The only thing that should be worn in a sauna is a smile!

Would a phone survive being taken into a sauna? Surely humid air would get in and then it would condense inside when they go out into th cooler atmosphere outside?

What did you expect ?

@NaughtyPickle I expected exactly what I read. Based on my own sauna observations this article is spot-on. People with workout gear, phones, etc. But the worst are those that come in from the pool with their bathing suits on. The heat of the sauna releases chlorine from their suits in the form of gas.
