I’m not sure if the neoprene gets the body warm enough to see the therapeutic effects but I admit I don’t know. Probably makes the sweat obvious and prominent.
Workout Environment
Your workout environment is the primary determinate of how warm or hot your body temperature get in the the Kutting Weight Neoprene Sauna Suits; working out in 0 C vs 33 C.
I have pretty much the whole Kutting Weight Neoprene ensemble: Vest, Sauna Long Sleeve Shirt, Sauna Tights, and Sauna Pants.
You're warm with all of them on, just sitting. In an an intensive work out, you're melting in sweat, especially if you are in a warm or hot environment.
The Kutting Weight Neoprene Sauna Suit gear isn't cheap but it is cheaper than purchasing a nice sauna.
I purchased the Kutting Weight Neoprene Sauna Suit gear piece by piece because I was not sure about the quality or how effective it would be. This is stuff and works.
Therapeutic Effect
I posted this information in my first post. Here it is again...
The Performance Benefits of Training with a Sauna Suit

The Bottom Line
The primary finding of this study is that
short-term training in a sauna suit improves heat acclimation and endurance performance.
The athletes who took part in this study saw a
3% increase in their speed after only two weeks of training in the sauna suit. That may not seem like a huge improvement, but it
can easily represent the difference between victory and defeat.
The Car Sauna
I like to experiment and push the limits with training and things like this.
So, one afternoon it was 33 C. I got in my car with the Neoprene Sauna Suit for 20 minutes.
The car temperature was 51 C, measures with my Infrared Temperature Gun.
I cooked for 20 minutes.
Rejuvenator Portable Sauna
I've seen this. I question the quality or durability of it.
I’ve also seen something that looks like an electric blanket/sleeping bag designed to be used as a sauna.

Cancer Centers of America uses this for cooking cancer.
Traditional Heating Blanket for Sleeping
I have one. In the winter before training in the morning, I put on my workout gear, get back in bed and crank up the heating blanket.
Saunas, warm/hot showers, laying under a heating blanket, etc are...
Passive Warm Up Methods
Research has demonstrated you are more productive with training, thinking, etc when you body temperature is elevated.
That is the underlying findings of your body's...

Your body temperature minutely fluctuates throughout a 24 hour day.
You are most productive when your body temperature is at the top end.
You are less productive when you body temperature is at the bottom end.
That is one of the reason that thermogenic supplements like caffeine, green tea, ephedrine, etc work...they elevate your body temperature.
The East German's realized this...
High Octane Training 2 | T Nation
"The East Germans understood the role of additional heat when an extensive review of world record performances revealed how often the record setter was at the early stages of a cold and running a fever when the record was set. (Later into the cold, the adverse effects outweigh the benefits, of course.) This led the East Germans to experiment with de-natured viruses to generate a slight fever immediately prior to a world record attempt!"
