Well the prereq is actually that you don't have lots of multiple layers of fabric. So no big waterproof bags on the chest as per the usual.
Two potential correct answers to that, one of which is simply not having many pockets! The other is putting a storm flap on the pocket zips. Both very easy to do, and keep the jacket waterproof.
What they've done here with exposed YKK zips and mesh pockets is simply not a good idea at all and certainly merits a mention. Although maybe ME's firefox has the same problem? The firelight doesn't of course.
