Corish Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 When I ride I get very hot and sweat, and I smell of body oder, does anybody know whats the best stuff to use to stop this? Also while I'm here, because I wear a hat and get hot my head sweats causin my hair to go greasy, whats the best shampoo to prevent this from happening as much? Please dont say take your hat off while riding, I prefer my hat on I dont like my hair and with the hat being on it makes it a big mess, lol. So if anyone knows any good stuff let me know >_< thanks corish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biketrialler Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 You do realise that its natural for hair to feel greasy after its got sweaty yeah? And that using any kind of lotion wont change that? As for under arm stuff, use anti persperant rather than deodorant - deodorant covers the bad smell with a fresh smell whereas, you guessed it, anti persperant stops you sweating in the areas you spray it on.

Joe Papasnap Maher Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 (edited) Well, from previos experices with deordorant and under arm roll on stuff, the roll on is much better.. As ben said, deodorant just puts a new smell ontop, where as the roll on stops it from smelling. I personally use roll on stuff also , because 1) i sweat like a b*****d, and the roll on keeps me smell free, and 2) dedorant brings me up in a lovely rash (N) >_< Edit-If i put it on in morning when i wake up, it will still be fine bed time (N) :ermm: Edited March 23, 2005 by Joe@Carbonique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbr-chris Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I have the same thing with hair, long shitty hair+ beanie+riding ergh its horrible. I use that tres-emme or summat like that but then it goes all fluffy, stops it getting so horrible under a hat though. I've been using that physio sport anti persparent and that seems pretty good Summers coming too so theres going to be lots of smelly riders around :ermm: >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Adidas Active Deoderant Anti Perspirant (for men) - its a roll-on Fooking awesome stuff. Smells nice and keeps you dry no matter what. Its pretty expensive for such a small container but i swear by it. :ermm: come in different 'flavours' too (smells). >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picki Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 just smell! be natural and freeeeeee! :P" go and have botox injections! they paralyse the sweat producing glands and hey presto....so stink other than that....right guard stuff! (Y) not i aint sure....i i aint tried it myself! but shaving your sits apparantly stop it smelling as 'pit hair' absorbs sweat, and bacteria grow on that...i may be wrong though! do a test shave one and not the other and get people to smell you and see which is the worst! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for anti-persprants, keep your hair cut short, and use loriel(sp?) for your hair. Anyway....you should be wearing your lid...not a hat :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day we will all be going "we did warn you" Accidents happen, it doesnt matter how big or small the moves you are doing. My worst bails have been when doing moves I have done loads of times before... If you are going to take a helmet out with you and only wear it for the big moves is there any point?

Brisa Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 If you knew when you needed a helmet you would not do that move/line in the first place. Believe me, its when you least expect it. I know this is awful but I hope it happens. Its the only way to waken you up! Oh and wash more often (N) people who pile on the smellys and dont wash smell like shite. :sleeping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
