If you have an OG Houdini jacket or the current "Air" version they breathe pretty well and I'd say they are a good option. The current "normal" Houdini is different than the OG version and the premium "Air" version and is more akin to wearing a trash bag when it comes to breathability. It gets confusing talking about them as there are 3 different products that all are "Houdini Jackets".
The lack of waterproofness is a benefit...**_if_**...it comes with a high level of breathability...**_and_**...you don't ride in heavy rain. The current "normal" Houdini fails IMO because you get poor breathability combined with poor weatherproofness.
