Good jacket; tiny, tiny flaws

By George Crain Ranked #208 - Men's Fleece Jackets May 29, 2008

I have this MH vest and like it a lot. It works very, very well, and I've been very impressed by it. The Windstopper fabric works quite well.
This MH Windstopper jacket worked very well for me in extremely cold, windy, and just-a-little wet conditions in Oklahoma. It was quite warm with a capilene 3 layer beneath it. It also worked well for me in merely cold conditions in Colorado and Eastern Utah (temps in the 20s and 30s).
However, I returned the jacket after a few weeks. My only nit-picky issues were 1) the pockets were a little funky, and my cell phone and wallet kept falling out (ie, there was no "space" or "lip" between the zipper and the back of the pocket); and 2) the color of the jacket (on-sale for a very good Backcountry.com price) was the exact same color as my MH vest.
Yes, these are both extremely minor issues. Nevertheless, I returned it. Honestly, I will probably buy it again, but only after they fix the pockets. And when the black jacket goes on sale.
It gets five stars, except for the pockets.
Highest marks to MH.
