I am bruised red, black and blue from my Polar HRM chest strap. Does this happen to anyone else ? What do you do ? The area is not really painful, but kind of burning and itchy .

Me too. I use a strip of surgical tape over the rubbed area. Doesn't interfere with the HRM and lets the area keep from chafing.

Thanks. I will have to try that.

Hope it works. Done wonders for me as I really like using my HRM. I fully expected JK and Scout on this thread to add some of their flavor but I guess they are busy with running barefoot whist consuming garlic.
