This was a gift to replace one that my dog ate the pocket of (I tend to leave treats in my pockets--oops) but recipient has been happy with it. Initially I wanted a solid color, but they all had cream color sherpa, and I preferred a darker color. Settled on the red heather color jacket & am very happy with the color as is the gift recipient. Pockets are big enough to hold a cell phone. Zipper has not been used yet, so can't comment on that. Would buy again, maybe if the dog eats the other pocket from the old jacket, i will get myself one of these!
