They will be much cooler then a waterproof cover or a disposable diaper. Lots of products say they are breathable, but not all breathability is the same. Having a product not be airtight can still be very hard to breath thru. I always use the “hold it up to my face and breath test” to judge breathability. There is lots of variation in breathability in fleece or wool covers as well. In fleece it depends on what the fabric is treated with for waterproofness.

(And of course no clothes over a coverless diaper.) For coolness in the diaper it is the same breathability factor. And again it is the tightness of the weave that effects breathability. The tig
