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.

I don't know, we live in Oklahoma where it is very hot and humid in the summer and my husband prefers his when out working a lot. He had owned one previously and lost it and really wanted another. I got two, and he once again is wearing his all the time.

I spent 1.5 hours in downpour and hail and stayed dry. It doesn't breathe real well nor is it insulated but it kept me very dry. Also worked as a simple windbreaker

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.

honestly, ive never thought about the breathability if the fabric, but we use it all the time in the heat and my kid never turns into a total sweatbag. hope that helps!

I think that depends on you. I only wear mine when it is below 40 degrees and after long runs for recovery. Other than that I run in shorts. If you are wearing them for the compression aspects, I would say it would depend on how you feel in a humid and hot climate like Miami.

These pants are NOT good in warm weather ! They are good for wet !!!Not many brands of pants are really waterproof , these are...You need to buy different pants just for hot weather .

I think it is good quality and it's heavier than most lightweight jackets or ponchos. It is not lined, just the shell and I think I was picturing it as more of a coat type rather than just a rain jacket...duh, we purchased a rain suit...haha. But my husband loves it and he thinks it's better than he imagined and exactly what he was looking for. I feel it could tear if you snagged it, but not likely from just putting it on and functioning in the suit doing normal things.

I was wondering the same thing. I live in the jungle, where normal inside temp is around 85-90. Would that be considered a "cool, dry place"?

I have. The other day it was 92 in the valley out here in so cal and I wore this helmet. It felt slightly warmer but I think my biggest issue was when my head got itchy there were no vents to scratch. They do have a new helmet coming out in the fall called the Giro synthe. It's a semi Aero hybrid between the air attack and aeon. It offers ventilation and an aero feel with a less comical look. I would hold off to get that helmet (and am going to add that to my repertoire when it's released).

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.

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.

Ah, I honestly don't know! I live in Las Vegas so I unfortunately don't get to wear enough. I bought it for my trip to Ireland which I took in march and it withstood the weather fantastically! At first I would wear xtra layers underneath but quickly found out it wasn't necessary! It would get hot quick! But it's a fantastic fantastic jacket that I wish I could wear more often! Hope this helps!

This is a good warm weather jacket for biking or hiking. In cold New Orleans weather it is a good wind breaker. Its main function for us is as a raincoat. It is a good raincoat or a good second layer for bikiing when the temp is in the 50s. It does not provide any real winter warmth. I have lived in Maine. This would be a summer coat.

I used it in the rain without the rain fly with no problem. Was it a downpour? No. Just some typical NE weather in the Summer, and I was bone dry in there

Agree with others. It's very light and flowy. Pure decoration without any great downside. If you wear short, tight shorts under it, it will provide a bit of coverage while still letting air through to cool off. I've run in most weather conditions in one now and it's not only light and airy, but it also doesn't hold onto water and drag you down in rain or when you sweat a lot.
