Helikon-Tex Cougar Softshell Windblocker QSA HID Jacket - Olive Green
The tactical softshell jacket is made from modern, flexible material SharkSkin, providing excellent wind protection thanks to the Windblocker membrane. The outer layer of the jacket is coated with a teflon layer that protects against dirt and water. The hood, hidden in the collar, can be conveniently adjusted without taking your hands out of the pockets, thanks to the drawstrings hidden in the chest pockets.
Windblocker membrane
Thanks to the membrane inside, the Cougar jacket features breathability of 8000 g/m2/24h, providing protection against light rain and wind, as well as breathability to prevent excessive sweating.
QSA system, hidden ID panels
The jacket is equipped with a system of hidden ID panels that can be displayed for identification purposes. Blank panels allow for customization through printing or embroidering appropriate names.
This model uses the QSA (Quick Side Access) system, enabling quick and unrestricted access to tactical accessories mounted on the belt on both sides.

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 the purchase because they disappear quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
-
This jacket works well not only for trips to the forest or out in the field, but also looks good in urban settings. It is comfortable, warm, durable, and looks stylish.
-
A very good jacket, especially the solution with the zippered sides, which allows for easy access to weapons—it's a great idea. The workmanship quality is typical for the Helikon brand, and the zippers are solid.
-
This is an excellent jacket for different occasions, not only for the services it's intended for. It is warm and comfortable, and you can print any inscription you need on the hidden panels. The pocket with a spot for an ID can be especially useful. I definitely recommend it.
-
Earlier, I bought the black version. The Coyote is just as great in terms of breathability and pocket placement. The panels are very useful at work, as are the ventilation holes under the arms. My only complaint is about the collar – despite daily washing, unsightly marks appear on it, even if the hood is tucked in and the collar does not directly touch the neck.
-
Fantastic jacket. It contains practical and thoughtfully designed ergonomic details. The materials are of very good quality and the workmanship is meticulous.
-
This is my second jacket of this type, this time in a different shade. The pockets are numerous and practically arranged, equipped with extra compartments. The panels on the chest and back work well during duty tasks. The jacket protects very well against wind, a bit less against rain. The hood provides effective coverage, and the underarm vents are useful. Size M is perfect for a height of 178 cm, although it feels loose with a slight belly – it fits well if you carry a weapon on your belt. The zipper works excellently.
-
It has plenty of pockets, it's comfortable, and effectively protects against rain. The idea of 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 person than in the photos.
-
Great quality and very well made. Bravo!
-
Fantastic jacket, this is already my second of this type. Very practical and comfortable. Unfortunately, the main drawback is the not very durable zippers – I had to return the first jacket because of them, and in the second one, the zippers are fairly stiff. If not for that, it would be almost indestructible for everyday use.
-
The jacket has a lot of pockets, is comfortable, and protects well 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, has many uses – I definitely recommend it.
