Hydropel is a dimethicone-based skin lubricant used to prevent blisters, chafing, and chapping of skin in extreme environments.
Hydropel vs. Sportslick
Hydropel tends to be more resilient (less reapplication needed) than Sportslick, and thus, is more lubricating in wet conditions. Sportslick, however, contains antifungal and antibacterial agents, making it better for thigh chafing. Sportslick also comes in a stick form and offers a bit o' SPF, so it's a good gig for the back of your hands, face, and lips.
"Roman Dial and I both used Hydropel every morning before trekking long days in the very wet tundra of the Western Arctic during the Arctic 1000 Expedition Our feet were wet the entire time, but we suffered no maceration or blisters during the trek." - Ryan Jordan
