>James, there is no need to pack HIE in icesboxes etc. I even belief, that HIE is just as sensitive to temperature than other ordinary films, at least for the short period! However, keeping capabilities for HIE are a problem for the longer period. I traveled in hot climates and I never had any fogging of HIE due to high temparature.Keep it in shade, protect it from direct sunlight and don't leave it in a hot car. Handle it like any other film! Fogging of your films should have been caused by something else, like improper handling of the film during loading/unloading/expiration date/developing  etc. You better check that procedure again in stead of worrying about the temperature. Success!
