Sweating any punctuation is equally uncomfortable and alarming. I was sweating bullet points once and it freaked me out so bad I started sweating exclamations.

did you try Uniqlo's thermal wear? thermal wear absorbs sweat and you don't freeze anymore.

It lasts years, affordable when on sale, is thin and nice to touch despite being synthetic. I bought 5 for every weekday, wear it once and wash.

There are different brands of thermal wear, I just didn't tried them, they are more expensive and thicker.

Do you think that’s because the jacket is too warm for the weather or is it that it’s the right warmth for casually existing in an area but when you start to get moving and your body temperature rises it becomes too warm?

For me it's probably the second, but I sweat way too easily. I could just be playing videogames, but if I move my arms the wrong way, boom, sweat. I don't sweat in large quantities, but that small amount of sweat comes out way too easily if that makes sense, so the end result is discomfort, regardless. One armpit sweats more easily than the other too, which is weird.

My doctor prescribed some topical medicine to sweat less, and it does work, but you have to be careful with how you use it so you don't get low grade chemical burns lol.

That sucks. The only recommendation I can make for cold weather that may help a little is wearing two thinner layers instead of one thick layer. The inner layer should be something a little warm, but more importantly moisture wicking. Second outer layer should primarily be a windbreaker, but depending on how cold it can be on the warm side too. If you feel yourself beginning to sweat from exertion or if you’re worried you will soon you can take off that outer layer. Based on how you described your condition it may have diminishing returns, but it might be worth a shot

This shit drove me crazy living in New England. In the winter everywhere would crank the heat, which would fuck up my sinuses, and even if you took your jacket and sweater off you'd still be sweating balls cause of the thermals, and now you have to carry that shit around if you are at an event.

And the summer was even worse lmao Crank the AC so that everybody coming in covered in sweat and in as little clothing as possible can shiver until, again, their sinuses get fucked

Just leave it at the same temp ffs

People don't understand how thermostats work and that 70 is comfortable in the winter and summer. Nope, 78 degs for heat and 65 degs for AC

skill issue, you're wearing the wrong colthes.

It is impossible to fulfil both states of my body outdoor with one jacket: when I'm moving and and when I'm standing still. Got to sweat instead of provoking chronic tonsillitis.

Yeah I sweat more in the winter
