A lightweight jacket that protects against wind, providing comfort even in changeable weather. Its durable construction and modern cut make it suitable both for outdoor activities and everyday use.
Helikon-Tex Cougar Softshell Windblocker QSA HID Jacket - Foliage Green
The tactical softshell jacket is made from modern, flexible SharkSkin material. Thanks to the Windblocker membrane, it provides excellent protection against wind. The jacket's outer layer is coated with a Teflon finish that protects against dirt and water. The hood, hidden in the collar, can be conveniently adjusted without having to take your hands out of the pockets, thanks to drawstrings hidden in the chest pockets.
Windblocker membrane
Thanks to the membrane inside, the Cougar jacket features vapour permeability of 8000 g/m2/24h, providing protection against light precipitation and wind, as well as breathability to prevent excessive sweating.
QSA system, hidden ID panels
The jacket is equipped with a system of retractable ID panels, which can be displayed for identification purposes. Blank panels allow for customisation through printing or embroidery of appropriate names.
This model uses a QSA (Quick Side Access) system, enabling quick and unrestricted access to tactical accessories mounted on the belt on both sides. The user can reach for a weapon, taser, or other accessories with a single smooth motion, significantly affecting response time in threat situations. The civilian appearance and appropriate layout of the QSA system work well in urban operations.

- 2 chest pockets with zips
- 2 sleeve pockets with zips
- 1 internal pocket
- 1 small pocket on the lower part of the left sleeve

In summary, it's a great choice for active people looking for a blend of comfort, functionality, and modern design. It performs well in everyday situations as well as tougher conditions.

I am very satisfied with my purchase. The jacket is functional, the softshell is made to a high standard, and the Helikon brand, as always, does not disappoint! This is already my second model from this company. The jackets are rarely available – it’s worth hurrying with your purchase, as they disappear quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
-
This jacket works not only for trips to the forest or outdoors, but also looks good in urban conditions. It's comfortable, warm, durable and looks stylish.
-
Very good jacket, especially the solution with zipped sides, which allows for easy access to weapons, it’s a great idea. The quality of workmanship is typical for the Helikon brand, and the zips are solid.
-
This is an excellent jacket for various occasions, not only for the services it is intended for. It is warm and comfortable, and you can print any text you need on the hidden panels. The pocket with a place for an ID card may be the most useful. I definitely recommend it.
-
Earlier, I bought the version in black. The Coyote is just as great in terms of breathability and pocket arrangement. The panels are very useful at work, as are the ventilation holes under the arms. My only complaint is about the collar—even with daily washing, unsightly marks appear on it, even if the hood is tucked away and the collar doesn't touch the neck directly.
-
Fantastic jacket. It features practical and well-thought-out ergonomic details. Very high-quality materials and careful workmanship.
-
This is my second jacket of this type, this time in a different shade. The pockets are numerous and practically arranged, equipped with additional compartments. The panels on the chest and back work well during service duties. The jacket provides very good wind protection, although it's a bit less effective against rain. The hood protects effectively and the vents under the arms are useful. Size M for a height of 178 cm fits perfectly; although it's a bit loose with a small belly—it fits well if you wear a weapon on your belt. The zip works excellently.
-
It has lots of pockets, is comfortable and protects well against rain. The idea for quick access to accessories at the waist is very interesting. The jacket is a bit thinner than the Gunfighter model and looks much better in reality than in the photos.
-
Great quality and very well made. Bravo!
-
Brilliant jacket, this is already my second of this type. Very practical and comfortable. Unfortunately, the main drawback is the not very durable zips – I had to return my first jacket because of them, and in the second one the zips are rather stiff. If not for that, it would be almost indestructible in everyday use.
-
The jacket has lots of pockets, is comfortable, and provides good protection against rain. The quick-access solution for accessories at the belt is practical. The jacket is a bit thinner than the Gunfighter model.

The jacket is comfortable and has many uses – I definitely recommend it.
