I literally use this all the time, my job requires a lot of hiking. DannerTrax

AMAZING stuff. A must have for long hikes, treks, or Tough Mudder type races.

I had heard stories for years. Started using it this year and now I realize that I should have started using it years ago.

Good stuff! (Note GHB inventory below, 2nd group from bottom)

Gold Bond is find when static, but messy when on the move; it also doesn't last long. The Bodyglide lasts much longer. It's requires a little more effort to apply, but I've been pretty happy with it when backpacking. I've only used it a few times and glad I didn't have the puffs of white every step avoiding monkey-butt.

Its a must! Gold bond makes a friction reducing solid that's good too!

I put in some serious miles on the road/trail. I will go nowhere without this. Bodyglide is essential to move long distances without chafing. Deodorant can be used in a pinch if you don't have any body glide

This. Love the GB. I use it copiously. Biking, hiking, running. Good on back of heels, too, if you're prone to blisters.

I started using slide glide when I was getting into running to lose weight. It was money well spent.

Very good stuff. I've used it for hiking and mountain biking in a hot and humid climate, worked great.

Agreed with those above. Use it for long runs or hikes and it's never let me down!

Body Glide has changed my life! I no longer have to walk bow legged after a 10 hour shift in the summer time. I can not recommend this stuff highly enough.

I use it every day when biking, great stuff.

Someone tell me . What's this stuff do ?

Basically this stuff is anti chaff deodorant (comes in a deodorant type stick) that runs on and keeps you from sticking to you, also helps with clothing sticking and rubbing(like socks on heel). I got turned onto it when I was marathon running. after getting blisters inbetween your toes and finding out you can prevent them, as well as your ass cheeks rubbing for 3 hours it is worth it so buy it.

I thought this was a KY competitor. Lube thread.

Does this stuff prevent blisters on the heels, like you would get from new boots and such?

It's not going to save you from a sharp seam digging into your skin from new boots etc. until it flattens out and the shoes are broken in, but it does work great for anywhere that's getting sore from rubbing or chafing.

The rub-on stick is slippery, but it's a "dry slippery".

We have a winner here! why spend $7+ for something you can buy for less then a dollar and get two or three times more of? Been using pit juice on my crouch for 20+ years military 20 mile hikes to everything else and it has never failed me!

Don't spend your money on that Body glide trash!
