Do Ripstop canvas swags have enough cotton?

Hi all,
I am trying to buy my first swag and am unsure of the correct material to get. The only advice I have received is from a friend who lives up around Gladstone who told me that if I want to use a swag up in the northern parts of Oz, I have to get a 100% cotton swag and that the Ripstop canvas doesn't cut it. I will occasionally be going up to the northern parts (Darwin, Cairns etc) although mainly around SA. It seems the majority of swags use Ripstop canvas which I believe is a poly/cotton blend. Are these alright to use up north? Or is my mate correct and they just won't "breathe" enough and I'll have horrible nights?

I am looking at OzTrail swags and I haven't seen any of theirs use 100% cotton. This suggests to me that they think the poly/cotton blend in their ripstop canvas works pretty well.

I would like to hear if you have used a ripstop poly/cotton blend swag up in northern Australia and what you thought of it.

Thanks!
