looking at MH's thermostatic hoody and was wondering how it compared to primaloft one (Patagonia Nano)- the jacket is lighter especially considering a hood, full zip, etc, but wondering if it's equivalent (or superior?) to primaloft 1

I saw in a magazine ad that MH claims it's 30% warmer than PL1.
well that's certainly encouraging, would be better coming from Richard or the like, but encouraging nonetheless!
30% of what? It's like Columbia's claim of 20% warmer with their silver dots— note that Columbia and MH are part of the same organization.
I'm very skeptical of double digit improvement claims with any system. That great an increase is revolutionary with any physical material. You're very right about needing empirical evidence. Service life and compressibility need comparison too.
IMHO, much of the warmth from these thinly insulated garments comes from two layers of fabric. You end up with two windshirts and a light layer of fluff between.
MHW's claims for TQE go from 20% over 30% to 35% warmer then P1. Mmm, strange (sceptical tone).
calling Richard :)
