Sounds like I got my 10 bux worth. I don't know what constitutes breathable. I put them on at home to make sure they fit, and was covered in sweat in about a minute, so I doubt these qualify. In the river, though, they were very comfortable.

I forgot to ask- they came with 2 mystery sleeves, one of which the stitching was pulling apart on. they are about the right size to go around an arm, maybe 6 inches long, no idea what they're for. Apparently the last guy used them?????
