I love the look and feel of the jacket. The size recommender initially told me to get a small but that was too big; sized down for an XS and it fits great. With both sizes I'll say the pocket placement on the side pockets and chest warmer pockets is awkward at best and virtually un-useable at worst. The chest warmer pockets are especially difficult to get to and take a concerted effort to resnap the buttons. You have to reach back to get your hands in the side pockets and wayyyy back to get into the chest warmers. It doesn't feel natural to use either.
Love the giant interior dump pockets, the pen holder, and the breast pocket. Haven't used the rear hidden pocket, but I imagine it'd be good for a soft sided water bottle for a hike or maps or a notebook. Also really like that it feels sturdy, like a proper jacket with the sleeves rolled down and snapped, but you can roll them up easily to cool off and it doesn't look overly bulky.
I want to give 5 stars, but the side pockets and chest warmers are too much of a negative to ignore. Really hope to see a 2.0 of this to address those issues.
