The thorofare pants in size large weigh 4.4 oz.
They are very thin but seem to be durable beyond their weight. The light color is semi-transparent when wet, not important to me but may be to some. I didn't get the shirt as I prefer wool only for tops. Check the following reference to a thread that discusses them in detail.http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/xdpy/forum_thread/15347/index.html

They are very thin (obviously). I bought mine for more or less summer use in the mountains, but never got to take them on a trip after getting them as the weather got colder and I took my heavier Icebreaker.
They feel great on though.
