I'm the opposite: In sub-30 degree weather is especially care about back pockets, because A) I'm wearing gloves; and B) I definitely don't want to have to unzip my jacket to get into whatever pockets my other layers may have. And I want technical fabrics that breath and wick because the last thing I want in sub-freezing temps is to be wet.
