Is this a lightweight shirt for a hot summer or a bit heavier?

I've used these shirts for years as my primary top for desert river trips. It is not the coolest shirt on the market, but close. It dries very fast and provides decent sun protection.

It is a nice light weight, doesn't feel heavy, for summer may want sleeveless, but I give it a big thumbs up!

Bought this for my wife, so I asked her what she thought. She said "Both. It's a great hot-weather shirt because it's light and breathable, but I have also worn it in cooler weather over a tee-shirt, and it provides just enough extra warmth on those cool mornings." She loves the shirt, which I bought her because we were going hiking, and I so liked the men's version of the shirt, which I have worn for several years. Hope that helps.

Light as air, and provides air circulation and SHADE on a hot summer day... I LOVE THIS SHIRT!

Very lightweight& practical.Quick dry after laundering it, no ironing needed, perfect for summer.

I live in Florida and bought the shirts to serve as sunscreen any time of the year but they are pretty lightweight and breathable so they don't really keep you very warm on a cool day. They're made to wear in warmer weather and, like I said, they let air flow pretty well and still provide a UPF of 50... I guess the answer is... it's for a hot summer... and they do have nifty tabs so you can roll up and make short sleeves... I love the two shirts I got and the colors are very vibrant. Happy shopping!

It is nice for both summer and winter, but I like it warmer in summer and I use a blanket over it in winter. Not heavy though.

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

I only wore it around the pool in Palm Springs. It's not form fitting, at least the size I got for myself but I don't like them to fit that way...but no issues with the shirt getting hot.Hope that helps. Ps. lots of compliments on the "look" of the shirt.

yes! Its very cool and light to wear since its made with very thin material. Plus the fan doesn't let it heat up (if you live on a tropical island like me this would be an issue).

Short answer: no. Long answer, I have only had it for a few weeks or so now and Summer is just starting. While I don't think it's "heavy," it's far too warm for Summer. That being said, I've been using it half covered up/partially covered up with the windows open (no air con) and it's really comfy to roll around with, but you'll wake up sweating if you're fully covered. Hope that helps.

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.

it's good for summer. i just removed the down comforter i have under it in the winter. i do sleep with a fan on, but this is a nice light-weight quilt.

It is "ultra-light", and is very breathable as well. I have not yet washed mine to comment on its durability.

hi, not quite sure how to answer heavy. but it certainly is hot. i sleep with a cotton sheet and this comforter during summer and i end up kicking it off. it's plenty warm during winter as well. even then, i sleep with just a sheet and the comforter.

I would consider this being a medium weight. It's not super heavy but it's lightweight either.

This is way too heavy for summer, I only wear mine at anythin under 50F or 10C

Light cotton. It makes a great summer bedspread. Looks attractive and is light weight.

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.

This shirt is light weight, it will definitely keep you warm and dry. I work outside in all weather conditions at a golf course and this is my third shirt of this type.

It's fairly lightweight. We'll be sticking it in our luggage on our next trip.

The material is lightweight, so it shouldn't be too bad in hot temperatures. However it doesn't breathe well like cotton fabric, so it could get sweaty.
