Are there any decent windshirts with multiple pockets? I need somewhere to put my fidgety hands.

You might go browsing on ebay for something and get a few more ideas from the Faux-dini thread.

There aren’t a ton of options, Windveil as Dave C mentions as well as the similar Cirrus, the feathered friends Jackorack, and Montbell has 2 or three.

No sorry, I own three of the Fauxs and no pockets.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thanks all. I’ll look into the Rab and Montbell stuff.</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>I want this to look OK for daily use and I haven’tĀ  sewn much more than a button, so I’d prefer the pockets come with the coat.</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>I do haveĀ  “Jack Wolfskin” fauxdini (no pockets on mine either) for backpacking….could be an interesting starter project.</p>

Thing is most windshirts don’t come with pockets and most shell parkas do. Perhaps you would find it easier to find an UL shell parka?

The Feathered Friends Epic Jackorak was the best all-around shell jacket I’ve ever used. Huge pit zips, nice pockets, great hood, long hem, terrific wind shirt fabric (Nextec Epic). “Heavy” at 8 oz or so but my goodness, that was one of the few jackets I actually wore out. The nearly-perfect mountain shell.

The Rab Windveil is a mighty good substitute, and lighter. But hard. to. find.

+1 on the epic Jackorak. Ā That was an amazing piece of kit and one of my very favorite shells. Ā Haven’t tried the new pertex endurance Jackorack but it is on sale from time to time for $79 iirc. Ā Almost pulled the trigger a couple of times but I have a couple Houdinis from 2011, one with lots of life left and one brand new.

Unfortunately Feathered Friends no longer makes the Jackorack. ‘Twas a great windshirt, I used to have one.

Anyone know CFM of Rab Windveil?

Also, the female version has stiffened visor while men’s version has simple gathered sack face opening. I wonder why? The brim/visor would seem especially useful in a windshirt with high water-resistance.
