First off, I wouldn't buy this jacket in white again.  It gets really discolored around the pockets, which I pack with weight-lifting gloves, reading glasses, and house keys when I go to the gym.  Doesn't come completely clean in cold water.  Otherwise, I like it, though the fit of the sleeves is a little awkward at times.  Works great just as a vest, with the pocket in the back serving to hold the sleeves.  What I really like about the back pocket, though, is that I can put my magazines back there when I walk the mile to my gym.  That was an unexpected bonus about the design.  I have had to get used to not being able to tie the jacket around my waist easily when I don't want any coverup.  I do that alot, especially when leaving the gym.  The magnets won't hold the vest when the sleeves are tied around your waist!  Minor point, though.
