After pedaling my Hobie around for several hours yesterday, I ended up with a bad rash on the front of my legs---worst just above my knees, but there's some below the knees too. I was wearing my usual FJ wetsuit and have never had any problem before. Any ideas on how to prevent this? Thanks.

This is exactly why I ditched my wetsuit and bought a drysuit. I got tired of the nasty rashes around my knees.

Body Glide will help, though.

Yeah that worked for me,fm1 suggested a while back
My biggest worry is that my wife(when I'm dead)will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

Pantyhose.

I always wear pantyhose...

But, seriously, I got some jammer swim trunks and have been wearing those underneath (previously, I was freeballing). That seems to have solved the problem.

Pantyhose make the suit easier to remove too. Get the control top, they are slimming. Lol :smt044
