I think they are mostly vapour control layers as well as airtightness. I don't know of any breathable ones.]]>

Proclima Aerosana says it has "humidity-variable diffusion resistance" so is at least somewhat breathable.

Datasheet says:
Vapour permeability:
sd value: 6 m (at 0.3 mm ; 13 mil thickness) (EN 1931)
sd value, humidity variable: 0.13 - 10.00 m (EN ISO 12572)
Vapour resistance:
g value 30 MN·s/g (at 0.3 mm ; 13 mil thickness)
g value, humidity variable 0.65 - 50 MN·s/g

I've not looked up all the others to see how they compare.]]>
