Saga 10/11 outerwear

are next years jackets any more insulated? im guessing this "three layer" talk is just talking about the three different colours on tims pro model
 
Here's a short explanation from the gore-tex website:
- 2-layer construction: a specific GORE-TEX® membrane is laminated to the inside of the outer material. The inside of the membrane is protected by a separate lining- 2-layer insulated construction: the heat-insulation layer is is suspended freely between the 2-layer laminate and inside lining- 3-layer construction: a specific high-performance GORE-TEX® membrane bonded to a tough outer material and a specially developed robust inner lining[/list]
And here's some more info from the Sweet Protection pages.
3-LAYER vs. 2-LAYER GORE-TEX® GARMENTSAll GORE-TEX® outerwear comes in two different constructions; 3-layer and 2-layer. Both provide reliable and effective protection against the elements; totally waterproof, totally windproof and highly breathable. Special Gore-seam® tape technology ensures all seams are 100% waterproof. Here’s a quick look at the differences between the two constructions:
3-layer GORE-TEX® garmentsIn the 3-layer design, the GORE-TEX® membrane is bonded to the (inside) lining on one side, and to a breathable and abrasion resistant outer fabric on the other (outside). The result is a sandwich of three fabrics, hence the name 3-layer construction, bonded together in a single, tough layer.
Benefits: 3-layer GORE-TEX® fabric’s sandwich-style construction provides enhanced breathability and durability. It’s the favorite among advanced users, and used in our top of the line clothing. It’s also lighter than 2-layer GORE-TEX® fabric, since it requires no additional free-hanging liner.
Considerations: The 3-layer construction is slightly stiffer and less subtle than 2-layer. It normally feels a little “crunchier”
2-layer GORE-TEX ® garments In the 2-layer construction, the GORE-TEX® membrane is bonded to a breathable and abrasion resistant outer fabric. The lining remains loose and is there to protect the GORE-TEX® membrane from abrasion.
Benefits: 2-layer garments are warmer, softer and with a more comfortable feel. On 2-layer garments it’s also easier to implement more details.
Considerations: 2-layer GORE-TEX® garments will normally have a higher RET (evaporative resistance of a textile) value. (Lower RET = better breathability). 2-layer garments are also slightly heavier than 3-layer garments.
Although both all of this is specifically Gore-Tex related, the principles are the same for other manufacturers..
 
is durtschi wearing next years saga on the new pics from sagas website? it looks like the vader suit but if you look closely you can see a different logo on the back, the one where angus is in it. it also looks like some blue lining on the inside unless thats a shirt underneath, but IMO it looks like next years black suit.
