Mimi- what don't you like about the pockets. According to showers pass, the only difference is:

"The primary difference from Elite 2.0 model: The 2.0 jacket has a Napoleon pocket on the left front breast and the back pocket is welded instead of sewn and seam-taped."

The old one is CHEAPER and you can get it here on TE. I don't care about the breast pocket, but I do want a back pocket to hold a cell phone and keys. Will last years model do that? It sounds so from the above description.

I also read all the great reviews posted here using the search function, so I am inclined to go with the showers pass elite in a small.

I should add that Susan is being amazing about this. I ordered another jacket back in june in a medium, but then I lost a lot of weight (30 lbs!) and now its too big and she is still letting me exchange it, so I really do want to buy something she stocks now. And I have to say that the way this gal does business really makes me want to continue to do business with her. That jacket comparison chart she put up is so helpful.
