Warm as or warmer than a GI poncho liner?

It is much warmer. It has a one side that is completely water and wind proof, so it holds a lot more heat. Its also a lot smaller.

I find the cotton does get a little warm for me but my 7 month old doesn't overheat. He never feels very warm to me when we get out of it. There is no replacing the softness or comfort of this carrier in cotton. It is cotton after all...a bit breathable & sweat dries. I am willing to suffer the warmth to have the comfort. I tried the mesh one in a big box baby store & it was much more breathable but a little more restrictive & uncomfortable than the cotton one. I wore the mesh test model around the store for comparison & I was still a little warm in it.

There is supposed to be a liner to help keep it warm. It is removable so during the warmer months it will help keep air flow going through the jacket.

It is mainly body heat that warms you up, but I have both this one and the mesh one, and the zip down panel does make a difference. I'd say which to get depends on where you live... it has to be pretty hot (like, over 85*, for me at least) before the mesh helps much... and the cotton is softer and generally more comfortable (though not by a large margin). So if its hot a lot where you live, go mesh. If heat isn't an all-the-time issue, go cotton

No. You would want to look for Heat Gear items (designed to keep you cool on the heat). This is a Cold Gear item (designed to keep you warm in the cold).

It doesn't and never has. It's always just been a lightweight, warm comforter that we can scrunch down into our pack. The corner ties can secure the liner to the grommets of the poncho to make a sleeping bag. I suppose, though, the name is deceptive (Liner, Wet Weather, Poncho -- the Army's distinctive way of putting all of the adjectives after the noun ...). Not the first time nor the last for GI gear, I suppose.

In short, I would say it will be too warm. However, because it takes up so little space and is a quality sleeping bag, take it anyway. For warmer nights bring a thin blanket and use the sleeping bag as a mattress.

I think the cotton canvas would be better?! But it is really about preference. I prefer the cotton canvas because the sling stays beneath me at night and the cotton canvas doesn't make me sweat.

it is a dry fit but I would go with a different style from coldpruf. Their extreme style is much warmer and can go into the washer and dryer at medium heat with no problems or melting issues.

I have two, one a light weight cotton and another a heavier fleece. I go back and forth between them depending on the temp and type of pjs he's wearing underneath.

I think it gets warmer and was a better price. I wear mine overnight and can tell my waist is firmer in the morning.

I find it as warm as a medium fill down parka, but not quite as warm as a really high fill sub arctic rated down parka. It serves me well pn MOST winter days, all but the most frigid (below zero )

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...

Not really considered heatgear. They are pretty warm. Don't do much in the line of wicking. They do stay up over the calf. Enough positives that I would buy again

Yes, they should come with light wool liners which work quite well. IF you get below zero though, and need more warmth, look at the Fox River's Double Ragg mittens [Amazon]. They slide right into these and are awesome for warmth.
