I know the material is "croc-like" material. Does it get unbearably hot if it sits in the sun for a bit?

I have the silver one and I've never noticed it to get very hot. Not sure about the black one.

It is after all plastic which is susceptible to the hot sun. But it hasn't been a problem so far this past summer, but as in my review, I placed it on a adequate foundation.

no-it is very comfortable, although I have not used it in direct sunlight. I do use it in 90 degree weather in the shade and it is very comfortable.

I found the material to be quite breathable. I wore it all the time in Hawaii and I did not find it too hot because it was breathable. I hope this helps. Have a great motorcycle adventure!

On a very sunny day it will get pretty hot, but any metal would. It seems to remain cooler than some metals do, to me.

I wouldn't think so. No hotter than any seat would get in direct sun. We love ours - it's is very handy with our grandkids.

Not really. We live up north and over the summer my daughter would get very hot and sweaty. It's great from the sun but keeps it warm under it

I do not have the bench sitting in the sun, as a general rule,. In the South, we tend to prefer to sit in the shade. So, I had to check it out. I have had the bench in the sun for several hours and do not detect any increase in temperature. I have been well pleased with this bench, with the exception of an orange-ish substance that tends to look somewhat like rust in places but wipes off. It tends to be at the joints and around the screws. I don't know. We'll have to wait and see. It may be some type of substance used to protect the metal. For products made outside the country, it's hard to guess. Otherwise, very happy. I do not have the bench sitting in the sun, as a general rule,. In the South, we tend to prefer to sit in the shade.

I have not had any issues with the fabric getting hot, and I live in south Texas where summer days are frequently 100F +.

Yes it does get to hot to use when sitting directly in the hot summer sun. Ours is in the direct sun but I personally don't like sitting out in the hot sun. I prefer sitting on the bench when the sun goes down. We wanted a bench that did not require maintenance and so far this bench has proven to be just that. We have been pleased with this bench.

I don't think it overly traps heat, I don't think it has a cool gel. In the summer will be the true test

yes! Its very cool and light to wear since its made with very thin material. Plus the fan doesn't let it heat up (if you live on a tropical island like me this would be an issue).

We've had ours since spring and sits directly in the Colorado sun for more than 1/2 day. Have not noticed any fading, cracking, etc. Looks great.

We have had no issue with the material being too warm and we live in Florida. It gets quite hot here and as long as we have had the hammock we have never felt that it was too hot. With our weather we always bring the hammock in before we go to sleep. It still looks and feels brand new.

I am saying yes because it is made of material. What I did is I purchased a very large canvas cover for covering a stack of chairs, it covers the entire chair. I leave the cover on all the time, because the chair is on my balcony all summer long. When it rains I do not need to worry the chair is protected. I am still able to sit and rock. In the fall I take the cover off, fold up the cover, fold up the chair, store them in doors. I have done this for at least 3 yrs. No problem. Works great. I think the trick is to get canvas it is heaver. Bought mine at a Big Lots. Hope this helps answer your question. I am saying yes because it is made of material.
