BPL Merino Hoody

Is this a slightly different hoody than before (heavier)?

>> Is this a slightly different hoody than before (heavier)?

The description doesn't specify, so I leave it to a BPL staff member to answer this one. The description DOES mention that it is heavier than the BPL Merino UL base layers, though, which may have confused you.

I ordered a medium that arrived yesterday. It weighs 9.26oz so it seems its an ounce heavier than the weight stated on the BPL page.

Mine arrived yesterday (L) and is 10.1oz on my scales. I was expecting 8.2oz. Not a disaster (of course), but seems strange given the site we're on! I was replacing a 9.1oz berghaus base layer – hoping to lose an oz and gain a hood. Personally, I still love the feel of this hoody and I'm going to keep it, but I am intrigued by the change and might be a little more cautious about BPL's weight claims going forward… anyone from BPL care to comment?

I was surprised to find that a Patagonia R1 hoody is listed at 10.9 oz.
I would've thought the BPL hoody was MUCH lighter.

I'm on the fence about keeping mine. Seems well made & the overall fit is good, but the hood fit & feel is a bit uncomfortable to me. I'm hoping it will grow on me. I like the hood/longer sleeve/thumb hole design. I believe the 8.2oz listed weight of the originals was for size medium.

We have made no changes to the design or materials for the Beartooth Merino Wool Hoody. We simply manufactured a new batch and re-stocked the shelves. Note that the weight supplied on the product page is for a size medium. Ordering a larger size than this will cause an obvious increase in weight.
