Body Temperature: Leon Paul Team 360 Range vs Sydney FIE 800N Jacket

I am a beginner, but safety freak. So I have bought Leon Paul Team 360 FIE 800N jacket. Forgive me...

In general I am very pleased with it. The quality and fit are great! But the material is much thicker than 350N jackets I am used to rent from the club. It feels less breathable and less cooler inside.

I know that Sydney has a lot of great properties, but I am interested in one aspect only: Is Sydney FIE 800N Jacket better than 360 Range in keeping body temperature down? How much better if yes? Is it worth to upgrade (and spend $150 more) for this reason ONLY?

Note: Team 360 Range is unlined (one layer only). Sydney has multiple layers.

All answers will be highly appreciated. Thank you!

The Sydney is very thin and it has a wicking layer. Yes, it will keep you cooler. The team 360 equipment is actually fairly breathable for FIE equipment, though.

Also, Cartel's FIE uniform is as thin and light as you'll find, but no where near the same quality/comfrot level of the LP ones.

the thickness and stretchiness is directly proportional to cost with FIE. The Sydney is considerably thinner, cooler and stretchier than the team range but that comes at a considerable cost!
