Can anyone tell me their experience with these in warm climates? I'm concerned the leather like fabric will be hot & sticky feeling, not breathable?

I have never had a problem with them being to hot or sticky. I took a 200 mile trip and they were fine.

These were cheap junk and ripped the day I put them on. Not a little bit either- ALL OVER. Warm weather or cold, don't waste your money.

In hot climate the seat covers make the car really hot u have to put down all the Windows and leave it down for a good min till the a.c. kick in good enough also the seat will burn u especially if ur wearing short clothing but in cold/cool climate the seat covers are fine

I don't think waterproof is the word. They dry quickly, though I live in the southwest and find they can be pretty warm in the summer. They are breathable but more medium weight.

I live in a super humid environment. They work best when they're damp and have airflow over them. They're going to be sticky and as uncomfortable as any athletic clothing would be at that humidity, but your skin is still protected. If you're at that level of humidity and in the sun, it's going to suck with or without the sleeves.

I can only answer from a road cycling perspective as I got these for riding in colder weather. However feet moving for running is a different matter than feet moving on pedals. I was "okay" at 40 degrees F, although I would've liked my feet to have felt warmer.

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 own a pair and I have had no problems with rippiing or tearing. Because both pairs are doing the same thing, I suspect you might be kneeling on them or maybe the cold winter weather is breaking down the leather. I do not think they are supposed to be exposed to that kind of cold. I just use them for getting in my pond.

The material is a very heavy nylon outer shell, and I would say that they would protect against any "road rash". I've found the pants to be very dry during my winter rides, and very warm. I have only ridden in 2 heavy rains since owning them, and both times, I only had some small wet areas around my knees...... Other than that, for the price, these have been excellent pants, and a great addition to my gear. I am anxious to see during the summer months how they work with the zip out lining removed, and if they will be to hot to use??

You can hold a good grip. The strap is also very helpful. Like I said in my review the smell of them is a total disadvantage. You literary have to wash them almost every other day. Such an inconvenience!!I would suggest looking at other options.

I wouldn't recommend these at all for hot weather ... They are thick and do not breathe well. Try looking for a knit material glove with the nubby palm for grip.

Correct not breathable, but no moisture issues, even in a relatively humid climate of San Francisco. However after spending several months airing them out, direct sunlight exposure and hosing them off repeatedly, once I finally began using them, the stench of plastic fumes were still unbearable. Thus sadly, all six of them ended up in some plastic heap choking some corner of our planet.

Yes they are. I got a pair of my own for my car, and I LOVED them. They are extremely durabale and are coated with polyethylene on the back wich is like the silver duck tape you'd use for pressure-sensitive things and they are weather-resistant. I have drove with those over 90* F and under 30*F and through heavy storms and dry humidity, and they are still in perfect condition. If you really want those, I highly recommend getting them, and don't worry about the air blubbles you might develope upon putting them on, cause the heat will flatten them out.

I bought these for my daughter, she wore them during hot yoga with no problem, and that was LOTS of sweat! Hope this helps...

I find them to be reasonably snug without being too tight. For me they are comfortable. If you were to be more active than walking normally, they would slide out of position. Unfortunately probably one of those things you'll have to try to see if they work for you. Hope this helped a little.

Not at all! I love these pants! I just wish they were a little warmer because I would wear them all year long! They are the most comfortable pants I have ever worn (without a sound).

I believe, yes, in hot weath climate in works like Forestguard, but isn't the ideal, this may work well but..., I sugesst to you Propper but 100% cotton ripstop BDU's pants, P.D. I'm in Colombia, I work in field, wet forest and cloud forest, I know wath I say.

I would definitely not wear these in hiking boots. Your feet will sweat like you can't imagine then they will chill. I've worn neoprene gloves to work in very cold climates and the only time I didn't regret my decision was when I had to get my hands wet. The sweat ends up chilling my hands and the cold plus the chill makes things worse. Wicking liners and really nice thick wool based socks work best. I've augemented this with small heat packs and have been quite happy in -30F temps. I know they also make battery heated socks that work well.

I live in Vegas and it's hot and dry. I don't know how they'd be in humid weather, but mine lasted about 6 months and definitely got crunchy after each game. Switched to a 50 dollar Nike pair and never going back.
