Chaffing on the Neck
In the past 3 races I've done using an Xterra Wetsuit, I've had nasty chaffing around my neck. Recovery from chaffing takes me 2 weeks, and its a big pain in the butt that I can't fully move my neck around without cringing every time.
I've tried body glide, Duck tape, pam, each time respectively, all ending as failures. I'm starting to think it's the wetsuit, as my Xterra has a extremely high neck cut off.
Is there anything else I can do so I don't look like a complete newbie?

Vaseline contains petrolium, that will eat your wetsuit. If bodyglide didn't help, you may need to get a wetsuit with a lower neckline.
