I noticed that too and I assume it is to save weight. It seems like TNF aimed to make the lightest jacket possible with this one, and I guess they had to cutback everywhere they could. If that's the case, then I'm happy with their decision since weight is my greatest concern in a jacket. Even the cinch chord dongles are made tiny. I guess a couple of grams saved here and there add up. They also used fabric that's so light, the down can apparently sometimes show through it in the light (although I never was able to actually see this -I have it in black). That being said, I also find that this jacket fits and looks great overall, which helps make any weight cutbacks tolerable.

I don't know why they decided to do them that way but it's kind of a bummer. It's the only Summit Series down jacket that's like that. The thunder and crimptastic both have embroidered signage. I just sent my Elysium back in favor of the Crimptastic.
