Has anyone done any pratical test under different weath conditions.
Having tried to sleep under leather tents in hot & humid ( 37C plus) environment like we have here. We found once the need for shade is gone i.e the sun went down. Even with the sides rolled up it was more comfortable to sleep out side the tent. The leather becomes like sauna a bit.
While I agree all the finds tent are of leather in hot humid environment you be throwing people out their homes fairly quickly to take them over if you had spend weeks under leather and I guess linen too.
