I need a good waterproof jacket, but breathability is also very important since I'll be using it when hiking in the mountains. Can anyone tell me about the breathability factor? Thanks.

It is waterproof and breathable for walking around but for hiking ... especially uphills, I find moisture inside the jacket - I was told that it was not from the rain coming through but my body heat tramped inside it and formed a layer of "condensation".---------If you wear a breathable fabric as your base layer, you should be OK, but if the jacket is in contact with your skin, you might find that it's not so breathable.
