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.

Hmm, I know it has kept me plenty dry, warm, and not sweaty and I have given it plenty of action, including violent swims. The neck gasket does leak a tiny bit, which happened a couple of weeks ago at Kilchis River on the SHORE when I got wave after wave of heavy rain dumped on me for a good half hour. Get one of those LL Bean fleece fishing jumpsuits for $50-60 to wear under it, and a sweatshirt to wear between it and the drysuit if it's cold outside, and you will be fine.

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.

I only used it in semi warm weather, but not really. I mean I'm sure it's better than a cotton type fabric but I was sweating pretty good. I was In the sun so perhaps the black color is why.

I found the material to be quite breathable. I wore it all the time in Hawaii and I did not find it too hot because it was breathable. I hope this helps. Have a great motorcycle adventure!

Aside from the various other quality issues with this bivy, yes, there was also a fair amount of condensation inside when I used mine. The outside temperature was in the mid to high 30's F, so a little above freezing. The condensation wasn't bad enough to drip down on me, but the inside of the bivy was definitely moist. As I indicated, there are several other quality issues with this product, so I would recommend skipping it altogether and going with something else. The clips also broke on mine the first night out. The price may seem right, but trust me, you're going to wish you bought something else.

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 wear this Jacket for running and biking. It is my go to jacket for both between 30 - 65 degrees. I wear the Pearl iZUMi Men's Select Barrier Wxb Jacket for anything colder than 30 degrees but it does not breath as well.

not sure about all these other answers, I've found it pretty useless even in not-so-warm days -- it's like being in a plastic bag, and I get condensation on the inside even with the armpit openings all the way open and in a light walk (not sweating). Pretty awful. It might be good in cold weather but it's too light weight for the cold. Not sure why they call it 'dry touch' either, and it certainly isn't 'breathable'.

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.

It works fine in the rain, It gets wet, but doesnt soak through very fast. I wear it pretty much from mid march to early october, . I run my Marathons in it.. You will wear it all the time once you get it. Just buy it, Nuff said.

I never even thought about how warm the Thundershirt was because it was keeping my dog calm. It's not usually hot when it rains. That's a good thing. My dog has slept in in as well. So I'm not sure that being to hot is an issue for me.

I live in a super humid environment. They work best when they're damp and have airflow over them. They're going to be sticky and as uncomfortable as any athletic clothing would be at that humidity, but your skin is still protected. If you're at that level of humidity and in the sun, it's going to suck with or without the sleeves.

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.

yes it is! I was on a trip to Greenville SC. we got stuck in the rain and none of my stuff got to wet. I also wear it around everywhere and sweat with it on. it's been really awesome! I may upgrade to one of the larger ones but this particular bad is amazing!

Good morning. I purchased the jacket for my granddaughter. She told me it was indeed warm and waterproof and she loves it. She was skeptical, as was I, at first because it is so lighweight. But all skepticism was swept aside when she wore it for the first time in cold, damp weather. She has worn it ever since in those conditions. Hope this helps.
