Just about any fabric, when sweated into, becomes quite abrasive. The T-shirt I did the race in wasn't skintight, so it rubbed up and down, up and down, with every step.

Result, after about the first hour: bleeding nipples.

A touch on the chilly side, yes - the race is held in October, and the start gun is at 6:30am.

I don't think that chafing requires erect nipples, though. It's more to do with the delicacy of the skin in question. I've had nipple chafe situations on hot days where there was definitely nothing but sweaty, decidedly un-erect man-paps involved.

Bib shorts avoid the nipple problem when cycling, I've found, but they're not very comfortable to run in. You'll note that most triathletes these days do the bike and run in a skinsuit - chafing issues have a lot to do with gear selection.

I had a horse try and bite my nipple off one time. Hurt like hell too!

I really hated those nipple gripples you got from your "mates"

The dreaded double nipple gripple with a charley horse at the same time was a killer

Until I learnt to wallop my mates in the 'nads and that stopped the practice toot sweet!

Ok.

I sell Camelbaks and all the accessories and extras. go to www.camelbak.com and see if theres anything that interest ya's.

All of which disco said is correct, except the the bladders range from 1L to 3L.

Im sure i can do deals for people, wont be as good as my discount (cost less 30%

) but ill still do them cheaper than you can get anywhere.

Oh and they do make good back protectors hehe, I slid down the road on my back whilst wearing mine, and it just got a scuff mark... hehe
