HRM & sweat (kinda gross, I know) :)

Hey guys!

I know this is gross, but does anyone else have issues with their HRM when they are sweaty? My chest strap gets so darn sweaty that it won't read calories correctly. I have to keep getting the sweat off during my workout, otherwise it won't read correctly.

    OMG! I literally just complained to my fiancee about that when I was done working out this morning. I don't really have an answer to help you but I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. For some reason I sweat way more now that I ever have, even when I was really, really fit before. Not a fan of that....

    I haven't bought one yet specifically because I was concerned about that! I'll be watching this thread hoping for an answer!

    I thought the HRM read better when it was "moisturized"? Try tightening it.

    Have you tried washing the strap at all?

    I know that when I sweat, I never ever have a problem with it reading my heart rate... and I sweat like a horse, esp when I'm working with my trainer.
