i have a question about arcteryx's upper arm pocket that they seem to put on EVERYTHING: is the arm pocket actually useful, or is it just a style thing? because i also notice that they just like putting pockets in weird places, such as on their beanies, and on their scarves... does anybody know?

I've got both jackets, well I actually swapped my arc' for this marmot and used the arm pocket for the same things. I use them for smaller maps, maybe a compass as well or a ski pass, or anything else small that I might need to get out a little more often. They're useful for that in my opinion. As for the pockets in beanies, scarves etc. I think that's more of a marketing thing personally. Can't seem to think of anything that those would be useful for.Credit cards, Cash and Condoms...I use the arm pocket for lift tickest on electronic systems. Works great for that. Those other pockets are really of no use and I agree with Steve, probably marketing
