Summer covers?

I just ordered a nikky 100% cotton cover.

I haven't tried them before, but I am hoping it is exactly what I have been looking for...trim, stretchy, and cool

Nothing is more breatheable or cooler than wool, IMO. One person mentioned that it would be like getting into a steam room with a turtleneck, but if you get a wool soaker that's not the case. It would be more like getting into a steam room with a pair of wool undies on! I live in Northern CA, and it gets fairly hot here in the summer...I plan on using wool side snap covers or soakers all summer long

glad i found this thread! I was considering an alternative to my wool covers (aristocrats and sugarpeas), thinking maybe my ds was too hot in them on hot, humid days. I personally have a low tolerence for heat and humidity, so looking at what looked like a wool sweater on his cute bum on a summer day made me doubt my choice. But you've restored my confidence in the appropriateness of wool, even in summer! As far as I can tell, he's only ever cranky for reasons other than wearing a wool cover.

yeah it's really hot and humid here in Missouri during the summer and we are still using our wool soakers and shorties. they are much cooler on ds than a diaper, cover, shorts coombo is. and it's quicker too

I am a HUGE fan of the breathability of the Alexis Featherlite nylon pull-ons. They are cut trim through the hips, but have very generous waist and leg openings, so the cover sort of hovers over the diaper, not really touching it anywhere...but, I can still pick up ds and put him on my hip without getting a wet shirt like if he was coverless.

I love how there is no snug velcro at his waist either, like with some of his PUL wraps. They are icky in the summer I think.

He gets red and rashy from anything else not as breathable as the Alexis covers, but with them, it's basically just like going coverless.

I have this one for dd:

I suppose it wouldn't be very good for heavy wetters since it's only one layer/. We've never had any leaks but we change pretty often.

When I feel my sugarpeas cover it does feel a bit thicker than the stacinator. I don't know how much that would translate into wettness protection though, doesn't seem that big a difference to me.
