If anyone has the new Brooks, I would like to hear how it compares to the uncompahgre in terms of warmth. On paper the Uncompahgre seems like it would be warmer but I’m curious as to how it is in the real world.

I just got mine yesterday - sold my uncompahgre - hard to say on warmth since it's so warm outside - what was very noticeable was how lightweight it was. I remember seeing Jordan Budd saying the Uncompahgre was warmer but not by much. I love how lightweight and packable the brooks is so if its even close I'm going to be very happy.
 
I'm looking for something between the Kuiu ultra and pro. I think this fits that based off weight. Anyone think the same?
 
It should be in between based on amount of down although it is lower fill power so that brings it a little closer to the ultra down not the pro. Kuiu ultra 2.3 oz 850. Kuiu pro 5 oz 850. Brooks 3.5 oz 800. Those are all advertised but no telling what size each represents. No idea what 37.5 does for the brooks or what 37.5 does in general as I’ve never been able to figure that out or get a solid answer. Firstlite says it’s 37.5 downtek. Well downtek is the dwr treated down so what the heck is 37.5 doing?
