Hey folks, happy owner of a MB Alpine light jacket. It is working well for me in dryer weather but I am toying with the idea of picking up a synthetic jacket to experiment with in humid/wet conditions. Wondering if someone could help recommend me an equivalent to the MB AL in a synthetic jacket of same or any other brand that is working for you.

Thanks, jimmyb

Any 133gm piece would be as warm.
Arcteryx Atom AR would be close.

Thanks for the help Stephen. Is there some conversion formula I should be aware of or are you going on past experience when coming up with the insulation weight. Just curious.

per Sir Richard N, the Alpine Light has a clo value of ~ 2.5, the Patagonia Micro Puff Hoody (100 gram Primaloft) ~ 2.4

I own both and would say that those numbers are very close
