I still sweat when wearing this brace. We bought it to protect our backs when we do yard work. I still consider it a very good investment.

My brace did not really help me . And I would believe all braces like these would be hot in the summer heat.

Sorry waiting until hot weather is here and I have time. My daughter has one and loves it. I have seen the before and after, that is why I bought one for myself. I will be getting a work out in a few weeks.

My brace is very tight and use it for gym workout and tai chi...so use it an hour at a time.it is too uncomfortable to wear it over ang period of time.

I wear the brace next to the skin, but you could wear a sock over it or under it depending on how tight that makes it feel. It's warm and comforting next to the skin.

Not really. It's stretchy fabric so you'd be tightening it a lot. Also you'd get hot.

I have heated seats only and I can feel the heat as the cushion warms up, so I assume the same with cooling. I love this seat cushion not only for my back but I also sit higher which I like.

I don't think it overly traps heat, I don't think it has a cool gel. In the summer will be the true test

It's not actually that odd of a response. It would depend on your flexibility. I was able to get the brace on easily on my own, but I'm still fairly limber. If you are stiff or not very flexible you're going to need a little help getting it on. You'll have to decide that on your own. It is a very good brace and I'm not sure I've seen a better one advertised.

If I understand it correctly, you are asking if you get hot when sitting on it. I live in Florida and have only used it through this past winter. However, it is very warm here now and I have not experienced it as being uncomfortable or warm. I absolutely love this. It has helped my back issues tremendously.

I do not believe that it would harm or cause the brace to malfunction. It is made of nylon and other materials that will get wet and not harm the brace. If I was wearing it in salt water, I would want to really rinse it out to preserve it longer.

I haven't had any such problem with this brace. It's comfortable enough for me. But I don't wear it at night I use it only to keep my trigger thumb in check when I'm doing manual work.

I agree with T.K.; it's great. Mine continued to stretch out for awhile, so I'd recommend marking the brace height and checking it every once in awhile.

No, it's for hot weather. The slightest breeze cools you off when you have it on.

If you use it in the summer use shinny side out. It'll help keep it cooler.

I bought this brace and cant even wear it . It is made of cheap pvc and in my opinion would break easily. It was a waste of money for me and my injuries were also sport related. It provides no support or stabilization. Hope this helps u

Sure can, just check your skin once in awhile to make sure you're not getting too much heat. I'd also suggest checking out Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis to get your multifidus muscles in shape which also helps get rid of back pain.

Yes, you can. My husband does. I cannot due to back issues. I put a towel over my head and around my neck (wear it like a kerchief) to trap the heat.
