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...

Mainly camp in wooded areas, so I can't really speak to how hot it gets in direct sun with no wind. We did put it up a few times in an open spot. I found it to be one of the best items we have bought. Sturdy and it is all mesh except for the roof. The walls are nearly perpendicular. So headspace even if it rains. But it isn't really a dark color. It's a light greenish tan. Like the definition of khaki. So I guess I have not found this to be an issue.

YES! I found it got very hot sometimes. It stays fairly warm, but I can only recall one time it was actually uncomfortable. For the most part I didn't notice.

We don't get a LOT of wind at our house. However, on the times that it has been breezy, this fabric doesn't let a lot through. If I had to guess, I's say that it only lets about 1/3 of the air-flow through. However, that's normally quite enough to keep the air fresh and allowing hot air to be pushed out. We've never found it stuffy.

I agree with the other answer. Airflow would be constricted. It's not super powerful heat. Also, I don't think that sounds very safe. It would be too easy for a fabric to fall down on it and although it is a safe heater it could still catch fire. It's meant to sit against a wall

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)

Julian, I purchased this comforter a month ago and if you are looking for something breathable this is the one to get! Not too heavy or hot at all. Very well made. You will be happy with it! Might I also suggest you look at getting bamboo sheets. After much research, we also purchased this at the same time and I could not be happier with the quality and results. The sheets feel like satin and keep us cool all night. Apparently they have a wicking property that lets heat escape. Still haven't found a pillow that actually works yet in keeping my head from getting too hot. (I've tried them all!)

I would say it is less plushie and probably good for the heat because it seems more breathable. We live in Atlanta and I don't think it will be a problem for us.

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 :)

I would say that it depends directly on ambient temperature. Here it doesn't get really hot, so for me, it's not an issue. Great product, really comfy, especially when you want to relax.

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.

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!!

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.

It is made from canvas on a stretched frame....so I don't know if it might be effected by the heat???? It is beautiful though...sorry if that doesn't give you the answer you are looking for.

It feels like a knit fabric. You could hand wash it and it shouldn't be a problem. Good luck!

Never thought much about the padding until this question. I'm saying that it feels fine. It is a heavy cloth with a little padding, but feels fine. If it were softer or "fuller" I could see it compressing over time. That might not be a good thing.
