The instructions specifically say NOT to wear it if you will be sweating, such as working out in a gym or running or jogging. I would think getting sweaty while working at an outdoor job would fall into this same category and not be recommended.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi, that's a great question! The UPRIGHT GO and the UPRIGHT GO2 should either be attached to your back by adhesives or held by a necklace. When using the adhesives we recommend wearing your UPRIGHT GO/ GO2 in an indoor air-conditioned environment. However, when using the necklace you can wear the UPRIGHT GO/ GO2 throughout the day without any sweat related restrictions.

I think is best for activities that it doesn’t involve sweating like walking and sitting. You may try like a discreet back brace. I saw a couple of them in Amazon.com with very high reviews.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Definitely not made for laborious activities. I was using this unit on a humid day and it peeled off my back.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.To me, the bigger issue is whether a device that sticks out about 1/2 to 3/4 inch from your back would work with whatever gear you're wearing or carrying. If that kind of size isn't an issue, I'm not sure how long the adhesive will continue sticking under your conditions. There's not more than half-an-inch wide by about 1 1/2 inches of adhesive to begin with.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's recommended that you start at home, practice, and work your way up to more strenuous activity. I used it while on a long Jog. Just be mindful that you have it on.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Upright Go stays on well with the adhesive provided if you are sitting at home or doing minor tasks. I doubt it will stay on when working strenuously. However, the company just came out with a "necklace" for the unit that simply plugs into the micro USB port to hold the unit in place around your neck and on your back. I ordered one but haven't received it yet.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The device attaches easily and had no problem with it staying on and was easily removed when I was done using it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.They suggest not to use it while exercising or doing strenuous work. It's meant to trach while sitting at a desk primarily
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's not designed to be used during heavy physical activity that results in a lot of sweat. The instructions clearly state this. However, I did find that it stays on really well during light activity. The silicon adhesive seems to be really effective, especially when it's new or cleaned with soap and water. But if using during heavy activity, it will eventually fall off.
