So, beyond ultra-running, triathlon, multisport & kayaking what else do our customers use GurneyGoo for?  

If you have a use we've not listed here just send it to us and we'll add it with a link back if you'd like one.

  • Surfing:
    • Stops salt water rash
    • Wetsuit rub ( extended use with neoprene may weaken the neoprene, but this is a common use for those for whom comfort is more important then gear wear and tear, or for those who use their wetsuits often enough to wear them out by UV damage and wear and tear before the petrolatum causes issues. This use is at your own risk. )
