As far as breathability, it has pit zips. That has been the best feature for me at maintaining breathability.

Arc'teryx doesn't use the hung mesh liners in it's jackets-too bulky. For a waterproof jacket that breathes well, is light and durable, check ones made with the GoreTex Proshell- Alpha LT, Beta AR are good places to start. Or for lighter, but slightly less durable the GoreTex Active shell, like a Beta FL. The only difference between the Alpha SL jacket and pullover is the styling-fabric and performance are identical.
