Hello Adrian
The weight of a military tunic is given in the papyrus document mentioned in my book.
The depiction of numerous folds in sculptures of tunics would suggest a lightweight wool rather than a heavy. If you are worried about warmth the solution is to wear more tunics which is attested by the sources. Wearing multiple tunics again suggests a light wool material.
Best wishes.
Graham.
