If we’re talking about polyester as material then polyester fibers are not breathable because it is made up of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) which is plastic, however, the polyester fabrics are always breathable though not all polyester clothing provides an equal amount of breathability.

Yes, polyester is warm because the woven fibers of polyester fabric trap the ‘still’ air between them. And our science says that air is a poor conductor of heat and that’s why this trapped air acts as a thermal insulator so that the body doesn’t lose its heat in the surrounding environment due to temperature …

Yes, polyester material is windproof but when the polyester threads are woven together it creates the pores or gaps between the fibers and yarns which allow the air to pass through. So in a sense, on its own, no polyester fabric clothing is windproof unless it has the support of technical fabrics like GoreTex Windstopper, …
