"Total Weight of All Sizes 13.8 Ounces"

That's weird spec to have on hand. How often does that question get raised?

I have an EB down jacket. Been happy with it for the past two winters.

The only thing I can figure is that they mean each of the jackets weight is the listed ounces ABOVE that 13.8 baseline number. There's no way a XXL Hooded Jacket would weigh 5.14 oz. So, the XXL would actually weigh 18.94 oz.

I think the First Ascent line has some good overlooked pieces, but that info is really confusing. They do list an average weight on firstascent.com, under the "features" tab. There, the Downlight Hooded Jacket lists at 14 oz (probably for a medium).

Oh well.
