I guess the idea is that it keeps your whole body a little bit cooler?
My arms sweat in every nylon jacket I've worn while riding, thinner sleeves would reduce that. I prefer a vest when the temperature is colder as it shortens the time between feeling cold and then warm, as well as the cooling off time.
