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...

It is porous. Air is able to move through the fabric. It was beautiful new. However, my personal experience in north florida, on the georgia line, it lasted less than one summer. For whatever reason the fabric completely disintegrated!!! COMPLETELY , to nothing. No idea what happened. Full sun midday and shade late in the day. But to further answer your question. No. This is not water proof.

It's pretty warm without being too hot. She slept in it all summer with a onesie on. As it's gotten cooler out, we actually dress our little girl in normal PJ's with feet. She doesn't get overheated. She typically sleeps 10 hours at night now and takes a two hour nap during the day. We have two suits now... one for home and one for daycare. It's the best $40 we've spent so far on baby stuff! Definitely worth a shot!

I personally have not slept on it for a full night but my children do not seem to have a problem with it being hot or sweaty. The material that it is covered in is like a nylon mesh but softer (if that makes sense). It is extremely comfortable, my husband and I are thinking of getting one in a larger size. I hope that helps!

No idea. The material seems breathable (what?), but I've just bought it recently.

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!!

It's heavy. The temperatures don't seem to affect the mattress so far. I live in the deep South and it's getting warm but the mattress doesn't seem to be hotter. This is my first hot season with it, tho

Well I live in Seattle, so the temp hasn't gotten too high here- 60s- but we haven't had any problems with overheating. I probably wouldn't use it during the summertime unless you have air conditioning going- I keep their rooms between 68-70 and they're fine. I just put him in light cotton pjs-(carters 2piece pjs) and socks. I have noticed that the polyester type 2piece pjs seem to keep him on the warmer side, so intend not to put socks with those or only use those on colder nights. As it gets warmer I'll use it with just at shirt or onesie underneath. But once summer hits, I either switch to the thin cotton sleep sack or just put them to bed in their pjs. So it probably depends how hot it is where you live and how warm you keep your house but my son doesn't get overheated if his room is kept between that 65-70 mark. Hope that's helpful :)

It's a fleece like material so it may be hot. I've used it in the snow, it didn't become soaked, but it certainly didn't repeal it either.

I found it somewhat challenging to breathe...it got hot and dampish, but still blocked the dust, which means it worked. Not amazing, but beats breathing dust. Hope that helps. I don't wear it for long consecutive periods of time.

Having never sat in it personally, I can't say whether or not it's comfortable, but my kids don't seem to mind it at all. We have two different patterns of this car seat, and both appear to be the same fabric type. We live in a very hot and humid climate, and I was concerned they would heat up, but so far we haven't had any problems that way. The fabric is smooth and they seem to like it. Even on the hottest days their legs don't seem to stick or anything.

I was worried about the fleece as well. We had her in the sleep suit from March through the beginning of July in Northeast Pa, we had the A/C and an overhead fan to keep the cool air down as well in her room starting in late May. I probably wouldn't recommend it without a fan or something to move the air around.

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.

I have this tent and I have used it in the heat of a muggy FL summer. It does breath but not like having a non-canvas tent (I also have the Big House from Big Agnes). But if it's raining this tent is much more breathable than the other tents that have to have rain fly's on. it's really a trade off. I use this tent every single time I go camping if it's 90 degrees or 20 degrees. It's a great tent that is built like a tank and will last a lifetime. My advice... buy the tent and get a box fan to put in it during the summer.

I only wore mine once cuz it wasn't warm enough. maybe you should contact the seller.

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

Yes, though it did not breath well, so there was sweating involved. May have been just me though, I run warmer than most. You may not have any problem at all.
