Both will make you sweat. I have a gore windstopper vest and love it. BUT never use it when I do high aerobic activities. I like it for hiking, after I exercise(I climb and when I come down from climbing a route I put it on), It is also good when standing around at a campground. When I ride I want good wind protection and breathability....Powershield...Foxwear does it.
