Do your thigh pockets have any sort of an internal sleeve or divider to keep a cell phone in place?
Alternatively have you considered a drop-in pocket like in some carpenter's pants these days?
That's about my favorite place to keep a phone for navigation and photos.
I do like the thigh pockets as you have shown on at least one side: I often put gloves in them while I do fine motor tasks.
My ideal mid season pant would have a doubled knee and seat
I don't have much of a use for hip vents myself, pants I've had with them didn't seem like much of a benefit and I find myself not touching them. That said I don't think I've had any as big as you have shown. I like the look of them and glad they don't go past the knee like stone glacier. I'd be real worried the zipper would bunch up and rub.
I'm with lots of other folks: I have no use for chest pockets on baselayers or midlayers. It's covered up by the bino pouch and even if not if every layer has a chest pocket in it I start to not remember which layer has the doodad in it as I add and subtract.
Fingers crossed for a 36" inseam!
The fleece is the least inspiring to me: that feels like a pretty crowded market that'd be hard to stand out in.
Also would you please consider making a sun hoodie that includes tall sizes!? for the life of me REI seems to be the only reputable brand that has something in that option. Eddie bauer, columbia, and L.L. bean sort of do but they're either out of stock, don't have a decent anti-stink, atrocious noisy branding, and/or boxy terrible fit.
