We're concerned about the fabric not "Breathing" in borderline weather - i.e. it makes you too hot because it doesn't breathe. Any comments?

This blanket has three layers-the two outer layers are extremely thin, and the inner layer sounds like a plastic tarp or bubble wrap. I cannot imagine it breathes at all.

It's not especially breathable...but very comfy and warm, which is great in colder weather.

During seasons other than winter I like to use a light weight cotton blanket. In comparison, the Soft Heat blanket is definitely warmer, even without being turned on. And this is only natural due to the inner layer of heating wires which limits the fabric's breathability. This is a fabulous blanket, but you will find it to be warmer even when turned off.

I find that it is a warm blanket even without using the heat elements. I believe it is designed to retain that heat. I don't believe it makes you to hot, but it is a good blanket with or without the heating function...

I've heard the same thing but haven't experienced any problems yet. It's possible the material is too thick for it to be an issue.

Yes Patti, a matter of fact my husband advises not to over dress when sleeping in it as you could over heat, sweat, and then that would cause you problems later. He has even slept out on the ground with just a tarp over him to keep the snow and dew off of him and did just fine.

The fabric is comfy; the little guy didn't have any complaints. I thought it would be hot, especially summer in the South, but there were no issues of overheating. Ease of cleaning is definitely a selling point; *most* messes came off with water and a little elbow grease. Hope that helps!!

I have the organic and it isn't hot at all. I have seen the airflow and it is mostly a mesh material. If you live in a hot climate, that might work better for you. I am in CO and we have had a hot summer and the organic has been fine for us.

We haven't seen an issue with it being hot or too warm. But, remember, it's still rather chilly here in Wisconsin at night, and we find it very comfortable! I will say, seeing as I run "warm" and appreciate cooler temps, I haven't had any problem feeling too warm at night! Maybe a bit early for us to judge that until the evenings warm up.....but so far, very comfortable!

I hope it's not real sheep skin. It's soft but too hot for summer. It didn't do anything to stop the seat belt from choaking me. I can't remember on end this.

yes, the material don't breath. It is hot to sit in expecially in summer. I think the big disadvantage is the belt is too short to match the body of my 19 months old son.

I don't know about hot weather. I bought it for cold and it works out well. it does seem to be breathable if that helps.

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

I only used it in semi warm weather, but not really. I mean I'm sure it's better than a cotton type fabric but I was sweating pretty good. I was In the sun so perhaps the black color is why.

Not going to lie- it can get pretty hot. It's stretchy, soft, but thick fabric. But I think that's what makes it such great quality. I don't think it makes me more hot than other carriers (I own four), but having a warm body tied to you can be hot with any carrier. I honestly don't think a different fabric would change that, but it may change the quality of the product.

Hmm, I haven't had a problem with getting too hot while wearing it but it's also been on the colder side where I live. But I have worn it inside my house which we usually keep about 70-72degrees and I didn't get hot. Hope that helped

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!

That has not been an issue so far, and we live in the really hot desert...I do have a zip on cover over mine, followed by an old fashioned mattress cover, then the sheet. That may have been adequate to prevent over heating.

I would say that it depends directly on ambient temperature. Here it doesn't get really hot, so for me, it's not an issue. Great product, really comfy, especially when you want to relax.

The fabric is light enough to be able to breathe through it. We own it and I tested the breathability myself.
