I run hot and I’d say RaceFace has certainly leaned towards breathability over weatherproofing. I run too hot to use it as a “Summer rain jersey” (I just get wet in a short sleeve jersey in summer) but much less sweat inducing than a rain shell.
I really don’t have a product to compare it to. Other then the Giro Chrono soft shell jacket I linked to, which is beautifully stretchy but certainly more water proof / less breathable.
