Result Clothing Alaska 3 In 1 Jacket R099X

Rating:

Member of a Search & Rescue Team. I chose the Result Clothing Alaska 3 In 1 Jacket R099X based on its design, pocket allocation, length, wearability options, its pocket accommodation for Radio, Satmap, mobile phones, maps etc etc.In the field this garment has proved to be a huge disappointment when worn for only 2 hrs.either as an outer alone, or with the zipped inner fleece, for a singular reason: the outer garment does not 'breath' due to its outer fabric & composite lining. After 2 hrs. in the field it has to be removed as a singular garment & huge amounts of built up condensation literally sponged off the inner lining! If worn with the inner fleece, this has to be removed, rung out and the fleece hung out to dry!The problem with this garment is simply breathability of the fabric which it is made from & its waterproofing treatment, and the fact that the lining is composite and not mesh, in order that the garment can breath. The manufacture is excellent and what I have come to expect from B.K., and the service from the company of the same high standard, but 'sorry' 'Result', this particular garment is simply not suitable for operational purposes.
