If its used as a true midlayer (i.e. under a larger puffy jacket/parka or a shell), your pockets are going to be on those garments. Also, because of the lightweight nature of the jacket, anything you put in the pockets may compromise the insulation (by smashing it). Ian's right - if you want to cut ounces and don't mind the lack of pockets, this one is great.

Howdy, I've used this basically every day for 4 months on my Appalachian Trail thru-hike. I will say, it was unfortunate that there aren't any pockets, but if you want pockets, the therma-wrap has them and is a tad bit warmer. It's not as light, but thats the one my buddy uses and he loves it. As for durability, I've stuffed it in the sack and pulled it out everyday and there hasn't been any issues. The only issue was a little burn hole -- but that was my fault. Awesome jacket, I HIGHLY recommend it if you need to save some ounces and don't mind no pockets.
