I just received my jacket from BCountry. I thought the 3 layer pro shell were a thicker material. I was expecting the same material as the ArcTeryx Alpha SV but instead it felt more like a 2 layer pro-shell. Is there any way to confirm this?

I was a bit disappointed that this jacket was made in China but then again, what can you expect now a days?

Also, it's too bad they don't use a thicker material around the shoulder much like the westcomb cruiser jackets.
