I've used all kinds, especially when I was showing. Unless you put them on real tight (which I don't like doing), you'll find them on the ground in the morning and ripped to shreds or the velcro chewed up beyond repair. And yes, they sweat in all of them. They might work in a deeply-bedded stall if you lock the horse inside, which, as you know, I do not do. They'll lie down outside in the sun on the hard ground anyway no matter what you bed their stall with.
