Thanks so much.</p> <p>B </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-knit-for-tropical-temps#post-510645 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 15:54:23 +0000 Amy 510645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie. It's also often made out of polyester fibers, which do not breathe well. You'd be better off with something else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-knit-for-tropical-temps#post-510642 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 15:53:10 +0000 Angie 510642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ponte knit is heavy and quite cozy. I would not recommend it for those types of tropical temperatures. I think it's too thick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-knit-for-tropical-temps#post-510533 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 08:37:25 +0000 Belladogga 510533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What exactly is ponte knit and how warm is it? I'm in the Caribbean - usual temperatures in the 80s and air-conditioning in my usual haunts will sometimes take it down to the 70s. Is ponte knit something that I could consider? I can tolerate heavier clothing in the heat than persons accustomed to more temperate climes but wonder if ponte knit would be too warm here even for me. </p>
