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...

Mine so far is great! The fabric is starting to fade a bit. I think that if I bagged it instead of leaving it out it would have faired better, but as far as returning it the shipping would be more than I paid. So when mine rips I will just buy a new one.

I hope it's not real sheep skin. It's soft but too hot for summer. It didn't do anything to stop the seat belt from choaking me. I can't remember on end this.

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 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)

I found it somewhat challenging to breathe...it got hot and dampish, but still blocked the dust, which means it worked. Not amazing, but beats breathing dust. Hope that helps. I don't wear it for long consecutive periods of time.

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.

I only wore mine once cuz it wasn't warm enough. maybe you should contact the seller.

You will not feel a direct breeze through this material, but you will not feel like it is suffocating either. You can slightly see through the material. We use it on the top of our chicken run to block the hot southern sun and we also use it on top and behind our yard swing. It gives us breathable shade.

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.

Not that I've noticed, but it's been winter here. It has been very comfortable for me and my hubby. I have been sleeping VERY COZY. I just love this mattress. They say it has a bamboo cover that is supposed to help it breathe. Maybe that helps?

I haven't worn mine in the summer, but I think it would definitely be too hot. It's not like a regular underarmour shirt, it has a little extra insulation to keep you warm. If you're looking for a longsleeved workout shirt, I think Underarmour makes HeatGear that is specifically designed to be worn in warm weather.

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!)

It's 2 layers of fairly heavy canvas. However, the baby isn't wrapped up in the fabric, and there's plenty of room for air flow to keep the baby cool. You may have sweat on your back in summer, but nobody said parenting was glamourous ;)

I had a super puffy goose down mattress cover on mine and I did not overheat. (But I did return it because it was so hard.)

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.

The material is thick and not very breathable. I would not recomend on hot climates, as baby is close to skin and your own body temp might make it too hot.
