The "Air Permeability: 0 CFM" stat gives pause, but other cagoules I've owned have proven to be bombproof pieces of gear that allow you to bivy up in them. Think I might give this one a look if I can't find it cheaper elsewhere.

I own the Pack Trench version of this Cagoule, but it looks to be the same year model. I opted for the trench in case I wanted to unzip it versus not being able to. Thoughts: I sized up to a Large, so that I could fit a puffy under it if need be. I'm 5'11, slender-fit, 165lbs. The Large is a bit large on me, but vents a bit better than the medium did -- which fit a little tight in the shoulders/pits. I wanted something that would cover my puffy, which is longer in the torso and would stick out of the bottom of my other rain jackets. This worked for that, and I wonder why other vendors don't make slightly longer rain jackets that cover pant pockets. The vents can't be closed, but seem to do their job well enough. I haven't had it in uber-rain/storm yet, only casual rain and drizzle, so I can't attest to how wet you will actually get when the sky really opens up... every time I take it with me, it doesn't rain much, so maybe it has decent-luck built in? I've had mine for a year now, and it works as well as my Columbia rain jackets. Mine has no drawstrings for the hood, which is the most irksome part of these products - non-adjustable hoods that blow backward in the wind, or don't move with my head. I wear a boonie, or ball cap now, and just throw the hood back... which kind of sucks, but oh well. The jacket is light for the coverage, and I do like the flaps that allow for backpacking waist-belts to fit under the front. I found this helps with venting around your stomach, since it doesn't push your jacket against your skin. As far as I can tell, this cagoule has those same flaps, but I don't see them open in any pictures. Mine has had a few holes in it that I've repaired with tape and silicone. The material is mid-range thin for lighter jackets, and has held up as expected. As with all things, YMMV. I needed a longer jacket, and wanted something that vented better than my other rain jackets... and here it is, though it's not perfect.

At 9oz this might be my only rain gear needed and I can shed the pants from my pack. Just with us was breathable.... but for the cost and weight, someone give me a reason why I should not move to this?

BT8484Looks to be a 'breathable' fabric - that is allows water vapour transfer. the idea of this garment is that it allows maximal ventilation which is far, far better at removing water vapour under the garment anyway.
