Helikon-Tex Levanter Jacket Shadow Grey

The Helikon-Tex® Levanter Jacket Shadow Grey is an ultra-lightweight rain jacket specially designed to provide compact protection against rain and wind. Thanks to the combination of a 10,000 mm water column, 10,000 g/m²/24 hours breathability and a PFAS-free DWR C0 coating, this jacket offers reliable protection during airsoft, hiking, bushcraft and other outdoor activities.

Weighing just 290 grams, the Levanter fits effortlessly into your rucksack, so you’re always prepared for unexpected changes in the weather.

Lightweight protection against rain and wind

The Levanter provides effective protection against drizzle, light showers and wind without being heavy or bulky.

The combination of a waterproof PU coating and a durable DWR finish prevents moisture from penetrating the fabric quickly, whilst excess heat and perspiration are efficiently wicked away.

Waterproof and breathable

• Water column: 10,000 mm
• Breathability: 10,000 g/m²/24 hours
• PFAS-free DWR C0 water-repellent coating

These features ensure excellent comfort during light to moderately intense activities.

Compact and easy to carry

The Levanter Jacket has been designed as an emergency rain jacket that you can carry with you at all times. Thanks to its compact size, it takes up hardly any space and fits easily into a rucksack or daypack.

That way, you’ll always have an extra layer of protection to hand when the weather changes.

Practical half-zip design

The jacket features a 3/4 YKK® zip, making it quick to put on and take off and providing extra ventilation during exercise.

Moreover, this design ensures that the weight remains exceptionally low.

Grote kangaroozak

On the front there is a spacious kangaroo pocket with a double zip fastening and access from both sides.

Ideal for storing:

• Gloves
• Maps
• EDC kit
• Small accessories

That way, your essentials are always within easy reach.

Adjustable ergonomic hood

The adjustable hood fits snugly around the head and offers extra protection against wind and rain without unnecessarily restricting your view.

Practical experience

The Helikon-Tex Levanter Jacket Shadow Grey is ideal for airsoft players, hikers and outdoor enthusiasts looking for a lightweight rain jacket that takes up hardly any space. For prolonged, heavy rain, a full-fledged hardshell is more suitable, but as a compact emergency jacket, the Levanter offers an excellent balance between weight, protection and comfort.
