And remember you ladies up north, (I am from Canada and NY at one time) As you live down here in FL your blood gets thinner and you feel the cold just as much and it can be very humid here, but as things get washed more, a good cotton batting would be good. Up here 70 miles N of Tampa it gets down to freezing some in the winter, usually in 50's-60 or higher in day time. Like El Paso, sun does down and so does Temp.
