Does anyone know how many grams of insulation this is? PL usually is in 60 or 100 gram weights. It is my understanding 60 is more like a heavy fleece replacement and 100 is more like a jacket weight. I am hoping this is 100grams, if so Ima buy it :)

I may have found the answer to my question on a reply to a question on Backcountry.com

A MH rep said that the newer version of this jacket has 120 gram weight of Thermic Micro which is their proprietary brand of insulation. I would assume the older Primaloft version has a similar weight insulation since they didn't change the name of the jacket. Maybe not exactly 120, but I doubt they put 60 in PL then switched to twice that in their insulation.

So my guess is it has about 100grams of Primaloft, maybe more. I am fine either way, so I bought it.
