Sweat behind the knees
Hello,
On long distance cycling, and warm days I notice that I tend to sweat behind the knees. It starts to get irritated after a while. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can use. I was thinking baby powder.
Thank you!

I broke my leg last summer complete with two torn ligaments in my knee. I used antiperspirant on my leg and behind my knee to keep from sweating all over my brace. Worked fine. Baby powder is okay, but the antiperspirant works much better.

Geez, I sweat all over.
Never paid any attention to the backs of my knees.
Now I've got something else to worry about...

just checked... even though it was 50 out today, I was covered with sweat, so I stopped, lathered my body up with antiperspirant. Now I am good to go, thanks BF!

Hey, MagsPaw.
I realized at some point how flip my answer sounded and I apologize.
I think you must live in a sunny, dry, area and I live here in the fat mans underpants. It's hot and damp. The smell is less than one could wish on occasion, too.
It must be the salt crystals and sun exposure, nes pas?
I'm thinking a good squirt of water and some extra sunscreen could work, too.
Anti-perspiratant and my system is a train wreck. I need my sweat to function.
