Hey there,

I am training for some OWS's but don't want to wear a rashie as they're a bit tight around my neck. I'm trying to avoid getting stung by stingers-when they're around-but wonder if there are any other good prevention methods?

Would Zinc keep the goobers away? I know vaseline & sunscreen aren't a good mix...

What options are out there???

There's some stuff called Safe Sea (http://www.buysafesea.com/) but they don't seem to ship outside of North America. There must be something similar where you are.
