[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 134199, member: 337"] You sure they are true holes? I think many makers thermally bond - rather than stitch - their fabric laminates together. Those "holes" are likely spots where the fuzzy lofting was fused/melted to bond it to the other layers - thus those spots became transparent. Still great thermal properties compared to non thermal but you'll see little tiny frost spots grow where those "holes" are. NorpacR2 (Canvascraft and a couple others use it) is truly quilted layers with stitching and minor pinholes here/there. Darn near perfect light block. No better material out there IMO.
