Experience With Pearl Izumi Men's Infinity Jacket?

[LDog]

Wondering if it would be a great wind shirt. Does it breath? Saw one at a local running store and was impressed with the fit and weight. Very minimal. Has back vents that would probably be blocked by a pack.

I also see they make a cycling specific jacket that is similar in design called the Pro Barrier Lite Jacket. Wondering about whether this is something that will fit well while hiking, or if it's designed for riding, and again, whether it breaths ...

I'm thinking a windshirt should emphasize wind blockage, breathability and lightness over any waterproofness and features like pockets.

Any other ideas?

Beware cycling jackets with a pocket in the small of the back. Some have zippers.

Thanks. The pro barrier lite doesn't have those rear pockets
