Took my Pata CTWHoody (and scales-just joking but I was sorely tempted
) 25 ks into Macpac (nothing like being chauffeured by your daughter) and learned-
Macpac Prothermal Hoody vs Patagonia Capilene Thermalweight Hoody-
they are basically the same but the grid fleece blocks are discernabley smaller on the Mac by a wee bit and seems to be the same (identical to the eye held up to the light) weight face fabric. Stitching the same on both. Overall weight felt the same and both rolled up to the same size.
Forgot to add the black version was slightly smaller than the blue in the shop! Believe it or not. Had to size up as I wanted the black.
So slight extra warmth retention on the Patagonia I would say
Moondog- so no purchase, too similar to the PCTWH, but it is a keen price at the moment-If you are thinking of it -I say it's maybe time to channel Izzy Mandelbaum and it's Go Time!
Sale ends Monday so I was told-it's not on the website.
So got the Prothermal leggings instead! Whacko!
Hoping to be good -likely to be carried end of day extra warmth or very cold walking.
New was the Mac Nitro Hoody-yes S finally picked one up-beautiful and Ta boyo.
Have a 20k walk on in the am tomorrow and 25ks on Friday am and will bust it out.
Also tempted by the Hightail rain pants but basically the same again as some Montanes (both the 140 grams odd) that I already have-but they looked very good.
