Athletes such as boxers and wrestlers sometimes use these sweat suits to rapidly drop pounds when they have a “weigh in” approaching.

And how does this happen?

These suits work by trapping heat inside. You sweat heavily because your body wants to stay cool. This is what a sauna sweat suit is made for.

(Popular brands are Valeo, Bally and Everlast sauna suits)

There is potential danger, and I’ll get to that in one minute…

Are there any benefits of using a vinyl or nylon sweat suit?

These suits can aid in fast weight loss because they can maximize the shedding of water from your body.

You can drop lots of pounds in a short period of time. However, the loss will be water, and that takes me to my next point…

These nylon, vinyl or plastic sauna suits are advertised as workout or exercise suits that can help you lose lots of weight fast. This is an attempt to cash in on the huge weight loss industry.

You will lose weight in the form of sweat, which is water and electrolytes. The bad news is that it will come back when you replace what was lost by drinking water.

Therefore, these so called workout or sauna exercise suits are not permanent weight loss solutions.

Danger!

As I mentioned before, these sweat suits act as heat trappers. Your body has a much harder time cooling itself while wearing one, and your core temperature can potentially rise to dangerous levels if you exercise in one of these suits.

Extreme core temperature elevation is so dangerous that it can possibly lead to heat stroke. Dehydration is possible as well due to loss of fluids.

On the flip side, there are users who say that wearing one of these plastic, nylon or vinyl sauna suits while exercising did help them lose weight faster.

Personally, I say avoid them. If you insist on trying one, please be safe! Drink plenty of water before, during, and after, and monitor your body for any danger signals.

A sauna suit will prevent your body heat from escaping. Wearing a sauna suit during a workout will cause you to perspire much more heavily than usual. The excessive perspiration leads to temporary weight loss because you’re losing your water stores. Some people think they’ll lose a lot of weight by wearing a sauna suit regularly. But keep in mind that it will only help you lose water weight, not fat.

It’s critical that you drink lots of water when you work out in a sauna suit because it’s easy to become dehydrated.

A sauna suit can also be used as part of a body wrap treatment. Its heat trapping properties maximize the effects of this treatment. It also helps to contain the mess associated with the components of a body wrap, like clay and mud.

Keeping warm is another good reason to use a sauna suit. A sauna suit is also good for outdoor activities in cold weather since it holds in your body heat. They improve your circulation and keep your muscles warm due to their heat trapping effect.

Vinyl is a popular material for sauna suits because it’s tough and can handle abuse. With aggressive activities such as boxing or wrestling, there’s very little chance of the suit taking any damage.

A less costly option is a nylon sauna suit. They’re a good choice if you plan on doing intense exercise because you won’t sweat excessively. Good sauna suits made of nylon will have a light rubber coating on the inside to protect them from wear and tear.

Sauna suits are amazingly cheap. A good sauna suit will cost around $100, but you can get a basic one for $10 and up. Many sauna suits come in only a couple of sizes, either small-medium or large-extra large. If you’re a petite female, be cautious of unisex sizes because they might be way too big.

The reason for a sauna suit is to make you perspire more heavily by trapping heat near to your body. So you need to watch for the details that will maximize this ability. Look for jackets with drawstring waists that you can tie. Pants should have elastic at the waist and ankles. There should be elastic on the cuffs of the jacket. Also make sure the zippers are durable and rust resistant.

Each time you wear it, you need to do some basic maintenance on your sauna suit. Bacteria will thrive in the environment you’ve created by working up a sweat. Rinse your suit thoroughly with warm water and the recommended cleaner, and hang to dry.
