Good points @exteroceptive - yes to the ‘lip’(?) to stop stuff falling out, and double-zippers are as polarising as ever. I think it’d be possible to remove out the lower slider with snips, close any open coil teeth, and use it as a single slider (plus you’d lower that lip by 10mm).
Some people are into it, but looks like they will revert to single on next gen…

I've been meaning to ask about the Zoa pockets. I love the jacket, have basically worn it every day since it arrived (with a backpack..)
But I don't really get the pockets. The zips are sort of foreshortened in that they don't reach the bottom of the pocket itself, so it's not comfortable to rest your hands inside them as the weight of your hands is pulling down on the end of the zip run. I guess this is some kind of strategy to stop things falling out. But the jacket itself is so low-profile that keeping things in the pockets (eg gloves) distorts the shape quite a bit, so I wouldn't really do that anyway. And then there's the double ended zips!? Not sure when that would ever be useful, they're a repeated cause of confusion while riding, especially when wearing gloves - something you'd expect with a cold weather jacket.
Otherwise brilliant. It gets a lot of use, possibly too much.
