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

I dont believe it retains the heat, works well to protect the mattress from moisture.

That depends. I think if you get hot and sweaty really easily, you might not like the hot, constricting sensation. If you don't mind, it may help you maintain good form. Give it a shot. I did it a few times, and found it too constricting myself.

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.

There are a couple different fabrics, but the basic one can be sweaty. Evenflo offers a new fabric choice that is supposed to help regulate body temperature. Check out their website.

Temp wise, it doesn't hold a ton of heat like I have seen complaints with other brands. You should look into ones with the cooling gel if you like being cold.

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).

Most of the heat comes from the sides and not the back. I don't know how that will work in your situation.

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!

I work at a large box store retailer in general merchandise and am always bending, lifting, stacking, climbing ladders, etc., and it is always warmer on my side of the store so I sweat pretty heavy except when the temperature outside is below 40 degrees. IT STAYS always holds! The stuff is great! I usually put a spot of it on the very back of my leg, one on each side and one in front and it has never failed since I have started using IT STAYS!

When your freezing Looks do not matter. And this is for extreme weather. One mans oppinion but when your in fridged conditions you need something that will cover every inch of you yet still be able to breath without creating moisture from your breath..The wind proof breath holes are what sets this apart.

Make sure the wick is cut an inch longer than neccesary. I dip the wick into hot beeswax and let it dry. That way the wick is stiff and easier to deal with. Then, wrap one end around a skewer or pencil and lay the pencil on top of the jar. It holds the wick in the center of the jar. Then if you pour a little of the beeswax mix in the jar and let it cool you will have a base! Hopefully that wasn't too confusing. I Learned this from ''Diy natural's'' website and it worked well for me!

That is pretty much what it is. You wear cotton (head to toe) and lay in it to sweat. My unit did not work and I am in the process of sending it back to get a refund. My husband and I went and bought a better system sauna at Home Depot. Do not Buy this!

I have never had any problems like that. If anything you might develop a little bit on condensation but your breath will keep it warm or at least above freezing. I used this while commuting to work and back on my bicycle and all I noticed was a small amount of air restriction from the mesh itself and hardly any condensation.

For that temp range mid-weight would be way too much for me. I would go for several light layers. Your insulation needs will vary widely during hiking, resting etc. so it will be the old story of layer up and layer down.

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.

I would recommend this always. Thin layer or thermal is always good. The brand is also good, but general will work also.
