Okay, I’ve had about enough of this. I have a wetsuit that I love and fits me well (x-terra) except for the damn neck chaffing. I put on lots of bodyglide and have tried everything to position things right so it won’t chafe but damn if I’m not looking like my wife beat me with a curling iron. My neck has a huge scab on it from Sunday’s race–almost like a third degree burn.
Anyone else have this problem and know of some other way to solve it?

The cure I have it to pull up the suit as much as possible. I start below the knees, then pull up to the waist, then pull it up from there. This gives me enough slack to provide freedom of movement around the neck and shoulders. If your suit is too short, this won’t work for you.
Oh, it’s “chafing”, unless you really meant “to tease good-naturedly” (Merriam-Webster).
