    I honestly never liked HR chest straps, and was delighted when Suunto came out with OHR way back with the Spartan. I know the optical data is cr*py but nevertheless kept on using it till present day, but then came the magnificent Zonsense app which I’m delighted with and want to use!
    The trouble is every time I strap myself I get chaffed and cannot wear the strap for days… which brought back memories why I waited so anxiously for OHR…

    I’m sure I’m not the only individual who gets chaffed😇
    And if this is the case how have you solved this seemingly unimportant issue, I promise to take every suggestion you give me with the gravest seriousness‼️

    I really want to use ZoneSense to its fullest.

    Would love a Vertical with amoled display.

      The Suunto Smart Heart Rate Belt is exceptionally comfortable.

          I have used the Suunto, Wahoo, Polar and now Morpheus chest strap with no chafing issues from any of them… what area are you getting the chafing?

            @peegee The solution could be a “running bra” for men that you can put the heart rate strap inside like there is a training bra for women by Polar

              I’m familiar with the bra…🤦‍♀️
              We need Suunto to come up with a solution for men🙋‍♂️

                @larrybbaker chaffed mostly o the front both sides equally.
                Could you give a link for the strap you mentioned?

                    Move it lower maybe?

                      @Danny-poleg suggested this hr vest which looks very promising.

                      https://www.cardiosport.co.uk/product-page/biovest-smart-heart-rate-vest

                      Trouble is they don’t have a variety of sizes at all
                      And unfortunately don’t ship to my country…
                      Does anyone know of a similar solution?

                        @peegee I use the Suunto HRM but run the whole thing under a tap before putting it on (sensor & strap) so the whole thing is soaking wet then wear it only just tight enough so it doesn’t slip down.

                        I used to wear it much tighter as the strap slipped down when dry until my sweat held it in place & I did get some chaffing, wearing it wet & looser stopped the chafe immediately👍

                        It’s a bit of a shock putting it on this way on a cold autumn morning but works for me so give it a try mate.

                          I used to get chaffed when using a neo for swimming until I read that others aply vaseline maybe give that a try just at the problematik spots.
