ThanX!
That looks/sounds like a nice jacket. However, the price is a bit steep!
I use a Rebok vented windbreaker. It is vented front and back with overlapping material. It works very nicely. I use it as my outermost layer in temps down to about 20F. I think the key is adjusting your layers in addition to some venting. I purchased the jacket at the local Salvation Army Thrift Store for around $4.00. I also have non-vented windbreakers/jackets for colder conditions or different layering options.
If you get that jacket, be sure to post your opinion of it!
