Used Garmins for years, old style strap. Just got the new soft strap and really like the feel, but on my long runs it is rubbing me raw. I use body glide, but that hasn't helped. It is rubbing me where the plastic makes contact with the skin.
Anyone else? Solutions or suggestions?
I just posted on this topic a few days ago!
http://forum.slowtwitch.com/...post=4157893#4157893 I used to never get chafing from the soft strap but two months ago it started chafing at the bottom where of the soft strap. I couldn't figure out what it was and I ordered a new strap because I thought the old one was dirty. Well, the new one causes the same issue as well.
I think I figured it out though. I used to wear the straps on my upper abs but lately I've been wearing it much higher on my lower chest. If you where it on your upper abs, I think it will fix the chafing issue. I haven't had a chance to try this theory yet.
