    On a serious note, I personally can't wear anything heavier than a 16 ounce material. 22 oz sounds like 5 yards of pure hell to me. If you do get something made from that heavy material, please post a review- I'd be very interested to read it/.

    It's 8 yards not 5. Perfect for a Chicago winter (thought I've worn it in summer too).

    Oh! My mistake! So is this a Dante-esque comparison of the levels of Hades? Denver ain't all that warm either, but I have great internal heat.
