Hi: I am interested in either the Stinger or the Sidewinder AR jackets. My biggest question is the location of the side pockets. The pockets on the Sidewinder appear to be placed slightly lower than the Stinger pockets, at least from the pictures. Is this true? Both products appear to have lower pockets than many of the other jackets. Is this true? I do not plan to use the jackets with a harness or pack, and would prefer pockets that are more comfortable to rest my hands in. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Stinger pockets are placed higher than the sidewinder pockets. Your hands will rest more comfortably n the sidewinder for sure. Both are great jackets, some other features to look at are the zippers, the stinger has the waterproof vislon (which is super smooth) and the sidewinder zipper is not for everyone. The napoleon pocket on the sidewinder is very useful (great place to stash sunglasses or your phone. Lastly the stinger comes quite high in the chin area is a cut a tad longer. Hope this helps.

You're right that the Sidewinder's pockets are slightly lower, but both jackets still have high pockets. They're very technical jackets, neither will be especially comfortable wandering around town with your hands in your pockets.
