Climelite

just got my climalite pullover, I'm 186cm and 70 kg and ordered large. (normally wear mediums)
seems like a perfect fit, leaves enough room to have a base layer and small fleece under it.
it weights 253 grams

really happy with it so far, have yet to test it though but it looks really well made and super comfy.

It is advertised at 195g for a M on the website

My 10 year old Haglofs LIM Barrier pullover is 260g and has Primaloft 60, so it’s almost identical. Really good top. I expect the Cumulus Climalite is as good.

Perhaps not, I reckon there may be an error. Cumulus and their weights seem to be spot on if not a tad under. They confirmed the weights I listed above. It couldn't be that far out-could it?
I'm hoping not, but I'm glad I didn't rush to sell my bithorn pullover.

Waiting for @mathijs to confirm his model style.
I'd prefer an apex for tarping but happy with my down and a windshirt for use with my shelter.

I had a bad experience once when sleeping in a MH Whisperer.
The zip stuck on an old dcf duomid.
There was that much clag, that the inside and outside of the shelter was soaked.
Fighting with the zip brought my arms, shoulder and upper back, into contact with the material.
That soaked the jacket and I had no insulation..
If its cold and claggy or expecting condensation, I sleep with a windshirt over the down or even sleep in my Phantom hoody.

Ever thought about this one as well? Slightly lighter apex but can be had quicker than the JMT?

still a nice light package. About 210 gms? How would this one compare in price @Chiseller to the Cumulus for a Brit? $150USD without the hood. Fit will be better too. I am a M in this at that 210 gms. Bit cheaper than the JMT but still overboard?

IIRC @craige had one but was not impressed; he might be able tell more.

Warmth seemed good for the weight... on everything I've had from ee has been over weight by an amount that isn't really an acceptable manufacturing tolerance. Workmanship was s***e and there were a lot of smaller details just not very well thought through or done badly (cords running against insulation so when pulled a little insulation comes out the end of the channel and such).

I've got an EE torrid. Womens size small with hood is 206g versus advertised 190g. The only cord is on the hood and I haven't noticed the problem Craig mentions. It's much warmer than the Berghaus vapourtherm for the same weight so I'm taking it to the Pyrenees, probably total overkill but it's puffy enough to make a good pillow stuffer. It has two zipped side pockets as well, which is pretty good for the weight.

Nice, but for the unexpected weight.

Further confirmation from Cumulus -add 8 grams per size on top of the L at 250.
Apparently the weights were for the the old model.
Site will be amended soon. Whoops a daisy -already done
Fwiw some of the folk elsewhere are frothing over the down version.
195 in L. About half that weight is in down.
I'm currently using a Norrona down 900 sweater.. 165g with pouch. Pricey but a good bit of kit. Down side is No hood and it could use a drawcord at the hem.
I picked mine up 2nd hand but as new.

Interesting -I can't find the ratio of down to the total weight on the Norrona @Chiseller ? Do you know what it is? It is not on their website.The Cumulus has people frothy because just under half of the total weight is down and it seems (?) a sweet price.

The Borah is also just under half the total weight in down.
I couldn't say.
I know the fill is certified down fill of 900 to 950 cu in/ oz and the face fabric is 19/20g m2
