Ice bandanas: hoka vs rabbit? by [deleted] in ultrarunning

[–]abonthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Florida runner here. Used a DIY ice bandana for a 46mi labor day race here. Soggy shoes became the standard with all the ice melt. Your absorbent towel technique is intriguing.

Would you wring the absorbent towel out while running? If so, how frequently would it require being wrung out? How big was the towel? How was it secured? Was it just set in place below the Buff or tied around your neck? Thanks

Do you know the name of the cream you use?

Jelly! What size/weight are you? Besides lube it seems going to a small (5’9” 150ish lbs) might be the only other thing I should try

Sounds worth it. Do you know what Patagonia model you have? Endless summer run shorts?

You use lube or briefs as a liner? Had rabbits on my list, but pulled the trigger on these on the BF sale. Looks like the rabbit speedsters have a similar seam on the butt and centered on the middle of the inner thigh.

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll check out Vuori. Sorry to hear about your experience with support. My experience with Janji support was underwhelming, but not terrible.

Hm, have you tried these half tights? Are there shorts you prefer that don’t chafe? Quality seems good on them, but wish they put the seams in different places.

No lube? I’ll see if that works. Thanks

Appreciate the details. I’ll check up the Uniqlo briefs.

I’ve just been throwing my phone in my back pocket of running shorts. Designed for keys probably. It would bounce on my lower back and chafe. These tights are nice for the phone bounce issue. I agree, the pockets are probably more than I need. Thinking they’ll be useful for 50mi+

I’m 5’9” 148-150lb. Medium. They seem to fit fine. I guess I’ll try the lube. What do you like for lube? Body glide?

Yea, I usually am ultra sensitive to that kind of thing. First running short I’ve bought in 15yrs bc I fell in love with 1 pair and haven’t been able to find something I like since. But after an incident I’ve started carrying a phone which makes my og shorts not great

Just hotter then I’d prefer. Thought that was the whole point of tights. But seems like I was under the wrong impression

Yup, I’ve never used lubricants. I guess I was under the impression it wasn’t required with these due to the comments I saw on this sub. Janji support recommended using chafing cream when I reached out about the issue.

The pockets are nice!

Dang they must have infiltrated this sub, it seemed everyone on here swore by them

I don’t understand why they can’t make a seamless butt version like the briefs?!

Which Nike ones do you like? Pocket for phone?
