They don’t say what weight the fleece is, but I suspect that it is heavier than 100. You can find them on eBay for $20 to $30. I’ve been wearing these quite a bit lately doing chores outside and finding them quite comfortable. They have a hand warmer pocket in front which I have mixed feelings about. I seldom use the pocket and wonder if I might be able to use a seam ripper to remove it. Being fleece, they are bulky and don’t pack down well, so cutting the pocket off might get rid of some bulk. They make a nice intermediate layer and seem to be comfortable in moderate activity and while just standing around.
