Below the chest looks like 300 event fabric. Above the chest looks like 560 event. Can anyone else verify this?

never heard of these numbers. these jackets are made from an event laminate (that all have a superior waterproof rating 15k, and MVTR of 20,000), and use a lightweight nylon face fabric. i do not unit weight of this fabric, but the jacket is 14oz.
