Why do you need magnets on a jacket?
Can't speak to how they're used on other jackets, but on the soft-shell gilet the one of the rear pockets has magnets.
It seems like a pretty good idea so that if it rains you have an easily accessible pocket with a flap over it to protect it from the elements.
I'll be curious to see how I rate the ones on the neck collar though.

Don't get the fuss about most of the Vulpine stuff, though the socks are lovely - just buy a size or two up since they shrink a lot in the wash, even at 30 degrees.
I've also bought their down-ish jacket, which is quite nice for a warm, sling it in the bag sort of jacket.
Most of the stuff looks like it belongs in the Boden catalogue at best though. Over-designed too. Why do you need magnets on a jacket?
