Trail 11/08 Precip Jacket

The Precip is a modern classic, thanks to its great price and features that make it ideal for those traveling light and fast in almost any activity. The Precip is made from an extremely waterproof fabric, while mesh pockets and pit zips improve condensation control, which is worth having when biking or running. The front zip also gets a double stormflap to improve water resistance in the worst weather. The Precip is an average length for this type of jacket with a slightly scooped tail to protect the back when biking. Movement in the sleeves is very good and it’s easy to access to the two cavernous chest pockets while wearing a rucksack. The hood can be rolled into the collar, which is ideal for bikers, runners, and climbers, and on the head movement of the hood is good too. Verdict: If you’ve got just £70 to spend and want a lightweight jacket for running, biking, climbing and hiking this is great.
