Active hoody from Sitka. Polartec Alpha Direct insulation, much lighter than the Active jacket material since it doesn't have the liner .

There isn't anything this year to replace the Dewpoint series, that'll be a 2020 piece at ther earliest. The factory that produced that material shut down, the Sitka guys said they knew it was coming for a couple of years, and have been working on a replacement for the Dewpoint, but it won't be available this year. He didn't have any specifics on weight for me, or exact availability schedule either.
Also, if you dig pockets on the outside of your rain gear you might not like the new Cloudburst series, or Stormfront series. They did away with most of the outer pockets, and removable hoods.
The way they explained it was it is designed to work with the Apex hoody to keep bulk down, and to provide just a little more insulating property. It is MUCH thinner than the Active jacket, and overall weight of it is really low. 100% designed as an August and September system piece. I agree, I wish it had full sleeves, but I guess you can take that up with Barklow at Sitka. Sounds like they didn't want to add any bulk in the sleeves area to interfere with bow strings. That thing is between a Core lightweight and mid weight in material thickness. It's hard to describe until you see it in person.
