Hi!
Yesterday I got my new Woolpower Full Zip Jacket 600 size Medium and I was astonished about the rather thin fabric, compared to the 400 Jacket and the 600 socks that I also use. I put both jackets onto my scale and the weight of the 400 is 612 grams and the 600 is 767 grams, but I had my dear wife remove a big chunk of the butt flap on the 400 jacket, as it coming early down to midthigh. So I also put a pair of 400 weight socks on the scale to make up for the loss and these are 77 grams.
Also, compared to the socks, the touch and feel of the jackets are nearly the same, given that the 400 has been washed before and the 600 is new... If you compare the 400 and 600 socks, there is a substantial difference in weight and thickness that I do not note in the jackets.
Also, the tags say the same about the material (400: 69% merino, 29% poyamide, 2% elastan, 600: 70% merino, 28% polyamide, 2% elastan) while their website states the material of the 600 with 70% merino and 30% polyamide.
I also put the socks on the scale and the 400 come at 77 grams but the 600 come with 122 grams, same size...
So, does anybody here own the same jackets and can give me a weight for the size Medium or can offer some explanation? Or did something go wrong in the mill?
Kind regards,
Heinz
