Is the inner pocket waterproof? I need to find a good shell that has a completely secure/waterproof pocket for my iphone. Last winter I ruined a phone with it in a chest pocket when it became soaked from my own perspiration. Nothing got in from the outside, but the pocket wasn't protected from the inside-out. Any idea if there is a pocket suitable on this jacket for an electronic device?

Never trust a "waterproof" zipper!!! They are weather resistant but do leak during extensive rain. I'd use a ziplock plastic cover for any electronics if there's a chance of rain.

I always put my wallet and cell phone in a little zip lock bag in the pocket if I think there is a chance of them getting wet. Has not failed me yet!

The inside pockets arent waterproof on this jacket, but im sure the pocket on the left sleeve would be perfect for an iphone. it will be it dry for sure because its surrounded by gore-tex and has a waterproof zipper on it.
