Cuffless Shift Welder

I bought the Backcountry shift welder and used it for the first time three weeks ago in Alaska. I hadn't really even looked at it carefully after getting it. It rained like crazy in Alaska and everything about the jacket performed well except the cuffs. There were no closures of any sort on the cuffs. Also, there is a weird black patch on the cuff. I don't know what it is supposed to do or why it's there. I also bought my daughter a women's stoic jacket and it has velcro cuff closures. How can you make a shell with no cuff closures on the shift welder? Further, the black patches soaked up water, which lead to the sleeve getting wet on the inside. In fact, because the wind blew rain sideways up the sleeves, my arms were wet to my elbows. I'd love for you to add velcro closures and get rid of the black patch, which doesn't seem to serve any useful purpose. Could you explain?
