Functionally kinda cool. Design wise... not my preference. Especially since for many jackets of this style, storage wise, it's basically trading the arm insert pockets for the two tiny inner pockets.
I have a few jackets/vests where the pocket lining fabric allows you to basically have an inner pocket that can basically fit a 2L bottle. Really useful to have a pocket you can basically put a small water bottle, magazine or a bunch of papers without folding it down as much. Similar to the arm inserts, it also potentially could have been used as a slot to put in an optional fibre insert to protect the torso from a frontal attack.
It does give me some ideas on how to potentially modify some of my jackets to improve the functionality of my 3 in 1 jackets with the removable liner/inner jacket such as adding Molle or PALS to support the pockets or hidden inner chest pocket for certain small valuables/tools.
