Striker Hardwater coat

On the Hardwater coats there's flaps that look like they're for pockets at the top of the chest where the material colors change, was was wondering if they are pockets or if the flaps are covering vents.

I'm thinking they are pockets but I'm not sure because of the description that you mentioned and it would make sense to have flaps to cover the vent sippers.
