Helikon-Tex GUNFIGHTER Jacket Shark Skin Windblocker OD Green

The Helikon-Tex Gunfighter Jacket Shark Skin Windblocker OD Green is a high-quality tactical softshell jacket designed for military personnel, police officers, security guards, airsoft players and outdoor enthusiasts who want to combine protection against wind and light rain with maximum freedom of movement. The lightweight fleece lining provides extra warmth without making the jacket feel heavy, making it perfect as an outer layer in changeable weather conditions.

Although the Gunfighter looks like a normal outdoor jacket, it has been designed with professional users in mind. Its clever construction, durable materials and practical storage options make it suitable for both intensive tactical use and everyday wear.

SharkSkin softshell with Windblocker technology

The jacket is made from SharkSkin softshell, a supple 4-way stretch fabric that moves with you in all directions. This allows you to move freely without the fabric pulling or restricting your movements. What’s more, SharkSkin makes hardly any noise when you move, which is ideal when discretion is important.

The integrated Windblocker membrane provides effective protection against wind and light rain, whilst offering excellent breathability of 8,000 g/m²/24 hours. This ensures that heat and perspiration are efficiently wicked away during intense activities.

The outer surface features a hydrophobic coating that repels dirt and moisture. This helps the jacket stay clean for longer and ensures it retains its protective properties even with prolonged use.

Developed for operational use

The Gunfighter Jacket features a fold-away hood that tucks neatly into the collar and can be quickly unfolded thanks to a two-way zip. The hood is adjustable and offers plenty of room to wear comfortably over a cap or headset.

Under the arms there are ventilation zips with mesh panels that allow excess heat to be quickly released during physical activity.

The anatomical fit supports natural movements, whilst reinforced elbows enhance durability in areas subject to heavy wear. Adjustable Velcro cuffs provide a snug fit and minimise the ingress of cold wind.

Seven practical storage compartments

The Gunfighter features seven functional pockets, ensuring that essential kit is always within easy reach without hindering access to a belt or plate carrier.

The two spacious chest pockets are fitted with internal organisers and D-rings for small accessories such as maps, notepads or spare magazines. In addition, the jacket features a spacious inside pocket with a Velcro fastening, two shoulder pockets with cable grommets for communication equipment, a forearm pocket for EDC gear and a large full-length back pocket.

The durable YKK® two-way zip at the front also makes it easy to quickly access equipment carried on the belt.
