Helikon Gunfighter Softshell Shark Skin Windblocker Jacket - Black

Unrestrictive, made of stretchy modern SharkSkin fabric, the softshell hooded jacket is fleece-lined on the inside and on the collar. On the outside, the jacket is coated with DuPont Teflon to protect against dirt and light rain.

 The jacket is equipped with seven pockets:
- two chest ones closed with zippers,
- two on the sleeves at shoulder height,
- one on the left sleeve above the wrist,
- one inner pocket closed with Velcro,
- one so-called poaching pocket - on the back under the cross with two independent accesses - from the right and left side.

Breathability of the jacket is 8000 g/m2, which prevents excessive sweating.

The jacket on both shoulders has sewn-in Velcro panels allowing to attach any patches or emblems, such as the national flag, unit emblem or so-called Morale Patches, thanks to which you can give the jacket an individual character.

The hood tucked into the collar is spacious enough to wear over a head already protected by a cap. It has a soft visor that protects the wearer from water running directly onto the face. The hood is sewn to the collar in such a way that the lining does not expose the neck. In this way, the wearer is not exposed to the wind through particularly sensitive areas.

The sleeves from the wrist to the elbow have been reinforced with durable material, while the elastic cuffs have been replaced with a Velcro fastening patch. This makes it possible to adjust the size depending on the thickness of the wrist, as well as whether the wearer is also wearing gloves or a watch, for example.

Branches, leaves and other elements of the forest undergrowth do not adhere to the jacket, which is the case with fleeces. The material is characterized by elasticity in all directions. The zippers are made by the well-known Japanese YKK company.

Helikon Gunfighter jacket is one of the most recognizable softshells in the assortment of Militaria.pl store. It is used by soldiers and special units. It works great on cooler, rainy days, and even in winter - when you put a lightweight fleece underneath. Among other things, you have two chest pockets, which, because of their positioning, allow your hands to rest during a long march.
