dumb chest pocket

By pmi3152367 January 9, 2011

I bought a previous year's version of this Windwall 2 and love it. This year's version, unfortunately, has taken the zippered pocket off the sleeve (a genius idea IMO) and put it on the chest. Bad move. What woman wants the bulge of her cell phone, keys, etc. on her chest? Not me. I returned it. Yes, it has 2 'normal' pockets for your hands at about waist level, but the sleeve pocket was perfect for credit cards, small cell phones, etc. and I was less likely to drop something in the sleeve pocket vs. the regular hand pockets because I wasn't trying to keep my hands warm in the sleeve pocket. Also, the bordeaux red color reminds me not of a rich deep red but more of a raspberry sherbet. On the upside, the cut is very flattering (which is a lot of what I love about the original) and the lining is nicer than the Windwall 1. I ended up buying the Windwall 1 instead because it doesn't have the dumb chest pocket, but has the same feminine cut. Unfortunately the Windwall 1 doesn't have as nice a lining, but it wasn't a deal killer.
