraz.  I never wore it for that long before.

Now I have a nice 6" scab/rough area on the back of my neck.  I WISH I had used body glide....

Oh, and make sure it is on right.

I was sloppy on my race this weekend.

all the body glide in the world does not help when the Velcro tab is not lined up correctly and rubbing your for a 1/2 mile OWS.

I am also tired of explaining road rash 4" x 2" behind the ear and nowhere else.

Body Glide did the trick.  Thank you!

Same problem here, so I put on bodyglide, and then more bodyglide, really coating the area.

This weekend, I met some guys who put duct tape on that part of their neck. They said the tape hurts coming off, but the quick pain is better than the neck rash.
