As Paul said the jacket is more air permeable but if used for what it's meant for, high output activities, it doesn't make much of a difference. I had mine out skinning in probably 25mph winds with 40mph gusts dropping the temp to around 0F and didn't feel anything. If you want breathability you don't want windstopper.

It does not have windstopper fabric. It uses fortius 2.0 which is a stretch woven fabric. Windstopper uses a membrane laminated to the fabric. Fortius breathes better than windstopper but is more air permeable. I am not sure if there are cfm numbers on the fortius fabric since it is a proprietary arcteryx fabric.
