Result Performance R96 Trekking/Training Jacket 2008

£70.00

LFTO rating
Owners' rating

The Result Performance R96 Trekking/Training Jacket features reflective piping; removable hood rolls into collar; mesh lining; pit zips aid ventilation; dedicated map pocket; double stormflap over main zip. But 822g (L) makes this multi-activity jacket too heavy for fast mountain action; hip pocket access easily obscured by rucksack belts; hood is terrible

Verdict
For simply walking the Result Performance R96 Trekking/Training Jacket may be okay, but even then there are better jackets .
