I think all carriers are a bit hot. But the ergo is less hot than the moby or k'tan.
I see them come up on nobetterdeal pretty often.

Baby wearing in general is hot, imo. It can be pretty warm, but I don't think it is worse than others.

I'm in south Florida and I prefer the Bjorn air over the ergo for heat reasons.
I have the organic navy ergo, but its just too hot IMHO if we're outside...

I have the galaxy gray Ergo so it won't absorb too much sunlight. It gets warm, but in my experience all babywearing does when it's hot out. I love it! So easy to get on and off, I like the pocket and the hood for shade for baby's head or support when he sleeps.

My daughter was born in June, so we started with a Bjorn Air, and moved her into an Ergo once she was bigger and the weather wasn't quite so brutal. Now we are back into the hot sticky season, and I've still hit her in the Ergo. Even though she's small at 11 months (about 16 pounds), that's just too much weight for me to carry only on my shoulders. DH sometimes takes her in a hike in the Bjorn, but even he is starting to find it uncomfortable under her weight. Unfortunately, summer baby wearing is just a sweaty business. I try to wear prints or thin shirts that dry quickly to avoid a big wet patch where LO was against me.

@Smurfette: We're in Atlanta too! LO is only 9 weeks old so I don't have much baby wearing experience in the heat, but I wore him in the Ergo to a memorial day party and we were both pretty sweaty by the time I took him out. He didn't seem to mind though! I definitely think the Moby and K'Tan are warmer than the Ergo, so it's worth a try. I love ours.

We have the Ergo performance, which is pretty breathable. It's made out of more technical fabric. We use it hiking and around town, and we love it.
