Did I sweat? Yes. Did the sweat have somewhere to go (both liquid and vapor)? Yes. It breathes as well as a heavy cotton shirt. Because it's cotton (yes, the stuff everyone says will kill you. They don't know about ventile). The mechanism for how it works is completely different from the boil-in-a-bag stuff that temperature matters for.
It was in the 50's (F) and raining. I was riding up slopes of 12-15% with parts that were steeper for longer. As an experiment, I ran a trail with the breeches on in 80˚F at 40% humidity and they breathed pretty well for that too (I didn't wear the jacket). Hope that helps.
