Is the mesh REALLY that much cooler than the regular? I live in FL and tend to think when it's 95 degrees and 98% humidity, hot is just hot.

Not very much cooler. It is somewhat cooler, but even mesh was sweaty for me when it was real feel temp of 110 in the Florida Summer. It may keep baby a little cooler because they are the ones who benefit from the mesh. Baby is heating you up regardless, but they will get more of a breeze out of the mesh than the organic cotton. Is it worth it? Its not a huge difference so go with what you like better. Its not like baby and I were sweat free in the mesh when it was that hot. The organic lillebaby is incredibly soft and I do recommend checking that out if you pass on this one.

I cant really say for sure about FL heat because im in PA, but i felt it was significantly cooler than the Baby Bjorn I used when my son was first born. That thing was swampy after awhile! :)

To be honest, we have such hot weather that I'm thrilled it knocks our temperature in a huge window-lined room down more than 10 degrees. Our room also has the disadvantage of having a huge archway that opens into a mud room and the rest of our home. It was 98 degrees outside and I was thrilled my sunroom was 80 degrees. I think expectations should be adjusted depended on load, how open the room is to other areas, and the external temperature. One thing this is NOT is central air. We have central air and there is no comparison. That being said, I still think this is the best portable unit on the market today and we are still very pleased with it.

I have never had any problems like that. If anything you might develop a little bit on condensation but your breath will keep it warm or at least above freezing. I used this while commuting to work and back on my bicycle and all I noticed was a small amount of air restriction from the mesh itself and hardly any condensation.

Yes it is mesh. They say it aids in ventilation and reduces condensation which we found to be true. The rainfly seems to do the trick because we had a few nights that it rained and had no issues.

Having only used only black I can't answer this question completely. The helmet is vented extremely well. My grandson never complains about the heat and I am told that it is cooler by far than their bicycle elements. Hope this helps.

I live in North Carolina and I have found it to be pretty cool for a life vest. The top is mesh so it definitely lets you breath.

We live in Missouri. My baby never seemed to be bothered by the heat. The only thing that really bothered here are the shoulder strap pads. But I believe the most current version has removable pads so that should no longer be an issue.

There are a couple different fabrics, but the basic one can be sweaty. Evenflo offers a new fabric choice that is supposed to help regulate body temperature. Check out their website.

Each person is different and their tolerance to climate is going to be different. I tend to overheat easily and found that 45-65 with this product is great. It keeps me cool in the warmer weather and warm in the colder weather. However 65 might be the extreme of this weight. I would suggest a light weight merino wool base layer if you are going to be in 60+ degree weather. You can always strip down a layer but it is hard to strip off your base layer :)

Not at all! It is extremely well ventilated. The sides are see-through breathable mesh, and the first layer (which you can't see in the picture), is the same breathable mesh. You do not have to use the heavier, sun reflecting layer if you do not want to. However, I believe it will not be too hot either. I live in Southern California where it can get 100+ degrees during the summer, and I still use this every day.

It is much warmer. It has a one side that is completely water and wind proof, so it holds a lot more heat. Its also a lot smaller.

We have had this tarp for a little over a year and it has done well so far. It is not uncommon, in our area, for the summer temperatures to reach beyond 100 degrees F for several days in a row. So far, so good - good luck.

Can't say. I have dry heat and when I put it on Cool Mode, we are more comfortable.

Hi Matt,I am in Concord Calif. and have heat in the triple digits several times in the summer, and the two I have up remain fairly comfortable. You have a drier heat and I would guess you should visit a store that sells them near you, and ask them to get a response from anyone who has purchased one in your area.

These tents are not designed for cold weather. They're designed for hot weather. Two of the four walls are mostly open mesh, so there is constant airflow into the tent. You cannot seal this tent up tight to keep the breeze / wind out. It will flow right in, and this tent will not retain heat inside. If it's 30 degrees outside, it'll be 30 inside. If you want a tent with better cold weather performance, look for one that has solid walls and is more airtight. Those tents will retain some heat inside on a cold night, though they still won't be exactly warm. In the case of this tent, the real question may be, can you handle 30 degree temperatures?

I keep it out completely exposed all summer and it's fine. I expected it to break after the first season because of the low price compared to the others. However this will be my 3 rd summer coming up and no issues. Enjoy! Wow I must saw the other answer and all I can say is I guess I was lucky. No negative comments here. FYI I live in the northeast so summers are 90-100 on certain days and it keeps cool.

Best hat I have ever had. As far as the mesh part goes, it is a very fine mesh located just below the flat top. I have never noticed any problem and I have worn it in the Caribbean and in Hawaii with no problems. The mesh band is only 3/4" wide and because of the tightness of the mesh I cannot imagine that much sun gets through - probably more light than actual sun rays. With the brim unsnapped, there is more than ample shading from the sun on all sides of the head. I have never noticed my head getting hot when wearing this hat. Hope this helps!
