Field Tests & Testimonials

What stood out was the product worked. I wasn’t a huge fan of the grainy feel on my skin to start & it took a while to rub in. In saying that though, it worked & I had no chafing 🙌

Perfect balm , went on a long run in a new pair of shoes and was abit worried about blisters forming. No problems after 5 hours on the trails How easy it is to apply and use and the packaging size

I was really happy with the product - while I've answered honestly and noted the grittier texture on initial application this didn't bother me at all - it was a natural response to the colder weather. I had no chafe in the areas of application. Also one other brilliant thing is because it's all natural I have used it in areas of eczema on myself and my son and it's responded really well too!

Brilliant, definitely the best anti chafe I've tried to date and it's all natural too. It's a win win. Really happy with the product. Consistency is really good as is longevity, at least whilst tested in the cool and humid environments so far. Good feel and reduces friction. Would happily recommend to all my mates. The texture was pleasant, once it contacts with the skin it's easily applied.

My previous anti-friction cream was effective during use but after a number of months of hard/long cumulative training my skin became tender and agitated. The use of Easy Sports Balm for three weeks slowly helped my skin repair while providing the equivalent anti-friction required for long hours in the saddle.

It lasts the full Ironman distance. The fact that it was still there after the event. I have been testing the ESB products throughout my Ironman Cairns build, but race day was the true test. The Tri Easy balm is harder than other balms to apply. You need to rub it together with your hands to 'activate it'. However, once applied, it is very difficult to get it off, which makes it perfect for the Ironman distance. 3.8km Swim, 180km Bike, and a 42.2km Run. 10 hours in windy, rainy, humid conditions. After all of this, I still needed soap to wash the balm off in the shower. Zero chaffing. This is the first balm that has lasted the distance.

It activated quickly, went on easily, smelt good and no residue on clothing. Didn't need to reapply during my runs. I have a pair of tights that always rub in the same spot after 5km and this stopped the rubbing! Very happy. Will use it again. It felt a bit grainy at first and I was concerned that it would stay like this and actually increase friction, but it warmed up quickly and this wasn't a problem at all. Smells nice in a neutral way.

Has a slight grit to it but completely prevented chafing.

Really good on the chafing front. Just a bit tricky to get out of the tin on colder mornings when the product is quite firm.

Firm to get out of the tin but easy to apply. Didn't think about it once during the run — no chafing, which definitely would have happened without it. Not greasy, smells good.

The most convenient, well-suited product for changing trail conditions. The longevity of it is what stood out.

prevented chafing in a cold-water session. Texture was a little gritty on application but soon smoothed with body heat, I think due to the cold. I'm heading to warmer waster and will test it there and a short wetsuit, which I think will be a good match.

Used this during the UTA 100km - Easy to apply before, didn't need to reapply the whole race — no chafing or irritation on my body or feet across 6+ hours. The texture stood out and my skin felt great post-run. Completely prevented chafing. 10 out of 10.

Did its job well over 50km and 6 hours 40 minutes. The coverage from such a small amount applied was what stood out most. Completely prevented chafing. Handy, well-formulated, effective.

Completed a 40km ride with no rubbing and no staining. Lasted longer than I expected.

I used it on a spot where my chest strap had been rubbing during my 2–3 hour morning runs. Before this I had to tape the area up. The balm completely stopped the rubbing.

This product has been awesome. Occasionally it feels a little gritty on first application but it rubs on quickly. Absolutely zero chafing — and you don't need much of it to get the job done.

Held up well over a long ride. Slightly thicker than other products I've used, which I liked. Completely prevented chafing.

Works really well — and grip wasn't affected where it was applied. Completely prevented chafing.

Great. Takes a minute to warm to body temperature and you don't need much of it — once I knew that, it worked a treat. Neutral smell, easy to apply, small tin is ideal for your gear bag.

Nice feel on skin, not greasy. Compact and doesn't take up much space. Mostly prevented chafing.

Firm to get out of the tin but easy to apply and worked a treat — I genuinely forgot about it during the run, which is exactly what you want. No chafing, skin felt fine afterwards, and the scent was good. Not greasy.

Ran a 50km ultra in 30-degree heat and high humidity. The areas of my thighs and legs that normally get irritated showed significant improvement during and after the race. Far exceeds other products on the market.

Used it a few times now. Initial thought was that the texture might not work, but once it breaks down and applies it's great. The small tin is handy for travel.

Initially seems waxy, then glides on easily once it meets body heat. Prevented chafing over 2+ hours on the bike. You don't need much of it.

Haven't needed to reapply yet. Longest run has been 5 hours, including 3–4 hours in hot, humid conditions. Zero friction since I started using it.

Held up really well over a long ride. Slightly thicker than competing products, which I actually appreciated — it felt more substantial on application. Completely prevented chafing. Previously used Gooch Goo; this was noticeably better.
