Helikon-Tex GUNFIGHTER Jacket Shark Skin Windblocker Black

The Helikon-Tex Gunfighter Jacket Shark Skin Windblocker Black is a versatile tactical softshell jacket designed for military personnel, police officers, security guards and airsoft players who want to combine optimum freedom of movement with protection against wind and light rain. Thanks to its lightweight fleece lining, the jacket offers extra comfort in cooler conditions without feeling bulky.

The understated design makes the Gunfighter suitable for both tactical use and everyday wear. Behind its unassuming appearance lies a jacket that has been designed entirely for intensive use in the field.

SharkSkin softshell met Windblocker-membraan

The jacket is made from SharkSkin softshell, a supple 4-way stretch fabric that offers maximum freedom of movement without pulling or constricting. Furthermore, the fabric makes very little noise when you move, which is ideal when discretion is important.

The integrated Windblocker membrane protects against strong winds and light rain, whilst the breathable construction, with a breathability rating of 8,000 g/m²/24 hours, efficiently wicks away excess heat and moisture. The outer layer also features a water- and dirt-repellent coating, which helps keep the jacket clean for longer and makes it more resistant to changing weather conditions.

Practical design for tactical use

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

For extra ventilation, ventilation zips with mesh panels have been fitted under the arms, allowing heat to be quickly dissipated during intense activities.

The jacket has an anatomical fit that supports freedom of movement and features reinforced elbows for extra durability. Adjustable Velcro cuffs help to prevent the wind from getting in.

Seven practical storage compartments

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

The two spacious chest pockets are fitted with internal organisers and D-rings, and offer space for items such as a notebook, a map or a spare magazine. 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 small EDC items and a large full-length back pocket.

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