And I've worked up a sweat in mine walking the dog, but that's more about having the wrong under-layers than an issue with the jacket. Because it is slightly insulated you need less layering underneath, any more than a base-layer or a short-sleeve cycle-top is overdoing it. I'm quite a sweaty bu99er and find it fine, it breathes well in up to really quite warm and mild conditions (Summer L2B Night rides and back in monsoon conditions for example) and when travelling fast there's plenty of ways to let air flow through. OK, it's no skin-suit but for touring, commuting, Audaxes etc it's perfect. The other plus is that if you're out in the winter and have to stop to fix a mechanical or wait around, it keeps you much warmer then other waterproof shell type jackets, you just batten down the hatches.Because I have read reviews of people working up a sweat while wearing it for a 'brisk walk'. That suggests to me that it is not practical for cycling at anything other than a walking pace.
I'm more than happy with mine, after Gore-tex types it's a revelation in dryness, breathability and comfort..
.... and I might get one of these for the warmer days .....
