A few reviewers have noted poor breathability. I am looking for a hot weather rain jacket. Anyone with experience in warm environments? Thank you!

You can not all ways get what you wait, keeping dry or breathability it just does not work together. They mite say so but that is life.This is a very light jacket that will keep you dry there are side zipper to open up as well.

Nice jacket that I use under very cold temp. (-20oC) for running with 3 underlayers. It stops wind but I found that it does not breath. As I sweat (even at -20oC) the water stays inside the jacket. I would not recommend it for running although it does the job. A more 'technical' fabric would be more appropriate.

I think the pant not suitable for a very hot climate (hot and humid) place.It's medium thickness,not very light weight,but good bresthable.

I spent 1.5 hours in downpour and hail and stayed dry. It doesn't breathe real well nor is it insulated but it kept me very dry. Also worked as a simple windbreaker

@HellCat, I'm not sure how comfortable you would be on a 300 plus mile ride because these are extremely form-fitting and fairly tight. I have one in black and it works great when I'm in the water but for hiking or other outdoor activities I would get a lighter color and possible size up so you have more "breathing" room. The sun protection is great, I'm very fair and haven't had a problem in that area. It's great for camping, swimming, diving, keeping bugs at bay but mine does retain some heat. These also dry fairly quick and are easy to clean. Hope this helps, have fun on your ride.

they do dry quickly, they also tend to be hydraphobic so like spills will run off them, I find them breathable more so than other shorts, and here in the south they are certainly my go to wear

I didn't have any problem with that-I used it Mongolia though, and it was not in a hot & humid environment. There is still plenty of airflow through it in spite of the pocket (which was where I had my rain gear-was riding on horses)

Hi Matt,I am in Concord Calif. and have heat in the triple digits several times in the summer, and the two I have up remain fairly comfortable. You have a drier heat and I would guess you should visit a store that sells them near you, and ask them to get a response from anyone who has purchased one in your area.

Yeah it would be way to hot I sweat to death in about 60 degree weather running around with it on, get under armour heat gear base layer or nike pro combat

If it is cold I would buy XXL so you can layer. The trousers are designed for the US cruiser rider and there is fabric on the inside of the shins. Rain will get into your lower legs and run into your boots on a long ride. I suppose that is better than burnt plastic. In warm weather the gear is very hot but I only wear it on short rides.

I was camping last month. Lows down into the low 30s. Had the vents and fly shut down tight and was very warm. I haven't been in the tent during a wind storm yet but have had 3/4 inch of rain in an hour and not a drop got in. I love this tent.

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

I got too warm! Very comfy and no aches this morning, but took awhile to adjust to the feel. I had to keep my feet uncovered part of the night and felt too warm if in one position too long. It was 47* outside last night and I had windows open. I'll keep trying...

I returned the coat, but my impression was that it would work well for temperatures in the 40s and 50s, possibly similar to a good sweater, but light and silky. I have a light down jacket from Costo (Calvin Klein). It is good in these temps, as well as indoors when it is too cold. I have a thicker, Patagonia street jacket which I think is more comfortable when you are getting down around freezing or below. I love the Calvin Klein for our north coast of California temperatures, but it is not as good a quality jacket, so I am speculating. The Marmot might be warmer. If I were to reorder it, and wanted it for cold temps, I would get it bigger and layer it.

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.

No, it's quite lightweight. I don't think you will find anything lighter. It could get a bit humid, but not anymore than other rain jackets.

I don't know if it will be too hot or not. I took this backpacking with me in Whittier AK in mid March and it worked perfectly. WHen it rains the water doesn't seep through and even at 15-20 degrees it retains some heat. Without the outer shell it's plenty airy. IMO this is perfect for backpacking. Easy to set up, light and compact and all around badass.
