I am looking for a base layer that will wick moisture and, ideally, retain some heat. My back seizes when chilled. Does it work for that function?

No. You should purchase an "Under Armour Men's UA ColdGear® Evo Compression Hybrid Mock". I am not kidding. I am 5'11" and have 170 lb. I've got a size M. It has very good compression and mesh panels under the armpits. The Heat in summer has bothered me at no time. It is the shirt for you, I promise. Tristran.

It should work for that just fine as long as you wear something over it like a t-shirt, otherwise it will keep you cool wherever it's exposed to air

not as tight as I would have wanted them to be.the dallas dry heat doesnot pose a humidity problem though.they are a eye candy on the countertop for me.I store loose tea ,sugar in them and have not encountered a moisture issue in 3 months use.

No. You would want to look for Heat Gear items (designed to keep you cool on the heat). This is a Cold Gear item (designed to keep you warm in the cold).

Other waterproof mattress covers have a heavy plastic on the back causing excessive sweating.the cool shield protects but does not cause sweating. My husband is bed ridden and really sweats but with the cool shield you get the protection without the sweating. Great product. We love it.

I think if you heat the Hot/Cold pack you might not get condensation but I would do a test run first. Good luck!

I have this pad. I recommend always following the usage directions because if anything goes wrong, you have not a leg to stand on with the company who gave you warning. You might try lying down to put the pad on your back and cover it with a blanket or something to hold in the heat. I use the pad to cover my cold feet. It can get quite hot to touch. I keep it at around 155 f. Higher and I have to fidget to keep it from being uncomfortable. Well, I hope this was helpful. Happy heating.

The Frogg Togg is the only one I have used. As a footnote to my review, I left the wrap draped over a chair back (on top of a towel). This morning when I went to get it to put it away, I found that the last 13 or 14 inches were still damp, and VERY COLD! I am very, very satisfied with this item!

I used the camelback bladder for a backpacking trip into the Grand Canyon. It held up very well inside the internal pocket in the pack. I did not notice any moisture inside. The humidity in the Canyon was near zero. condensation could occur if the liquid was cold and the enviroment humid. Th Camelback Bladder after all is just a medium thickness plastic bag that would be vunerable to puncture. I wouldn't trust it with my unprotected electronics.

This product works great to keep cool during a workout. It may be more pertinent to ensure the people are well hydrated and have access to shade during the summer heat- so reusable water bottles, a tent, or umbrella would be paramount. If my opinion matters for anything, it seems like more good could be done to pool the money and try to sponsor a program to help the homeless person get a job or find housing. If a person is truly in need, they would benefit from addressing more important necessities than this.

they have a variety in Buff. I'd read the descriptions to see the difference in material (some are moisture wicking, some to hold heat in). Sorry I can't be of more help but I bought the two I did for winter use. Having said that, I love my Buff and bought one for my brother for Christmas!

Most would agree it will work fine under a shirt. Also rec. trying the multifidus stabilizing ex's in "Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis" for your back.

Yes, I did and found it a marginal product, however, I live in south Texas and it gets SUPER hot here and I think I decided on a combination of some kind of regular frozen pad and a fan. Maybe the product would be ok where you live. It just did not feel cool enough to make a difference. Good luck.

I have no idea. I have never used it at times I would be sweating. Not sure that would work but I've not used it for that.

I disagree with the previous comment. I've been using this mattress on a wood floor, and it must be aired and dried out constantly or else water will condense on the entire underside of the foam and cause mold. I've been looking for a good slatted base to put it on so that it will breathe.

If you do not sweat then I would not purchase this item. Otherwise you would have to experiment with the settings and time to find out what works best for you. However these blankets are not returnable when used.

I like the one I bought and it does have moist heat. It is heavy because of size but it will wrap all around my back or cover both knees depending on where I'm hurting. It will turn off after 30 minutes. It has a good range of heat temp.
