I really want a silk sling, but I’m afraid it will be too hot. Are ZoloWear silk slings hot?
• Our silk slings feel absolutely luxurious against your skin. But combine them with your baby’s body heat, and you might get a bit toasty if you’re outside in hot summer sun. • Silk is an insulator, and our slings are made from two layers of silk. Here in steamy Houston, Texas, we wear silk slings inside year-round, and outside when it’s less than about 85 degrees. • A silk sling is not a practical choice for outdoor hikes in the Texas summer. However, it’s comfortable for short trips outside, like from your car to the grocery store. • If you live in a hot climate and plan to wear your sling outside often, start with a lightweight, light-colored cotton or solarveil sling. You might find that you love your sling so much that you need a silk one for the cooler months.
