On the contrary, it IS cotton that breathes, polyester does not. It retains heat. 100% cotton is the way to go unless someone perspires a lot, then they may not like their damp/wet clothes if outside a long time.

From Link: Is polyester breathable?
No. Polyester is made from plastic fibers. On the upside, it wicks moisture and dries quickly, but it tends to retain bad odors. The breathability varies depending on yarn size and whether it is a knit or weave, but in general, polyester should be avoided in hot weather.
