Spiking Heart Rate

[WayneO]

Hi all,

 

I have recently picked up a spiking Heart rate on my Garmin in excess of 230bpm as soon as my speed exceeds about 20km/h.

 

The guys at Garmin guess that it's the static on my clothes. My question is then when layering in winter what do you guys use that does not cause a static issue?

 

Thanks

There was a stage where I experienced the same thing but it had nothing to do with my clothes. Either I didn't wet it before putting it on or I had fitted it too high up on my chest.

There are various possibilities. 1. Most common cause: the strap is not tight enough on the chest. 2. When passing power lines or any other source of interference. 3. When descending at high speeds at high altitude. 4. Faulty battery on the chest sensor
