In rain jackets, breathability means that if you are sweating inside, and the outside is relatively dry, then the inside water will eventually evaporate and the air vapor can pass through.
If you want actual breathable, you look for rain ponchos with side slots, jackets with pit zips, or I've even seen extreme hikers use an umbrella with a waterproof kilt.
Frogg Toggs excel at being cheap and pretty durable compared to thinner DWR treated nylon. Also a DWR treated nylon can wet out if you sit in water while truly waterproof gear doesn't. It's a good rain suit to have in a truck for a worker, and they are good for kids that will grow out of stuff. They are in my opinion bad hiking gear as they are too crispy feeling.
I like thin nylon DWR for hiking on day trips (Arctix, Columbia, whatever). Try to avoid washing them to preserve the DWR. The newer eco-DWR everyone is using is no better than Nikwax. I like higher quality polyurethane if waterproofness might be critical for survival (mine are Helly Hansen Moss).

the slickdeal raincoat i bought years said breathable but it's just mesh pockets without lining so heat/moisture from the stomach down goes out of the pockets.
but your chest is still hot.
hm.. i just need the jacket.

I had a Columbia goretex ski jacket a couple of decades ago.
it was supposed to be 'breathable' but after skiing hard, i was getting hot and sweating.
Had to unzip and open the ski jacket, which defeated the purpose of paying a premium for the Goretex 'breathablily'
