Yes, you may very well be right about boot construction. Unfortunately I cannot afford to be a high-tech outdoors apparel beta tester. I am economically compelled to choose "the bird in my hand".
In the case of the SP jackets, I was fairly confident that several visible large holes would ventilate better than thousands of theoretical, invisible microscopic ones.
