it doesn't breathe. but under there it's open, so ventilation is good.
It might only be as wide as me, but from what I have seen, it creates a "webbed-feet" effect between your body and arms, which could act like a sail.

But the ventilation and ease of covering work clothes is what is making me consider them.
