I want to be able to wear this hiking in the summer, how is the leather with heavy sweating?

I had no problems wearing this holster and where I live it was a hot and humid summer. Keep in mind you should wear the holster everyday for a week or two when it is new (with or without a gun) and It will conform to your body. The leather is pretty comfortable and softens up after you break it in. I purchased the natural tan color for fear the dyed black color may bleed from sweating but I don't know if it would have. Hope this helps.

With this type of holster you'll probably notice the sweat. However, he does offer horsehide for this holster on his website. From what I understand horsehide is better with sweat.

Hi Jim, I own the bag and I can attest to it's comfort. The bag has padding around the majority of the strap and it sits nicely one shoulder and through the chest area. I have uploaded pictures of me wearing the product to help you get a better idea of what it looks like. They are located in the customer uploaded photos section of the review but I have also put the photos up on my Flickr account (TarahS16). I am happy with the bag, I wore it all day at an outdoor art festival and I didn't get sore or have any tender spots when I got home that night. This bag is also the perfect size for a woman because its not too big. It won't overpower a small frame. Hi Jim, I own the bag and I can attest to it's comfort.

The silver ridge had some room in the thighs. They were my favorites in terms of comfort. For style I prefer the saturday stretch convertible pants, but those are tight around the zipper. It's not bad when walking, but gets uncomfortable when sitting.

Apart from them being a little heavy the boots are great and I also have a wide foot and I love them (only thing is I live in SoCal and usually it's no comfortable to wear the boots all day because my feet get to hot so if that's the case they may work well for you if you're in the area that is usually prone to cold-weather)

Depends on boots, if good boots and enough room a thinner inner pair covered by hiking socks will keep your feet warmer

I'm a Scoutmaster for a Troop in California. This bag is awesome, I've used it down to 19 degrees at night in the upper desert. I though I would be cold, but no way. Just remember to wear something on your head and clean wool socks and your good to go....

Tina, I bought this for my wife and she loves it. My wife is very picky so I too was concerned before I ordered it. The material is all leather and holding up very well. I decided to go with this more expensive one compared to others and I think the few extra bucks was well worth it. Good luck.

I recommend elastic extenders for comfort reasons. The leather only "bends" so much and depending on where you carry your 52" it might dig in. Don't make any of it permanent because it could be very adjustable for different clothing requirements, as intended from Galco.

No it's nice and I use it for hiking to keep some of the heat in, but know if you hit your head it will feel almost the same

This is off point, but I will say it's a great river bag. Tie a strap to it and dunk it in the river periodically, and it'll keep the water cool even on a desert river trip. It's almost like one of those old evaporative canteens.Hiking, though, and sitting in the sun, it's going to get warm.

Wrong person to ask, I wear it for hiking and dog walking..............sorry

The leather is soft and really nice. I have this halter for about a year and a half and all the metal parts are ok, and I live in Dominican Republic, so the climat is really humid, but this item is good quality, I like it really much and you have to know that I bought a big size and it's really big, so I had to make more holes, but now it fits perfectly ;)

I personally love this jacket. It is heavy but you can take the liner out very easily for the days its not too bad. The more you wear it the more comfortable it gets. The jacket is comfortable but heavy.

More lightweight. I am hot sweaty hiker so I would easily wear in 40s 50s. Not sure about 60s hiking. I commonly wear it over a wicking t shirt on cool mornings on the way to school from mid 30s to 60s. I will say I feel it is way more flexible temperature wise than similar weight polyester wicking shirt. I love it and have placed 2 more colors on my Amazon wish list. I hope this helps. Karl.

its tough leather, not soft copied leather, the padding in the shoulders, back and elbows are sufficent,feels like a legit solid leather jacket to me

I bought them for hiking and paragliding in summer. Feel a bit light for colder temperatures, but very tough fabric. Maybe with respective long underwear and depending on circumstances (wind chill, still air, humidity etc.) you could use them in freezing conditions. My 2 cents :-)

Yes to all. The top as a zipper, and it seems very watertight/proof in my usage so far, including durign some heavy rain. The leather temporarily absorbs some moisture on the outside (looking even more black) but dries very nicely. BTW I thoroughly conditioned the leather with Leathery Honey before using it - maybe that helped.
