I’m wearing the short-arm fracture now. Man, my arms sweats and sweats and sweats in the Exos cast. I can’t emphasize that enough. There are a lot of small holes cut in the design, but the cast just doesn’t breath. In fact, it seems to hold in the heat. The sweating makes for a very itchy arm. There’s no way to nicely say this, but all the sweating has caused the cast to smell. The fit is very uneven and awkward; it offers poor support. Due to that, I can barely use my arm. The lacing system needs work, too. I’ve actually been wishing for the last two weeks that I had a traditional plaster cast. DO NOT LET YOUR DOCTOR PUT THIS CAST ON YOU IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. If you’re petite as I am, RUN the other way if your doctor to use the Exos.

I would be enormously grateful if someone could tell me where to buy one of these in the UK for my 9 year old daughter who has broken her heel – we leave for our annual 3 week beach holiday on Monday. She is up to the knee in plaster and down in the dumps, crying with frustration (she’s a budding gymnast) and feeling horribly limited knowing she can’t swim…..and it’s gonna be HOT! I’d swap places with her like yesterday……can anyone help?

I haven’t had one, thankfully, but they look and sound like something out of William Gibson’s Neuromancer novel.
