If I run for over two hours in 85F - 95F temperature, will these stay cool and not retain heat like most thick knee supports do?

Actually this knee brace not provide cooling effect (indeed it is breathable), if you run in 85F - 95F...probably still feeling hot around knee... I would only say it is more comfortable than other nylon / polymer made knee braces even in hot weather. Hope this help.

Personally, I live in Texas and haven't had any issues with this brace when it comes to heat

Not sure because my son uses them for volleyball. He hasn't complained about them making him hot though.

They stay fairly cool. There have been a couple times when I needed potholders for comfort.

They are a little heavy, but not really uncomfortable. I bought the vest for gardening in the summer. It gets over 100 deg. here. At that temperature the vest cools for only about and hour.

I don't think you would have any problems wearing all night. The support does not seem to cause excessive warmth to my elbow, just enough to keep my elbow warmed up during activity and during slight pauses between turns.

I'm not sure why you'd want to mold these to shape with heat, I certainly wouldn't try. You see all those lines in the picture? Those are grooves in the knee pad that allow it to flex pretty readily. They're a type of foam rubber, so I wouldn't expose them to heat, so I have no idea how much heat they'd tolerate. And, finally, no; they're not FR. I'm not an expert in FR clothing, but isn't the FR-ness of protective clothing based on the external layer? Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you basically wear napalm skivvies and not affect the Kcal rating of your FR clothing?

I have been pretty drenched running with these and I have not had an issue (yet). I tend to sweat heavily and I've worn them for several 6-8 mile runs without issue.

I believe they will work well in any application. I move automobiles at an auction after dark a couple of nights a week in the bitter cold and I wear them with sneakers. Heat Holders are a great product. I own three pairs!

The thermal ones would, but I would be too hot. I think a smart wool would work better. Michigan winter. Depends on your intensity of workout

From my experience, these will not slide down when you run. The key is getting your lower strap above your calf and having it at the right tightness. If you do both of these things, you wont have a problem. If you have really small calves, then any knee pad you have is likely to slip down. (If you buy this product, make sure to even out the clothing underneath your lower strap before use as wrinkles and bunches of clothing under the strap can cut of blood supply and cause discomfort.

There a lot of factors at play here. A lot of that does depend on where you are in the world and your relative humidity. Under normal conditions they dry in a few hours. I highly recommend these, even if your feet sweat a lot they stay pretty dry and help avoid blisters.

Great for travel, as they fold up. For running, I would guess not so good. They are closed, and have leatherette pads, so probably, they will get warm. I might look elsewhere. Maybe Koss PortaPros.

I haven't noticed any heat retention. I am warm-natured and sleep very comfortably.

I actually can't tell. They are very supportive, but a bit hot to wear except in cold weather.

Best to say they are a second skin. We have had 26 degree temps, but I haven't been out for more than 30 min. They don't make you warm & fuzzy, you would need heavier thermals. I find I can wear them even to work, helping get to & from the car & not overheating me while indoors. Hope that answers the question.

Not at all. When you put them on correctly they stay in place no matter how rigorous your workout is. Put it this way.. I wear them when playing basketball, which involves sprinting and jumping and bumping into other players. You will not be disappointed with these.

Haven't worn them in real hot weather, but they are comfortable and not bulky. So, I would guess they would feel fine in any weather.

No! It stays cool while my legs are on it. It feels really good on my legs, knees and especially my back!
