This jacket is exactly what I hoped for in a tactical jacket. It is warm, lightweight for its design and has excellent fit. The picture is misleading in the sleeves as the picture shows a zip pocket on both sleeves by the wrist. There is only one on the left side. The hood is huge allowing for multiple options on adding extra insulation. I have not tested the water-resistance, but based on my experience with shell fabrics, I believe it will do fine. One reviewer said there were no hand pockets which is not true. True to designs of this style and in keeping with insulating features of adding hand warmers, the pockets at the chest area ARE the hand pockets. These are deep and one feature not mentioned is each pocket is equipped with D-rings for securing small items.<br /><br />The waist and hood are equipped with cordage for gathering to make a more secure fit against the elements. There are inside pockets for ID's and for small items. Realize that this is not a pack, but a jacket and it's designed that way. No bulk, but you can feel the warmth. The sleeve ends are secured with velcro that is widely adaptable. Very nice jacket and I highly recommend to anyone seeking a quality tactical jacket with minimal bulk. Freedom of movement is extraordinary. I would definitely buy again.
