Thanks for the suggestions,

I own a WM down vest - that I love - it has saved me on several cold trips. I use it in addition to my mid layer when it gets COLD.

I just got home from REI where they had the Revelcloud on sale 30% off - $103. After cutting tags and removing the zipper pull strings it weighs 12.4 oz for a men's large.

I will take it out on a trip or two before I decide whether or not to add pit zips.

Thank you to everyone for the help.
