Men's 100% Merino Sport Hoodie - The Helios (Large, Grey)

I'll try to update this later, but I researched and then bought this hoodie with some trepidation. All the reviews I have found online are basically paid for by WoolPro, which honestly, makes sense to me for a small company to make a name for itself. The reviews here also seem to be questionable, as the first review follows the same outline as the description, pretty much.So here's why it's currently 3 stars and why I hope I'm wrong. I've used synthetic baselayers for years. My midweight is the ECWCS Polartec Grid Fleece, which I believe converts to 230g. I also recently bought a Smartwool 150. Both seem heavier than this shirt rated at 250g. I'll also add that the packaging makes no mention of 250g. Again, I'd prefer to be wrong here and maybe it's just super dense, but in the hand, I'd say it's something like 130g.

I have a very hard time believing that this hoody is anywhere near the claimed 250 grams. If you hold it up to the light you can see through it. It wasn't warm at all in my opinion. I should have heeded the reviews I read. And the zipper is indeed on the wrong side. I am happy that they let me return it even though the tags were off.
