Arc'teryx Sentinel AR - Women's vs Helly Hansen Alpha 3.0

Needs improvements. Cell phone pocket is way too small. I have the iPhone 13 max. If they are going to create a phone pocket shouldn’t it be able to hold such a popular phone? The protective padding moves around

It's graphite blue. It's so hard to find a jacket that's cool and dark but isn't black. So graphite blue and I love the fluorescent accents on the zip...
