$10.00 | | Purchased At: | Rite Aid | | Strengths: | IT WORKS!!! | | Weaknesses: | Oil lotion that you have to rub yourself down with. Price is a little expensive. | | Similar Products Used: | Simple Green | | Bottom Line: | I have been exposed and rubbed Poison Oak many times and after the ride....use Tecnu. It seems to work really well. I once forgot the bottle and got a little poison Oak on my legs. If you ride trails where there is a lot of Poison Oak...USE IT!!! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: September 7, 2001 | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Strengths: | really works | | Weaknesses: | cost (they seem to have a monopoly) | | Similar Products Used: | soap | | Bottom Line: | Don't even screw around... if you get any kind of reaction to poison oak/ivy (and there's tons of poison oak around the bay area trails), use this stuff. Once the rash sets in it's less effective, but it still does work and beats the hell out of suffering for the two or three weeks while the rash goes away (using this stuff eliminates the rash in 2-3 days, and using it right after riding prevents the rash all together in most cases).

Date Reviewed: December 21, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | Chubb in st louis | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Purchased At: | walmart, i think | | Strengths: | nice, small bottle, it came free with this anti-itch cream by the same company; seems to have worked to far becasue the few times i have used it nothing really has come up; maybe i got lucky | | Weaknesses: | uh, pretty runny, not really somehting that one can apply with fingerless gloves on | | Similar Products Used: | this is the only skin cleasner other than naptha soap, and soap and water in general | | Bike Setup: | 99 Trek 7000 | | Bottom Line: | i keep it in my camelbak all the time, jsut in case. like i said, it is a small bottle so it doesn't take up a lot of space. i think it is worth it, because poison ivy is like cancer to me; even if i think about the stuff, i probably have it. in fact, just mentioning the term "poison ivy" in this review probably has caused me to aquire it somehow. just so you know how susceptible i am to it. like i said earlier, it is worth it, and has worked so far. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: August 4, 2000 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | Prevents or minimizes the effects of poison ivy. | | Weaknesses: | Cost - YIKES!!! | | Similar Products Used: | bleach, detergent, peroxide, scratch skin off | | Bike Setup: | Gary Fisher X-Cal | | Bottom Line: | This product is expensive but does prevent/"cure" the rash which can form after contact with the dreaded ivy oil. After a two week long knock down drag out battle with a rash on my arm (that I was losing) I bought this stuff in desperation. I used it as directed and it cleared the rash right up after a couple of days. Now I wash down my legs and arms after each ride. I will still get the start of a rash now and then... but I hit it once or twice with the Technu as soon as it appears and it is stopped dead. If you ride trails covered in ivy like me and my buddies... I'd say you get the Technu and see if it works for you. I know for a fact that it works for at least three riders in Ohio! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Easy to apply- sense of being bulletproof to poison oak. | | Weaknesses: |
Doesn't work- expensive! | | Similar Products Used: |
Soap & water, water. | | Bike Setup: |
Yes | | Bottom Line: | I used to think this stuff was the bees knees, until I realized it wasn't really working. I'd still get oak all the time. Now, I just rinse off with plain ol' water as soon as I can after the ride, and that seems to work just as well. God, this stuff is expensive! And yes, I followed the directions. | Overall Rating: |
