question about the arm pocket: is it actually useful? or is marmot just trying to copy arcteryx's style of putting pockets on the upper arm of EVERYTHING. in fact, does anyone know why arcteryx does that? is it for some specific purpose, or just style?

Several ski resorts are now putting a chip in their lift tickets/season passes and the sensors at the gates to get on the ski lifts are roughly shoulder height. I have a couple of jackets with this pocket for my pass and it works like a charm.

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 anything else small that I might need to get out a little more often. They're useful for that in my opinion.
