Yeah, I've got the weight versus warmth tradeoff.  Looking for something for cool summer evenings.  Icebreaker has a few 150 products, I've asked them to send me the weights (strange that they're not on the web site).

  There's lots lighter... Including the icebreaker 150's. Basically same thing...but slightly thinner weave.

  But anything lighter won't be as warm

No problem with it, just wondered if there was anything lighter; it weighs 8.1 ounces.  I've had it for a while and thought I'd see if there was anything new out there that I should check.
