Helikon Gunfighter Softshell Shark Skin Windblocker Jacket - Flecktarn

Lightweight Softshell jacket in Flecktarn camouflage made from flexible SharkSkin material. Effectively protects against wind and precipitation, while providing good thermal insulation. Designed for both tactical use and everyday urban conditions.

The jacket is made with SharkSkin material, which stretches in all directions. The inner part and collar feature fleece lining. The sleeves from wrist to elbow are reinforced with durable fabric. Breathability of 8000 g/m2 prevents excessive sweating during activity. Underarm ventilation zippers increase airflow. Branches, leaves, and other forest debris do not stick to the surface, unlike with fleece garments.

The Windblocker membrane is a flexible and breathable windproof layer integrated directly into the outer fabric. Its purpose is to reduce body heat loss while still allowing moisture to escape. The outer fabric is coated with Chemours Teflon treatment to protect against light rain and dirt.

The jacket is equipped with 7 functional pockets:

• two zippered chest pockets with D-rings and small organizers
• two shoulder pockets with headphone cable ports
• one zippered pocket on the left sleeve near the wrist
• one internal pocket with hook-and-loop closure
• one back “game” pocket with two side openings

Large hood hidden in the collar features a soft visor to protect the face from dripping water. Its design covers the neck when unfolded, reducing the risk of wind chill. It is adjustable with drawcords. Cuffs are finished with hook-and-loop straps to adjust fit depending on wrist size or whether gloves or a watch are worn underneath.

Velcro panels sewn into the shoulders allow the attachment of patches, such as flags, unit insignia, or Morale Patches, offering personalization options.

The main closure features a two-way zipper by YKK, known for durable fastening systems.

Flecktarn is a classic German military camouflage pattern, officially introduced for use by the Bundeswehr in 1990. The pattern is based on small, irregular spots in five colors – typically dark green, olive, brown, black and beige. With the distribution of numerous dots and blurred boundaries between the colors, Flecktarn effectively distracts from the wearer's silhouette in forest terrain, as well as in scrubland or against the background of forest undergrowth. The camouflage was designed for European climatic conditions, especially for the temperate zone. To this day, Flecktarn remains a standard pattern used by the German army, other military and police officers. Its effectiveness has led to numerous variants and adaptations in other countries.
