Let me start by saying this sauna suit is no joke when it comes to making you sweat. I used it during my boxing training sessions, and within 10 minutes, I could feel my body temperature rising. By the end of a 1-hour workout, I was absolutely drenched - like I'd just stepped out of a swimming pool!
The zipper design is a major plus compared to pull-over styles. No more awkward struggling to get out of a sweaty top - just unzip and you're free! The material feels surprisingly lightweight during workouts, though it does trap heat effectively. I wore it for cycling and yoga too, and the flexibility was impressive.
Now for the not-so-great parts: sizing is definitely tricky. Like many reviewers mentioned, it runs small. I normally wear medium but had to size up to L/XL for a comfortable fit that didn't feel like a second skin. The initial chemical/fishy odor is real (my husband made the same "culo" comment!), but leaving it outside overnight plus a wash with vinegar completely eliminated the smell.
Pro tip: Stay hydrated! I learned this the hard way when I got lightheaded after an intense session. The suit works almost too well at making you sweat, so keep water handy.
At $15, this is an absolute steal for how effective it is at increasing sweat output during workouts. Just be prepared to size up and deal with that initial funky smell - both issues are easily manageable for the results you get.
