You possibly want pockets if you mean for the gilet to be part of the layers you keep on the entire trip. The Skylon material which gives women's cycling vest with pockets the gilet its name (and also a whiff of 50's nostalgia, go Google it kids) has a somewhat rubbery feeling, a little bit like latex workshop handwear covers.

Material thickness and degree of ventilation differs a lot between gilets, so you can choose one that's finest fit to your demands. Van Rysel has achieved this by eliminating pockets and also having a thinner, extra breathable mesh back.
