So today I stopped off at a local ski shop to take a look at the jackets they had on sale. And I found one from The North Face that I absolutely loved. It consisted of an outer shell and a down zip-in liner that could be worn as a separate. Fit well, looked good, met all the specs -- except for one. Pockets. Aside from two hand pockets on the shell and two hand pockets in the liner jacket, there were no other pockets. At all. No chest pocket, no interior zip pocket, no goggle pocket. Nothing. So sadly, I passed.
So what's up with the absence of pockets? I mean, this jacket in particular was not cheap, even on sale. If it had the pockets, it would have been worth it. Without them, no.
Such a simple feature to leave out.
So where do you stand on the pocket issue? What pockets can't you do without?
