Do these still cool in high humidity (up to 85%)...?

"Cool" is a relative term. When they are wet or moist and there is a bit of a breeze, they will feel a bit cool, but only a bit. However, I use mine in Honduras, where I live, and find them very comfortable in our extremely high humidity and temps. They are much better than slathering on sunscreen!!

For me, they cooled until they were saturated in sweat, then they just amplified the heat. I wore mine mountain biking in 90+ degree and >70% humidity several times and they were great for the first 15 minutes or so, then I just got too hot and sweaty. If you aren't a sweaty person or they aren't getting wet other ways, you should be good.

freezer may not be the right word but they do work and they are alot cooler than being with out

I use my sleeves for golf. Mornings have high humidity (>80%) and they provide some cooling. My primary reason for wearing them is the UV protection (recommended by my doctor) and the fact that they keep the sweat from running down to my hands. Once they become saturated, they provide cooling with the wind. I enjoy my sleeves and wear them almost daily.

I live in a super humid environment. They work best when they're damp and have airflow over them. They're going to be sticky and as uncomfortable as any athletic clothing would be at that humidity, but your skin is still protected. If you're at that level of humidity and in the sun, it's going to suck with or without the sleeves.

Yes to a certain degree but the main reason to wear them is protection from the sun. Also, don't need sunscreen and sweat doesn't run down the arms when playing golf.

I live in TX and it gets very hot here. They have stayed on and worked well for us. I read some reviews about the corners being bent, but ours stuck completely to the window, so maybe that is the difference. If you get them and they don't flatten out completely, exchange or return them immediately.

Only if there is humidity...we are in AZ,so for the most part the answer is "no".We love these and will be purchasing more for the upcoming school year!

I have had them up to 8 months without any problems. I keep mine in a cool dry place.

These really take off when the humidity is high and the temp goes above 90 degrees. Water eveyother day if heat goes above 100 degerees.

I live in north texas very hot very humid and I wear them every day at workAs a marine mechanic. They are a little warm at first but after 5 or so washes they breathe much better. Even new they still breath better than jeans.

Yes they do at times when I am outside working on the yard and the humidity is high.

I wish I could give you a decent answer but can't. I installed them above our kitchen sink and thus didn't worry about their resilance to humidity. They do work well though.

Yes they do. Don't leave them in hot environment or they melt. They work really well.

I have been using them for over a month now and I haven't had any problem. The spec says they should work up until about 149 degrees.

So sorry for the delay. My husband said that he has not used them around water but he has used them in very hot temperatures where he sweated and that moisture didn't affect them at all.

I do get a bit of condensation from these, but none has rolled off on to the coffee table. I've had them for some time and use them every single night.

I have had mine for a year and so far no moisture. They also have stood up well against the Wyoming winter.

Yes they are. I got a pair of my own for my car, and I LOVED them. They are extremely durabale and are coated with polyethylene on the back wich is like the silver duck tape you'd use for pressure-sensitive things and they are weather-resistant. I have drove with those over 90* F and under 30*F and through heavy storms and dry humidity, and they are still in perfect condition. If you really want those, I highly recommend getting them, and don't worry about the air blubbles you might develope upon putting them on, cause the heat will flatten them out. Hope I helped answering your question!! :)

I have owned 3 of these and have not seen any moisture issues and we live in a humid climate.

Evaporative coolers are great for areas with low humidity but will not work well when the humidity is high. If you are lowering the humidity sufficiently with a regular air conditioner, it could provide additional cooing to supplement the air conditioner.
