You'll get used to it in no time and your hands will learn where to find the zipper pull...mine did.

They're up there on purpose so they won't be under your harness.Also, the higher pockets allow access when wearing a pack. additionally you can access them through pit zips on a hardshell so you don't have to go in through the front zip, again, mostly applicable when wearing a pack. If you want traditional "hand warmer" pockets look at the Gamma MX or Easyrider (warmer fleece inside)
