You should ask why they made it without pockets. Laughing

Ponders SG

it actually can have pockets, but cost will just shoot up.

Gore-tex jackets cannot be sewn, every joints must be patched with another Gore-tex membrane with glue. If the join is sewn, then it must be patched.

As for Gore-tex material, all Gore-tex jacket use the same materials as any other rain jacket (Nylon), the only difference is the membrane layer.

The shell is Nylon. The Gore-tex is Polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE) membrane.

be could it be wore as windbreaker?

Ponders SG

depends on your expectations..

an additional layer always increases your protection against wind/cold.

but it will not be as good as purpose built windbreaker.

Wow, new generation SAF soldier is lucky. You have Gore Tex now. When I went to Taiwan in the winter, we were issued smelly and mouldy padded winter jackets. THey are not waterproof. ANd when they get wet, it is difficult to dry. End up smelling of old damp clothes !

i've used it here in tokyo against 3 typhoons. keeps you dry, and surprisingly, warm too. so warm that i sometimes grab the goretex instead of a sweater/jacket. not as heavy and easier to take off.
