Plus, slimline jackets are not necessarily the roomiest of clothing, and whilst I've enough give in mine to ski comfortably, I don't fancy cramming stuff into pockets.


I am totally in agreement with Jocrad :)

The 2 main reasons I have one is so I can have a water bladder and also to put goggles in. Unlike you Mr W, I do in fact fall over, and I am sure to land on my goggles and squish them.

iphone
Cash
Credit cards/Wallet
Hip Flask
Goggles

That lip stuff

All that stuff is all light and thin and I still have empty pockets ..... the skill of it is, is putting the same things back in the same pockets so you all ways know where everything is and so I am not one of thoses plonkers in the mountain restaurants who can't find their wallets and hold up the queue searching every pocket for their cash. :thumbup:
