Double the Jar. Double the Miles.

You train too much for a 4oz jar. The 8oz Gooch Guard Anti-Chafe Cream is the high-mileage rider's choice. Same pro-grade Smooth Defense formula, in the value size built for big weeks, stage races, and marathon blocks.

This is the premium chamois cream that prevents and soothes chafing irritation ride after ride. It goes on creamy, stays put for hours (riders report it holding strong after 30-mile rides), and keeps saddle sores from ever getting started.

Why the 8oz Wins

All-day staying power: one morning application covers the longest training days.
Saddle sore defense: stops friction before it becomes a problem.
Skin-first formula: plant-based, cruelty-free, no harsh chemicals.
Proven at scale: 4.6 stars from 1,800+ Amazon ratings. Made in USA.

How to Use

Apply a thin, even layer to chafe-prone skin before training.

FAQ

How long does the 8oz jar last?
For most athletes applying before each workout, the 8oz jar covers roughly twice the training weeks of the 4oz. Ideal for daily riders and marathon training blocks.

Is the formula different from the 4oz jar?
Identical. Same Smooth Defense formula, same protection, just more of it.

Is Gooch Guard only for cyclists?
No. Runners, triathletes, and gym athletes use it anywhere chafing strikes.

A++

Works great!

Smells

It works well, but the smell is really intense and it's kinda greasy.

Great chamois cream

I have been cycling since I was a toddler, and I never stopped riding bicycles. That said for the last 30 years I've been riding with cycling bibs and using chamois creams. Gooch Guard is my favorite all around chamois cream these days. It is smooth, slightly warming, and holds up without feeling sticky or greasy. I've used other brands and I do like this one a little bit better.

great to prevent chafing and sores

This is probably my second favorite Chamois Cream behind the Assos Chamois Cream. What really gives the edge to Assos is that is is more of a creamy texture and feel, where Gooch Guard is slightly greasier and I guess "sticky"

In actual application this works amazingly well at preventing chaffing and saddle sores. Keeps everything in that area well lubricated and able to glide against each other without irritation. It just takes a couple fingers worth and apply to both the pad and your skin and it should work well for hours of riding.

Works Well and Lasts a Long Time- I'm Going for the Gooch

I've used several brands of chamois cream including the most popular purple and yellow labeled stuff. The first time I used Gooch Guard was yesterday, and I was impressed that when I got home after a 30-mile ride I noticed it was still there where I had applied it. I find that many other brands tend to "wash" off once you begin to perspire down there. I only giving it 4 stars right now because a jar of this stuff is almost the same price as 8 ounces of the more popular brand but only contains 4.2 ounces, about half the amount of product. If I find that I don't have to reapply it as often and that it works for a longer time, I'll come back and update my rating. For now though it's a bit pricey for how much you get.

Update 3/15/16: I've now used this product several times and on several long rides. My initial review still stands- it works well, last longer, and doesn't wash off. I keep this stuff for when I'm riding 50 or more miles, and use another less expensive brand that works well for shorter rides. I still have about 2/3 of a jar left, and I haven't yet decided if I'll buy another when this runs out. My last test of this product will be when I use it in the warmer months that are just around the corner.

UPDATE 5/31/2016: Now I've used Gooch Guard in both cold and hot weather. In both cases it works well and doesn't wash away with perspiration for a long time. As other reviewers have mentioned it is pricey compared to other anti-chafing products. The question about it's price really boils down to does it work well and does it last enough to justify its price. The answer to these questions is a resounding YES! I'm still using my less expensive cream for those shorter rides, but for the longer ones, 40 miles and up, Gooch Guard is my go to! As far as how long it lasts- I'm getting ready to order my second jar of it as my existing supply is running low just now. Also to demonstrate how satisfied I am with this product I'm upgrading my review for it from 4 to 5 stars.

Update 10/17/2016:

This is still my favorite chamois cream. Also the price is now $2 less and delivery is now Prime eligible.

Update 4/22/21:

As of this writing my less expensive, second tier, source of chamois cream no longer produces it, and I'm back to using Gooch Gurad as my premium go-to brand. Now, comparing it to a popular Swiss-made brand that I've tried and liked, Gooch Guard has resumed my top spot for both price and value. For about 6 bucks less Gooch Guard performs as well if not better than it's expensive Swiss-made competitor. I love the menthol in this cream as it creates a soothing layer between me and my shorts, and has the added benefit of preventing the itch that can become a problem in the warmer months. The little fungi that make you itch don't like menthol.
