You are basically asking how breathable this jacket is. Based on the Tech Specs, the Membrain shell has the same breathability rating as Gore-Tex which is pretty good. That said and done, I find Gore-Tex is great when used in colder environments, but jackets made of eVent are much better when it is warmer or more humid. If you are looking for a lightweight jacket to bring along in case you get stuck in a rain shower, then this jacket will be fine. If you know you are going to be spending a lot of time in the rain, then I would personally recommend looking for something like this that has pit zips.
