Does the Apex 2 cause extra perspiration when it’s worn in the heat?

Designed for Comfort and Airflow

We have designed the Apex 2 to allow as much comfort and airflow as possible around the body, but like wearing a backpack, some extra perspiration is common where the Apex 2 is close to the body (e.g., on the shoulder straps, back, and thigh sleeves).

Following policies and procedures for working in hot environments will help minimize heat stress such as taking breaks, working in the shade, and staying hydrated.

Additionally with your Apex 2,  creating a wear schedule, loosening the thigh sleeves and shoulder straps during breaks, and taking the device off during peak temperatures can minimize heat stress. Please make sure there is access to medical professionals in case of an emergency.
