Helikon-Tex GUNFIGHTER Jacket Shark Skin Windblocker Coyote

The Helikon-Tex Gunfighter Jacket Shark Skin Windblocker Coyote is a high-quality tactical softshell jacket designed for military personnel, police officers, security guards, airsoft players and outdoor enthusiasts who want to combine optimum protection against wind and light rain with maximum freedom of movement. 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.

Although the Gunfighter looks like a normal outdoor jacket, it is designed for professional use. Behind its understated appearance lies a clever design featuring durable materials and practical storage options.

SharkSkin softshell with Windblocker technology

The jacket is made from SharkSkin softshell, a supple 4-way stretch fabric that moves with the body in all directions. This means the jacket offers maximum freedom of movement without the fabric pulling or restricting movement. Furthermore, SharkSkin produces virtually no noise when moving, which is a significant advantage during tactical operations and outdoor activities where discretion is required.

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

The outer surface is treated with a hydrophobic coating that repels dirt and moisture, ensuring the jacket stays clean for longer and retains its protective properties.

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 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 intense activities.

The anatomical fit supports natural movements, whilst reinforced elbows provide extra protection in high-stress areas. Thanks to the adjustable Velcro cuffs, the sleeves fit snugly and minimise wind ingress.

Seven practical storage compartments

The Gunfighter Jacket features seven strategically placed storage 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 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 makes it easy to quickly access equipment carried on the belt.
