Sauna suits yes or no

What on earth is a sauna suit? The thought in itself of wearing anything in a sauna confuses me.1

They make you lose water weight through sweating.
Which is put back on as soon as you rehydrate (drink something). The loss is temporary and has nothing whatsoever to do with fat loss.
Utterly useless, unless you're a weight class athlete (wrestler, powerlifter, etc.) trying to make weight for an event.7 -
@Anvil_Head I never realised that I bought one last night thinking it would help me when I'm training but if that's all it does then I doubt il use it #wasteofmoney

If you like sweating then yes.
If you don't then no.
Irrelevant for fat loss.0 -

To be absolutely correct about this, you will burn more calories wearing a sauna suit because your body is doing more metabolic work by making you sweat to cool you down. In a similar way, keeping your body warm burns more calories when you shiver.
But the amount of extra calories you burn will be tiny and get lost in the noise (variability) inherent in CICO.5 -

They can also cause dehydration and screw up your electrolyte balance. And cause you to overheat because they don't let sweat do what it's supposed to do, which is to cool your body.4 -

I agree and I wasn't advocating their use. Just commenting on the "weight loss" question.2 -

The "weight" that will be lost will be water. Once you rehydrate, the weight will return.
You do not burn more calories wearing a sauna suit.1 -
Why on earth would I want to dehydrate myself? If anything, I want to stay well-hydrated during exercise, so it's an absolute NO!2

You do. It's a tiny amount but you do.
Calories are required to sweat more. It's an extra metabolic process that needs energy.
You need to read my post that @AnvilHead quoted. As I said, in the grand scheme of things it won't lead to weight loss but it's not strictly correct to say you don't burn more calories.
ETA: And read my first post on this thread if you'd like an insight into my opinions on woo.1 -

I will admit that I missed your original post. Agreed that it will be a negligible amount and not worth considering.2 -

My understanding of how sauna suits work lead me to believe that i will lose all water weight, no problem. That sweat will also carry with it sodium and other materials that could use a good flush/detox. I hydrate all day and sweat out the bad during my workout and rehydrate with good clean water. I feel better, healthier, and feel encouraged seeing a ton of sweat leaving the body. Sweat is my inner fat kid tears. So i do think that sauna suits, if used properly, are a good tool for detoxing and burning at least a couple extra calories while feeling like a million bucks. This is the opinion of a novice weight loss monk.7

Except detoxing isn't a thing. That's what we have liver and kidneys for.4
