Before buying this I read reviews saying the fabric is terrible and hot. I ignored this and I have to say I wish I'd listened. Being that its a cover up I'll still use it for short trips up to the pool. This is nothing I would want to hang out in. The fabric is not breathable at all. And I read other's reviews and thought its a cape how bad can it be? Seriously its pretty uncomfortable and very sticky to wear for more than a few minutes. There's better cheep cover ups on amazon.
