Poster: A snowHead
|
I could absolutely swear that I'd seen a couple of recommendations on here for a very long-lasting deodorant favoured by ski tourers, in combination with the use of merino wool, for keeping the stink down on week long trips. But I can find no trace of it now. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, could they jog my memory, please?

I know its not what you are looking for, but i've always found that applying aftershave to the pits and garmets helps keep it at bay on long days. Can pick up some small travel bottles 5ml for next to nothing and should last a week or so.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Don't you just get a problem with cooing ladies trying to sniff your pits all the time then? That can be a real nuisance on a trip.

@J2R, That is always a major problem, can get rather tiring at times. If in any doubt ski away.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Perspirex is excellent. I apply it once a week and dont sweat a bit. Tiny bottle too! Takes a few applications to get to full strength but its cracking stuff. You can get two strengths depending how much of a sweaty betty you are. Be careful though as if you over apply your skin will dry out and burn

@J2R, i was converted to anti smell crystals abfew months ago. Amazing. Pit rok is a brand in the uk. Can get very small versions. 24 hours no smell although not anti perspirant.

Potassium alum is the stuff. It's also seriously non-allergenic. And seems to last forever. You can tell I'm a convert.

Thanks jbob, that's the one I'd seen mentioned. No idea where, though, if it was not on here. It seems there are other options, though.

@J2R, I might have posted on here before, it really does work, I've used it for touring, hut to hut walks, and festivals for a long time. I think Boots do it, but I usually buy half a dozen online every couple of years!
