Ben is wrong, the Pumori is 200 wt Recycled Polartec while the Khumbu is TKA 300. From NF Official website.

the pumori is made out of polartec 200 as opposed to tka 200 which is a fabric made by north face-------------------------------both are 200 weight fleece. The pumori is a little lighter, and definatly softer. I believe it will work better if you want it as a layering piece, something to use when extremely active in cold weather, and also able to use it on it's own. The khumbu is a little thicker, and at least *feels* warmer on its own. It will work fine as a zip in liner, but because it's thicker, it might not be as good for that as the pumori. It's look is a little different, it almost looks like wool (at least my grey one does). If you are looking for mostly a stand alone jacket, but one that could also be used as a liner or layering piece, then go for the Khumbu.
