Witeowl - I live in high humidity and thought I was nuts. I had the same experience as you. I felt so much better when I took them off. I have had them for quite a while, way before this thread even started. Not sure what the difference is, but the things were just miserable on me, and I tried them several times in different situations, I even tried them when I mowed the grass on the riding lawnmower.
They do fit nicely and don't slide down though.
