Just wanted to follow up since I mentioned that the Patagonia deep wading jacket has felt lined hand warming pockets. I just got the latest version and realized that it does not have felt lined hand warming pockets like my older version but instead has very large zippered pockets in place of the hand warming ones, so there are 4 total zippered pockets, 2 which are huge. The cuffs are also not rubberized like the previous version and the main front zipper is not water proof but does have a storm flap. I think Patagonia made some cost saving updates. I still think it will be a very functional jacket but it will likely be a long while before this new version replaces my old.
