Tip of the Week - May 6 - CLOTHING

May 6 Trek Tip of the Week #4 CLOTHING: Skin chafing is caused by friction, heat, moisture, and improper-fitting clothing. It is one of the most frequently encountered trek occurences. People who are overweight and whose thighs rub together when walking are at highest risk. It commonly occurs in the armpits and inner thighs and can be very painful. You can prevent chafing though your clothing choice: moisture-wicking, proper fit (fitted, but not too tight or too loose,) no big seams or rough fabric, biker shorts and "tight whities" recommended. Also helpful: no boxers, stay hydrated (dilute sweat & prevent your skin from drying out,) Use vaseline, powder or other anti-friction products, if prone to chafing or have risk factors.
