"strange oversight" - Review of Arc'teryx Fugitive Hooded Jacket - Men's

I like outdoor clothing that is both functional and great looking - so you can wear it for a hike and then out at night in town. That's why I paid so much for this jacket. But here's a strange thing - the two front pockets are made out of mesh, so they offer no protection from the wind and cold that come up from the bottom (and there is no waist cinch to tighten it up around your waist) So the wind and cold comes up from the bottom and your hands freeze! It is really annoying not to be able to put your hands in your pockets to warm them up. I find this a very strange oversight by the designers, and it bothers me every time i wear the jacket, so I find I haven't been wearing it as much as my normal cotton hoodies, which keep my hands warmer. Too bad.
