Lack of pockets is a bit annoying however it has a double zip so whilst its not the easiest to do whilst riding, it does take a second to unzip from the bottom and reach your jersey pockets.
Other than this, its one of my absolute favourite pieces of cycling kit. Makes a big difference to warmth. This morning I wore a short sleeve jersey, the brevet insulated jacket and a winter windblock jersey over the top, it was -1 and I had to unzip both a bit as I was too hot.

As I get a bit older I find myself getting increasingly cold on long rides. Particularly bad after a cafe stop. I have been looking at the Rapha Pro Team Training Jacket, and Brevet Insulated Jacket as potential Christmas investments to keep my hands on the feeling side of numb. Already doubling up base layers and don't want to wear too many layers as it becomes quite ungainly.
Ideally I don't want to ride around in ninja black, and unfortunately the pro team insulated jacket appears to be all but sold out. I'm erring towards the Brevet jacket in that case, but am slightly put off by the lack of standard pockets. Any thoughts on which would be a preferable winter outer layer?
