As a user of these coats, who field-tests what I sell, I feel you've taken
the best of these coats and combined it into one.   The handwarmer pockets
everybody thinks is such a plus, just fill with water; they're not on the
originals, and I've always looked for the features you've described for the
same reasons.  I don't sell coats anymore.  The only oilskins worth having
are Outback Trading Co. or Australian Connection, but they cost $200..  Judy
