One feature I like is mesh inside my pit zips. Helps keep snow out
when you do a tumble. Not a deal breaker, though if you want you can
have a seamstress put them in. For that matter I've had complete pit
zips put into jackets that were otherwise fantastic deals. Also hoods
detached, etc (depends how things are made to start with). Sometimes
stores will even give you the name of the shop they deal with for
their in store repairs -you tend to get good work and good prices
which is why the store deals with them. If they do a lot of
sportswear, some even are equiped to tape seams, but they tend to be
pricier shops. Dosn't hurt to find one though in case you need
something repaired in a hurry.

Yeah, I did think it odd that this jacket doesn't have mesh in the pits.
I guess I'll just try it a few times and see what I think.
