is it breathable and what is the temp. range for this blanket?

I live in the Pacific Northwest... not too cold, but LOTS of rain. It is made out of water repellent canvas (not rubber)and quilted material underneath, so unlike the former respondent... I'd say, "Yes, it IS breathable", or it'd be WAY to warm to wear in our mild winters. I like this coat, and bought a second one so the first one can dry out on rainy days.

not really breathable because their waterproof. I take them off when it gets in the 20's so they don't get too warm. these are easy to put on and stay on really good. kept the horses warm and dry and we've been down to -15, had freezing rain and lots of snow. I'm very glad I got em. hope this helps. Michelle

Definitely not for a sleeping bag... I would say its good for temperatures 20's (with proper clothing) and up but its best for blocking the wind and rain. So a thick blanket underneath be perfect with Mambe over to keep heat in and stay dry too.

It must be very Breathable, as I am sensitive to anything that heats me up while sleeping, I sleep best on cool cotton sheets, and I find the Mattress Cover to fit well and not cause one to be hot and sweaty......

I think that would depend on your body heat...I'm cold all the time and its ok for me but my husband is much warmer all the time and he sometimes tosses his covers off. It is no different than any other cover we've had in that respect. The COVER is cotton but the "inside" is synthetic, so it will tend to be warmer.

It is not breathable...... it is meant to keep in your body warmth yet lose the bulkiness.

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.

It has a wide range for keep warm (all below 200 degrees). It goes a little past the 400 degree range, so I would guess 425 degrees. I love it.

I don't know the exact temp. It's not as hot as a heating blanket. It warms the surface works better with a blanket or sheet over you when laying on it to hold some heat around the body. It also turns off after a few minutes.

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.

Julian, I purchased this comforter a month ago and if you are looking for something breathable this is the one to get! Not too heavy or hot at all. Very well made. You will be happy with it! Might I also suggest you look at getting bamboo sheets. After much research, we also purchased this at the same time and I could not be happier with the quality and results. The sheets feel like satin and keep us cool all night. Apparently they have a wicking property that lets heat escape. Still haven't found a pillow that actually works yet in keeping my head from getting too hot. (I've tried them all!)

Yes it's not breathable. My baby sweats also. We try to keep him light on clothes while in seat.

The manufacturer just released a lighter-weight version, where the inner and outer layers are both cotton. I now have my son sleeping in that one, and he is able to maintain a comfy temperature. (If you go to Facebook and like their page, you can get 15% off your order! and if you buy 2, you get another 15% off). I haven't seen the lightweight one on amazon yet. I do still make sure to keep baby's room around 70 degrees at night though.

My 13 yr. old daughter runs hot at night with her fan on high but still used this blanket over her. So in not sure how to answer that. It seems like it would be similar to a soft double layer microfiber smooth cover.

Depends on where you live and whether you have A/C. I think I would find it too warm for summer, even with A/C.... If it were me, I would get one for fall/winter use, but get an all cotton blanket for late spring/summer.

It does get very warm. My boyfriend is unable to sleep with this blanket on the bed, he ends up sleeping on top of it.

NO....I am guessing it is not comfortable at minus 30 degrees. it is comfortable to high teens Fahrenheit when accompanied by light wool or flannel blanket directly against your body as insulation AND comforter or wool blanket over the top of the bag. It is a seriously comfortable, well constructed bag. Excellent value. I HIGHLY recommend it! Soon will be entering the third year of use.....estimating 300 nights of use altogether - still like brand new, fresh as a daisy. One thing to note...it is heavy in weight - you will not want to move it around much. In winter mine lives in the back of my SUV.ALL THE BEST!

Sorry for taking so long to answer this, but I really don't know. I don't know of any blanket that will keep you warm in 15 degrees, but this will do nicely for temperatures a bit warmer than that - 35 degrees?
