Mesh can diminish dew on the fabric of the chair.

I see that La Fuma has four types of Batyline mesh. The mesh would not soak up much moisture.

From the ad "BatylineŽ mesh is a French made material used in the Flexy and Fusion Light collections. BatylineŽ is an extremely durable and high quality material consisting of a polyester fiber covered by a coating of PVC, making it nearly impossible to tear. It is 100% synthetic and resistant to rot and mildew."

Suntracker swivel chair also uses mesh.
Suntracker has Blue and Light Green Vinyl Mesh.

Has anyone used mesh and can tell us how it works?

I have the Suntracker chair wtih the "blue Marine polyester fabric". I have not had trouble with dew. However, if you are heavy like I am, the chair does not deal with plopping down without control. The Suntracker people did send me a couple of clips that made the chair like new. The chair is very low, about ten inches off the ground. It is an effort for an older person to get up from a low seat. The chair does recline and swivel very nicely! The arms of the chair are useful as a base with lifters, to support the arms holding the binoculars.
