Has anyone tried the new Gold Bond Friction Defense? It's more reminiscent of a deodorant stick than Body Glide, it's obvious competitor. Since other GB products seem so good I'll give it a try.
Interesting. May be worth a try especially if it's cheaper than Body Glide. A quick check reveals online total prices anywhere between $7-18. Wonder if Wally-World carries it locally?
BTW, Winton Porter taught me a little trick with Body Glide. Extend and remove the entire block from the container and carry it in a ziplock bag instead. You don't need to carry the container since its wasted weight. Worked for me on my thru hike and I remained blister free by rubbing only a thin layer on my feet each morning.

My local Wal World had it for just over $5. I picked one up today.
