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 is warm, but in between cotton and down. It breathes quite well, which is why it regulates temperature so well. They are thin, but heavy in weight. I like something a little heavier laying on me, so I know it's there, but I also don't like to be hot. I've had three of these over the last 20 years - they are great.

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

That hasn't been an issue for me. The fabric seems fairly breathable and absorptive, but I guess if you are prone to sweating it could exacerbate that by trapping heat. I think that would be an issue with any cervical collar, however, and I don't see any reason why this one would be especially sweat-inducing.

There's a lot of fabric and it hangs nicely. I previously posted a reviewer of the danger of a child get wrapped up in it and the fear of not being able to breath. We removed it and threw it in the garbage for this reason.

I was on the road when I answered this earlier and said "no". I got home and put water on the fabric and it beaded up and rolled off. I have only worn it as an undergarment but would not want to get it wet while it is warming you so my answer no is I am not sure.

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.

No this is more of a quilt. it is not too hot. No stickiness of any kind. Not really microfiber at all. Could be thin on a really cool night of 25 or below. I Ann a hot sleeper and I have no issues.

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!!

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.

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

I didn't think about that with the fabric, as my child is a sweaty beast under normal circumstances. She does get very sweaty in this seat after not very long.

If it's hot, the contact with your body is what makes the little one sweat. The cotton never felt uncomfortably warm. We were just at the beach and my LO napped in it while i went for a walk.

Lori, I really don't know exactly what the material is; however I have never found it non breathable and a cause of sweating.

yes, the material don't breath. It is hot to sit in expecially in summer. I think the big disadvantage is the belt is too short to match the body of my 19 months old son.
