just got this jacket. noticed that the wind flap behind the main zipper is a little bit of narrow. I just compared this with my wife's Venta SV. The wind flap on women's version is significantly wider to cover the main zipper very well. The wind flap on mine just covers the main zipper with about only 3 millimeter beyond the main zipper. Is it a version difference (men's vs women's) or I got something with defect?

Mine as well. Looks like arcteryx is cutting away excess fabric to reduce bulk/weight and make some clean lines. No idea why the womens is wider (i notice her jackets have wider windflaps on a few different models as well.
