Is this breathable (like goretex)?

It is not breathable. I don't know if I ever heard of a breathable dry suit. Did not find it uncomfortable, but it has been pretty cold air temp when I wore it (sailed small boat Thanksgiving day, 26 degrees.

Hmm, I know it has kept me plenty dry, warm, and not sweaty and I have given it plenty of action, including violent swims. The neck gasket does leak a tiny bit, which happened a couple of weeks ago at Kilchis River on the SHORE when I got wave after wave of heavy rain dumped on me for a good half hour. Get one of those LL Bean fleece fishing jumpsuits for $50-60 to wear under it, and a sweatshirt to wear between it and the drysuit if it's cold outside, and you will be fine.

Noticed ad says breathable. Maybe I am mistaken. It is comfortable, like the neoprene collar versus rubber around neck.

No - it's a "dry" suit - solid. Wet suits "breathe" as they allow water to pass through. I wear sweats when wearing dry suits to keep suit from sticking to me and provide a layer of insulation. I only use it in cold weather, so really no sweating going on for me.

It is light nylon and not too breathable but the panels have openings that can let as much air as you like in. There are Velcro strips at the seams that you can leave closed or open

I never thought about it, I don't really consider them breathable when you have it over a tshirt, sorry

Not sure, but I couldn't wear it as if I remember correctly it didn't feel breathable and it may have shrunk.

The blankets are medium weight. I have used mine at night only a few times. I do think the fabric is breathable.

I use it in the winter, so breathability has not been an issue for me.. It is very well-made. I trim off excess straps, but other than that I have been very pleased with it

They are breathable, because they are 100% cotton, but they are super thick so they will be on the warmer side

It's pretty breathable but still may fog up your goggles. If I'm going pretty fast then it won't fog up but at stand still it does sometimes. You may want to go with one the has a completely open nose.

I walk a lot, and they were still comfortable as far as heat was concerned. But I don't really know if these are considered breathable.

I could not find any reference to tyvek being different on one side vs another. Actually, I an not aware that Goretex is differently sided. It seems like on both, the fact that water VAPOR can go thru, but not WATER, is related to droplet size. They will let thru the tiny "drops" of vapor, but not the much larger actual water drops. At least, not without a lot of pressure. That's why Goretex lets your skin breathe, but keeps rainfall from penetrating... Hope that helps!

Yes, it's pretty breathable. The terry cloth top creates some separation between the sheet and the cover. It's not like a sheet over a crib mattress.

I believe it is a combination of cotton and other non-porous materials. The one I have is quite comfortable and breathable.

Jodi, Thank you for your inquiry and great question. The Back pocket is not of mesh material but of a lightweight nylon. This will restrict airflow slightly, but will not be bad unless it is very hot outside. This is one of the lightest weight vests on the market for this reason. If I can be of any assistance, please let me know. Our number is 937-434-8472. Thanks Jodi, Have a great day. -Parker

I only wear it when it's really cold, cause I'm the same way. It does seem "breathable" though. We had a really cold snowy winter last year and I wore it sleigh riding a few times, and I sweat even when it's freezing out. I really do like the coat a lot.

Not particularly. All contact points are cloth or plastic and the fabric is breathable. We have had no problems.

I was wondering if it was breathable bc I was looking to put it over my waterproof mattress. We sweat with only the waterproof one so I was looking for a cotton breathable barrier. I realize this is not an answer to her question but I wondered if the person who mentioned they used it over their vinyl one had any comments.
