Because carrying outside on a day like today will give you a big sweaty spot around your IWB holster! I'm glad the holster I was wearing today was open muzzle, or I would've filled it up.
True Dat!!!
I have a cowhide Super Tuck and it's offensive how much sweat builds up between it and my skin.
Any of you horsehiders able to say anything about the benefits of your holsters? Though I don't expect those benefits to extend into 105 degree days.

The horsehide still gets hot, but supposedly doesn't transfer much, if any moisture to the pistol.
Hot/windy weather is the concealed carrier's worst enemy, 'cuz it's too hot to comfortably wear an outer cover shirt and too windy to keep from printing. 
But yeah....horsehide is the material I prefer when at all possible.
I know some of y'all remember the rusted carry Glock incident I experienced a few years ago, but for those who do not....
I had left mine chambered/holstered for a week or so in hot/sweaty conditions and when I finally pulled it out it was difficult to rack the slide due to the amount of rust that had formed in and around the barrel/chamber.
The rust had actually *pitted* the Glock's barrel.
An ugly sight, to be sure.
Notice!
Remember to frequently unholster and chamber check your carry weapon.
(but don't frequently rechamber the same round)

My CTAC has a pretty small surface area, but it's kydex, so it definitely builds some sweat up.
