Someone mentioned that leather is obvi very hot in full sun, but one other small detail missing from this discussion is that it being so hot becomes a bigger problem when you're wearing shorts, skirts, etc. that expose skin on your thighs where they make contact with seat. Obvi, with current fashion standards this effects women way more then men, and has always struck me as one of those invisible, little ways that the world is designed by default by/for men (like with seat belt safety, high stools for presenters, etc.)

Seat belts are so annoying! I'm 5'4", which is average for a woman here. Yet everyone and everything acts like I'm short! Seat belts, even at the lowest, cut into me. Car seats are only just enough for me to pull forward but have enough room between myself and the wheel but only just! Kitchens are not designed for me and you'd think this would be the place people would design for women but noooo! I'm lucky husband's mother redesigned her entire kitchen to her height (ie mine) because every other kitchen is like "surely you are at least 5'8" right???"
