Helikon-Tex GUNFIGHTER Jacket Shark Skin Windblocker Shadow Grey

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

Despite its subtle and modern look, the Gunfighter is designed for professional use. Its clever construction, durable materials and practical layout make this jacket suitable for both operational deployment and everyday use.

SharkSkin softshell with Windblocker technology

The Gunfighter Jacket is made from SharkSkin softshell, a supple 4-way stretch fabric that moves with you in all directions. This means the jacket offers optimum freedom of movement without the fabric pulling or restricting your movements. Furthermore, SharkSkin remains silent whilst you move, which is a key advantage during tactical or outdoor activities.

The integrated Windblocker membrane protects against strong winds and light rain, whilst offering a breathability rating of 8,000 g/m²/24 hours. This ensures that heat and moisture are effectively wicked away during intense exercise.

The outer surface is finished with a water-repellent coating, which means that dirt and moisture are less likely to penetrate the fabric and the jacket retains its protective properties for longer.

Designed for intensive tactical use

The jacket features a fold-away hood that tucks neatly into the collar and can be quickly unfolded thanks to a two-way zip. The adjustable hood 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 offer extra protection in areas subject to high stress. Thanks to the adjustable Velcro cuffs, the sleeves fit snugly and help to keep the wind out.

Seven practical storage compartments

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

The two spacious chest pockets feature internal organisers and D-rings for the secure storage of 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 also allows quick access to equipment carried on the belt.
