Blue Wave 12' x 24' 8-Year Oval Above Ground Pool Winter Cover

Every fall I cover my pool and order a new one for next fall, because I toss the old one when I open the pool in the spring. So I had a Blue Wave I ordered last fall (2024) and opened it this fall to cover my pool and was immediately impressed with it compared to all the covers I've had. It has a rather heavy lamination so you can hardly see the scrim, really well made. So after covering the pool ordered the EXACT same cover, same item number, same size, same warranty. It gets delivered and the box is the same as last years, but I notice it's not as heavy. I look at the empty box, and the weight is 27%23. Look at the new one and it's 24.07%23. I haven't open it but I bet they cut back on the heavy lamination
