hey guys...im a big fan of bonfire stuff....love their designs and quality. I have the 2010 Aero jacket. I went to a local store this past week to check out they're 2011 clearance stuff to try and pick out another jacket and noticed that the outer shells across the line felt a bit thinner and overall insulation was less than my 2010 model. Does anyone notice that with this 2011 line? Like I picked up this years Aero model and the material felt a lot less "heavy duty" than my 2010. My 2010 has a pretty heavy herringbone weave...if you pick up my jacket its pretty hefty (not overly heavy)...this years Aero feels a lot less durable. Now I know weight and thickness is an oldschool mindset regarding durability and warmth...but this is just what I noticed. Anyone else notice that?
