Is the material too hot for year round use?

I would say yes to that, but I don't run the air conditioner much. The sheets are heavier than regular permanent press or cotton sheets but not has heavy as flannel sheets from say LLBean.

We do not find them too hot for year round. My husband since his open heart surgery and taking blood thinner likes the these sheets the best.

I live in Utah. These were great for our cold weather months (~Nov thru Apr). But once we hit the first day of spring, I changed them for something cooler and more "springy". I don't like to be warm at all on summer nights and I do think these would be too warm for year round use. I love these for the winter though -- each bed in our home has a set of these. And if they ever wore out, I'd be hoping they still make these so I could buy them again.

The material is awesome for all seasons..warm and cozy in winter and cool and comfy in summer. Great sheets :-)

I don't think this material would be too hot for year round use unless you live in a state that has extremely hot temperatures.

Not exactly sure what you would consider a "year round" sheet. This is a woven cotton sheet. I use these all year and I live in Wisconsin.

I have not had any problems in the hot weather with this seat. The fabric is great, and my 18 month old doesn't get very sweaty in it at all. It's sort of a mesh-type fabric, and very cushy.

I really don't know for sure we bought this a few months ago and haven't had any problems yet with it being too hot. It seems cool enough but it's still cold weather.

I think so, as long as it's not left to the elements. Not sure of your climate but I wouldn't leave it outdoors in extreme weather, like summer here in FL or winter up North.

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!

I would suggest dissembling it for winter if you aren't going to use it. It stands up well, but it doesn't hurt to keep it out of the elements when you can!

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.

I don't know how it will fair outdoors year round. I have mine in a screened in outdoor room. Just not sure how it will hold up with weather. I love it tho. I've received compliments on it.

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

Well, we were using it in the New England winter, and found it too warm as spring came. Everyone is different though so it may work for you.

I find it too hot for Summer but the rest of the year it's delicious. Not as physically heavy as some comforters but a great stand-alone for cooler weather. In the coldest of winter I use the comforter with two thin blankets underneath and it's quite toasty.

Definitely! Plus, I noticed when paired with a wool mattress it never gets too hot even in summer.

Here in Houston, TX it's very muggy throughout the summer, and the high humidity persists pretty much year-round. So far we've seen no condensation on the inside, and the material is pretty stout. I'd think if you move it around from place to place, damage will occur from abrasion, but if it just sits there it seems to hold up fine.

If anything, I find it to be a bit too hot, due to safety regulations on how low you can run it without risk of the flame going out (which would be very bad with smoldering wood in there). I wrap mine completely in aluminum insulation (http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BPAULS/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc;=1), which helps keep the sun from causing it to spike in the summer, and helps maintain in winter. I also drilled a two inch hole in the top and put sheet metal in it, basically making a chimney.

I use it year round and have no issues - and I live in Colorado where the temperatures vary drastically.

It doesn't get very hot below, I've used it outdoors over a wood-chip path before with no concern. I'd be wary of plastic, but probably wouldn't be a problem. Luckily, heat rises!
