Aero VS S.M. B-10's

[fishmeok]

Here's some comparison shots of the two jackets:

Aero on top:

Material differences- the Aero almost has a flannel feel to it, the S.M. has a more realistic outershell. Aero on top again:

Liner- Aero has the S.M. beat. The Aero liner has the right weight and feel, while the S.M. is a little too long and puffy.

Zip- about even, advantage goes to Aero though. I like the knits on the S.M. better, but I just like the contrasting color. Aero always on top:

And fit: Aero drapes properly, but has the overlong shoulders and oversize fit. The S.M. is a better fit, but has a little too much bulk. I'm going with the S.M. here, it just plain fits me better.
Aero:

S.M.

There's something about the pockets on that Aero that I just don't like.

They aren't in the right place (too high)?

Yeah, I agree. Accurate or no, the SM knocks spots off the Aero IMHO.
