Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your windbreaker remains effective, utilize the adjustable hem and hood cords to seal the jacket when the wind picks up. For care, always check the garment label for specific instructions, but generally, use a gentle machine cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the water-repellent coating. Hang the jacket to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the water-repellent finish.
