Capilene 4 hoody owners

I revived a fall 2014 version and the weight was 8.1 ounces in medium.
The grid fleece you have is probably a lot thicker and warmer than the cap 4.

Kodiak,

Care to tell us exactly what Cap4 comoetitor weighs 14 oz??

Kodiak,

My Capilene 4 hoody, size M weighs 8.3 oz on my digital scale; Terrmar Geo Tec zip-T, 9.6 oz; Terramar Climasense zip-T 10 oz; Outdoor Research zip-T 11.4 oz; Smartwool hoody 9.9 oz. With the exception of the Smartwool, they all have inner grid patteren fleece. Hope this helps.

My MEC T2 1/4 zip (no hood) size Large is 6oz.

my Cap 4 hooded large is 9.5 oz, there are several weights of grid fleece; for example my R1 hooded large is 12.8 oz

My 2012 medium is like 8oz.

IMO the hood sucks. Get the non-hooded version and take a balaclava instead.

The competitor grid fleece I recieved was the Terramar CS 3.0 and it came in at 14oz, or just 2oz less than a standard large cotton hoody. It is full zip.

I havent gotten to see / feel cap4 in person but I understood it to be their heavyweight grid. I guess this is more comparable to R1.

Oh well I run cold and this was only $45

My size small runs that I got at the end of 2014 is 8 oz and my size small r1 (first style of slanted zipper) is 12.06 oz.

My 2014 Cap 4 zip-T (no hood) in XL weighs 7.63 oz
