Love the pockets. However, the opening for the upper left zippered pocket is a bit small. I keep my cellphone in there and when I reach in I have difficulty pulling my hand out with the phone.If you are medium, get a small. Great quality, love it.Believe it or not the first Charles River jacket I bought was purchased at a yard sale. The thing was so strong and durable and warm I couldn't kill it! So I hunted until I found more. Totally satisfied with this jacket. I wouldn't wear it for a fancy dress ball (I'm female, by the way), but for working in the yard, riding my bike, etc. it's perfect.I got a gray one for around 20 bucks and for that price it’s a steal. Warm but lightweight.Another great jacket from Charles River Apparel.Much softer then I would have through both inside and out. Also thicker then I thought. Won't keep me warm in the dead of winter but I will get a lot of use out of it this fall.Nice jacket
