Can anyone tell me how this jacket compares to the MHW Ascent MCZ? Other than the hybrid softshell component, it seems very similar. Is it a bit heavier and warmer?

dlombard. The Ascent MCZ uses a Conduit Hardshell material throughout the Jacket with fleece welded strategically to the inside of the jacket (Micro Climate Zoning or MCZ) in where the body loses heat during activity. The Kramer utilizes the same MCZ fleece laminated around the jacket but now combines Hardshell and Softshell fabric combined in the shell... as you correctly identified. Due to the fleece backing of the softshell material in the Kramer it could be a little warmer overall. I hope this info helps!
