Can i use this during the summer? Will it be too hot?

Yeah, the bag you use makes all the difference. If you only plan on using it during the summer, the Xlite is lighter but less comfy and not really meant for side sleepers. This pad (Xtherm) is the best on level ground bar none.

You can definitely use this pad during the summer. What will influence if you're hot or not will be the bag you use.

Yes. You can use it in the summer !!! . I have and have had no heating problems whatsoever. Basically you feel its magic when its actually cold. So don't worry ! ;)

Yes, although if you have adequate finances, I'd consider also getting a Neoair Xlite, since it weighs less and provides adequate insulation and comfort. Having said that, ~16 or 17 ounces for this guy is not too much either, although if you've gone ultralight, you know that every ounce counts. But if you can only buy one bag, and want to use it for summer and winter, this is the one to get!

Temperature in my garage during the summer is well over 100 degrees, when parked outside in direct sunlight, it is hotter yet, I really do not think you will have a problem.

Our summer hasn't started here yet, but we get up to 125 F in the summer. So I imagine they would be, but I have some cute pillow cushions on the seat, so it would not be hot. They are so study, and comfy. I bought 3 of them this month.

To be honest, we have such hot weather that I'm thrilled it knocks our temperature in a huge window-lined room down more than 10 degrees. Our room also has the disadvantage of having a huge archway that opens into a mud room and the rest of our home. It was 98 degrees outside and I was thrilled my sunroom was 80 degrees. I think expectations should be adjusted depended on load, how open the room is to other areas, and the external temperature. One thing this is NOT is central air. We have central air and there is no comparison. That being said, I still think this is the best portable unit on the market today and we are still very pleased with it.

I'm sure it would get hot in the sun, as it is black plastic. But most of the area your child would contact is covered with fabric, so I wouldn't worry about it. I bought this because we have two Britax car seats, and we were impressed with the quality and thoughtful design. Britax specializes in baby stuff, so I would go Britax again in a second.

Yes, with high heat and humidity like here in Houston, Texas you can get overheated in summertime. But, you can get overheated in these conditions humping with just a pack when it's hot out. I've used mine for a year and a half and have nothing but good words for it. I use it as a day pack with long term supplies in main backpack. Note that it does a great job of balancing out your load making it more comfortable to carry heavy loads. What I do when I get overheated is unzip the rib pack and let it hang loose, drink lots of water and rest in the shade a while before continuing. When wearing it by itself, it doesn't contribute much to your core temp. Hope that helps. Yes, with high heat and humidity like here in Houston, Texas you can get overheated in summertime.

I've used it on plants in the sun in hot weather without problem, but I consider it hot if it is above 80 degrees F.in the shade.

It gets fairly hot but I don't recall it burning me. However summer is not fully in swing for me to recheck

I live in the Caribbean were it is summer and hot throughout the year. If you don't have your AC on and on a 17 degrees Celsius it can get really hot.

Honestly, I take it off my bed in the summertime (I live in Vegas). I think with A/C on and climate control for humidity, it would be OK but I think it would be too warm.

I would say yes. I use it summer (when I have some color from the sun) and winter. I love it!

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.

Yes, I used it all summer and it was fine. And much cooler than it would with my laptop directly on my lap.

I have only owned it for a month and summer is not here yet, but I don't think it will be hot; don't quote me on that though when summer gets here I will know.

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

I live in Florida & use this year round. I find it to be warm but not oppressingly hot in summer. It might br too light foe winter if you live in a cold region
