What do you all think.  3 years running.  What works, how do you use it and what's your favorite products.

Im suspicious of any sales pitch from a guy wearing an expedition coat in the middle of summer.

I have a moderate case of hyperdosis. I don’t get splits or flappers, I just wear my tips down to bloody stumps on granite. Started using rhino skin products two years ago and they are a god send, I can climb slopers now! I still prefer antihydral for tips most of the time.

So for my water fountain hands mid summer I’ll do antihydral on tips twice during the week tue/thursday, dry spray Friday night, go climb. Mickeys tip juice that night and either dry again or performance cream, go climb Sunday. For normal skin that much would probably lead to glassy skin and splits.

Winter I stop with antihydral since it leads to dry fires on plastic. Then I’ll just do two runs of tip juice and the performance cream the night before climbing on rock.

I’ll second everything Nick said. For those of use who have sweaty hands, and climb granite ina humid climate, it is a game changer.

Rhino is way better than the other options! I use repair and performance and then the split stick for skin cracks. Of the other brands that I have used they are oily and don't do anything more than repair the skin. Rhino goes above repair and helps condition my skin.

I have insanely sweaty hands. (Chalk every move). The Tip Juice is great. Twice a week is enough to keep from sweating. However, over application will result in
extremely glassy, hard, slippery tips.

I also get similar results from Antihydral.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
