Live in Arizona so summer comfort is an issue. Does the material "breathe" so one doesn't have to deal with a sweaty back?

Yes it will breathe. However I find it difficult to keep on. The seat is separate from the back. The seat attaches like a belt through the back of the seat, under and attaching again in the front. Lot of adjusting. Mine keep unbuckling.

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.

Hi Matt, I am in Concord Calif. and have heat in the triple digits several times in the summer, and the two I have up remain fairly comfortable. You have a drier heat and I would guess you should visit a store that sells them near you, and ask them to get a response from anyone who has purchased one in your area.

Yes, but our guy sweats a lot from just being a pretty active/jumping baby ... fyi, we live in San Francisco, so not sure what we'd do with him in Phoenix. It's usually just his head that comes away sweaty in the back. Not a big deal so far. The seat is solid and relatively easy to use (we have it rear-facing and it takes a little maneuvering to get him into the seat while also not bonking his head on the top of our Jeep Grand Cherokee - I think this will get harder for a little while, and then easier when we turn it around and he can climb into it himself).

We use this duvet in Yuma, AZ. and love it. Don't live here in the summer though.

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.

If it's hot, the contact with your body is what makes the little one sweat. The cotton never felt uncomfortably warm. We were just at the beach and my LO napped in it while i went for a walk.

I don't hike or backpack because of back problems so I can't speak to that. I bought it for summer wear only. Walking my dogs in the field when the temps are in the 80s and 90s, it is very light and comfortable. I don't think it would provide warmth in cold weather. I love it's lightness and would own more colors if I could get the size I want. I bought a size that is very large on me with the idea of using it as a beach cover-up.

Because it is self inflating, it creates about an inch of dead air space between you and whatever you're sitting upon....so yes besides comfort, it keeps your butt dry and warmer than if on bare ground/rock.

I have had this for over ten months (through the hot summer months) and have had no issues with heat over a memory foam mattress. I didn't get sweaty, so I can't answer for someone who has night sweats.

No, it is super comfy but a little cumbersome - my husband does not particularly care for it in the camping gear as it takes up too much space. Does not breath well so hot in the summer but comfy and warm in cooler weather. Easy to wipe with a damp cloth - does not show stains easily

I personally have not slept on it for a full night but my children do not seem to have a problem with it being hot or sweaty. The material that it is covered in is like a nylon mesh but softer (if that makes sense). It is extremely comfortable, my husband and I are thinking of getting one in a larger size. I hope that helps!

No, it's not a cooling mattress protector, but the waterproof backing doesn't make one's back feel hot and sweaty like some rubber-backed or plastic-backed materials do.

Yes. We live in Texas so it can get really hot in the summer. My brother in law loves his vest.

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.

Here in Phoenix, everything get too hot in the sun. Our patio bench sits on a covered patio, but is exposed to the morning sun. If it was going to be exposed to extended lengths of time in the sun, I would recommend getting a seat cushion for it. We use ours more for storage than seating.
