Hacksaw, all good points.

I agree with your assessment of the collar size. I can't complaint about the water resistance of the flaps or the pockets. I have the titanium version, so maybe that's why your vents aren't in the arms? I have to say that the older style with the velcro flap seemed more sealed against the elements than the newer snap version I have. But I suppose a motorcycle jacket actually NEEDS high pressure resistance to water. I can't think of any time I've really needed that for ED-wear.

The pocket placement seems to be different between your coat and mine. The outer shell has two large pockets and one over the left breast. Then you have access to the 2 inner liner pockets which are both rather big.
