What type of fabric-I need a sling for hot weather use
526175
It's a light weight flees that's lined in a cotton fabric. I live in southeast Louisiana where it's hot and humid in summer. I have had the sling only since early February therefore have not used it yet in hot weather, however I think that it depends on how hot it is and how long your puppy's in it. I don't think I'll hesitate to use in summer. Hope this helps.

see my review. I bought this one too---http://amzn.com/B00EYZJXDW and it's important w/ Poms. The strap is HORRIBLE. Be prepared to deal w/ that (pad it, replace it, whatever) but if your dog likes the feel of a sling (mine does)- this is a good summer sling. It does sit low. I am 5'8"- I adjusted it all the way tight and it sits at waist. I'm probably going to shorten it and pad it. I love the pink one but it's too heavy for summer.

I think this might be a felting machine, like Simplicity's deluxe felting machine, so you could probably use any fabric that would be suitable for needle felting (fleece, felt, bulky knits, etc.).

I haven't had any problems with the fabric in hot weather. It does not retain the heat.

They make a rectangular version that would serve your purpose better than the triangular party sail. I will need to purchase a rectangular version as well since the triangle didn't effectively block low afternoon sun. However whatever version u choose will certainly be more attractive than a tarp and will also allow air to flow through. Use snap locks to attach to dog run.

I think cotton sateen. It is very lightweight which is perfect for Texas. Plus, I hate feeling weighted down by a heavy duvet. However, it might not be good for a cooler climate.

Check out the website at hammockforum.net and you find will much information on the above. I use a Neoair mat with a down sleeping blanket over me. For colder weather, the use of a down underquilt is helpful.

Can't help you with hot weather, we use ours on a large outside bird run. We cover it in the winter with the sheeting--in Utah were it gets really cold and the wind blows.

Hello, I am sorry but Black Diamond does not make black slings. We have a forest green, grey, or navy blue. Those are the darkest colors made. -Bennett OMC Customer Service

I would think that a sheet would be a better option of the two (maybe a tarp). It held up to some stiff gulf breezes this past may. I was very pleased with the value and ease of setup and takedown.

Is he a hot baby? If it's a temp issue I'd say get a gauze ring sling. If he's older a light weight mei tai. I absolutely love this for longer excursions like walking around theme park or city. It's the best carrier for.extended length of time in my opinion.

I have the blue version of this this and it is all cloth (polyester). 3M tape or the Command telco strips should work great! Good Luck!!

The seating portion is a canvas material. Very durable. The part that wraps around the bottom and seat back is a spandex material. The material isn't absorbent like a terry cloth but can certainly get wet. It dries quickly though. I had these on my jeep.

I dont know your weather but if it was where i am from I would consider a water heater wrap then the heavy duty tarp to keep it dry (or trash bag). I would also secure the top and bottom by drilling holes and use a nuts and bolts. Just an idea.

The material is thick and not very breathable. I would not recomend on hot climates, as baby is close to skin and your own body temp might make it too hot.

If you don't care about how it looks, wearing as a sling is actually a pretty good idea. Just make sure it won't be too tight.

Not Bad at all!! You can use a couple of products from Turtle wax or leather conditioner from Mother brand and that should help it in protecting it from hot sunny weather up to rain.

The fabric is knit cotton. There is no spandex or stretchy material as that would compromise the safety of the wrap. It keeps shape really well, but if you machine wash make sure you air dry as it will shrink!
