I for one, am so stoked that they got rid of three-layer. All their 3L stuff that they made since after 2010 just looked so awkward and honestly, most kids who ride the Anomie ski at a resort anyways, so do we really need 3L and 20K waterproofing? I do not think so. Good move Saga, plus they still have the 3L Monarch with 20k waterproofing so if you really need it/care that much, you still have an option that works for you.
