    Hey, Ayin!

    I'm a fellow desert rat & native Phoenician. I've been wearing kilts full-time for about 4 years now & I tried powder at first, too, until I learned about Body Glide, which I've been using for the last few summers & all I can say is DEFINITELY get yourself some Body Glide! Not only is it a LOT less messy than powder, it works better & is effective a lot longer!

    I get mine at the R.E.I. store near PV mall, but it's available at plenty of athletic shops catering to runner, hikers & cyclists.

    Highly recommended for your "inner" well-being during our blast furnace summer.

    And hey, what do you think of a Valley of the Sunburn kilt night on the Memorial Day weekend?

    I will definitely try some of this body glide that everyone's been talking about. I had never even heard of it before.

    As for Memorial day weekend, i currently have my son that weekend, BUT I will talk to my mom tonight to see if she would want to watch him that Saturday night. Where would you like to get together because i'd love to gets some pints and celebrate kilted style.

    yes...body glide is the way to go. used it in germany while chasing the US games. 20hrs in a kilt during a german heat wave and everything worked out great. no chaffing or turning into hamburger...

    Another Zonie for Body Glide! Love the stuff.

    Only down side in the heat - like if you take the small size with you in your sporran for touch ups (explain to the other guys in the men's room what you're doing reaching up under your own kilt...) is that it softens in the heat and sometimes comes apart.

    So..I keep mine indoors and cool and lube up as well as possible and try to keep an extra as cool as possible somewhere, somehow.

    I hope I can find some Body Glide near me. The last time I had, ah, issues was last summer when my Lady and I hiked Tahquammenon Falls. We're hiking the falls again for our 1 yr., and I don't want a repeat of that particular, ah, issue.
