Huh. That's not the case with Castelli. In fact the Podio jersey, which is my all-around racing and training jersey has a dropped pocket that extends below the hem. It fits better and it holds all sorts of stuff. I've gone out with phone, key, a small ziploc with ID, CC, and money, an epi-pen, armwarmers, and gloves. Oh and a gel.
As for tubes and repair kit, I use a saddle bag.
