I would give it a solid 7.5 due in part to the pit zips & mesh pockets. They definitely help. The PreCip material is not as breathable as a Gore-Tex membrane but it does vent well & keeps you dry.

agreed on the 7... with the mesh pockets pit-zips and adjustable cuffs it's very breathable.

Mine is a couple of years old but the pockets are made of mesh and will act as venting. The pit zips are huge. You can loosen the wrist cuffs. IMO, for the money (they are always on sale somewhere) these are great rain shells.

I would say closer to 7... the pit-zips help a lot.

Now that's the million dollar question. Breathability is a hard thing to measure as there are many different tests and certain types of fabrics give better results with one test than another and manufacture naturally pick the test that gives the best results for their particular fabric. Having used most of the waterproof/breathable fabrics, my 1-10 rating with 1 being an old school non-breathable coated rain shell and 10 being a gore pro shell, would be 6 for Precip.
