At last, one of them works.
(4 out of 5) by Th Papageorgiou on Mar 13, 2007 (Athens, Greece) I can not write English well, so I write the conclusion only.
I have tried a lot of gels and creams for my Polar chest strap, which I use with my Tunturi treadmill in HRC programs.
Till now, I had used several gels and creams, but they were not successfull for the job. The treadmill showed much more beats and so, the machine slowed down and the program did not work.
Now things chavged. I see 500+ calories burnt and 7Km distance, while with the other products, I saw 350calories and 5.5Km, at the same time interval.(1 hour).
Now, I add this for better results.
I use two pieces of cotton cloth cut to fit the electrode side of the strap, which ,(the cloth),I immerse in water first, and put them on the electrode side of the strap, putting some cream on both sides of the cloth.
This makes the surface moisture more time, so the system works very well.
With the addition of the cloth, I would put a 5 to rate the item.

Good stuff
(5 out of 5) by CB on Mar 18, 2007 (Maine)I had been having problems with my heart rate monitor readings dropping out during mid-exercise so I decided to try electrode cream to see if it would help. Using Buh bump solved the problem. I haven't had the problem with drops outs or crazy spikes in my heart rate monitor since I started using the cream. I only need to use a little bit of it on each electrode so the 2.5 oz size should last for quite awhile. The stuff has a nice clean scent as well.

Works really well!
(5 out of 5) by Gerrit Wessendorf on Oct 10, 2007 (Baltimore, MD)I experienced some really annoying misreadings and drop-outs with my Polar CS300 and first thought there was a problem with my heart rate monitor. But when I gave the cream a try all my problems magically disappeared. The heart rate monitor manuals and faq's should link to this page :)
Love it.
Love it.

This is the best
(5 out of 5) by Erin Smith on Apr 29, 2008 (Gilbert, AZ)This cream is the best. Works much better than having to "wet" the sensors and it has a pleasant scent.

Buh-Bump
(5 out of 5) by Charles Uchida on Dec 5, 2007 (Chhicago Il USA)Made my sometimes erratic heart rate monitor behave...I get more out of my workouts and it smells nice, not overwhelming.
