I bought my jacket in 2023. It is probably the cheapest jacket currently available on the market made entirely of nylon, which is why, in terms of durability, it clearly outperforms polyester models such as the Helikon Gunfighter that I used before. The Flash serves as a protective layer, meaning it mainly protects against wind and light rain. Unlike the aforementioned Gunfighter, it has no internal insulation, which makes it a bit cooler and less stiff. However, I do not see that as a drawback, because it gives greater flexibility in regulating temperature by means of the layers worn underneath, which can be matched to the weather and the planned level of activity.
A lightweight jacket crafted from nylon and spandex, offering protection against harsh weather conditions. The outer layer features an impregnated coating to guard against dirt and moisture.
The jacket closes with a dependable YKK zipper. Its design ensures freedom of movement, sufficient breathability, and shields against rain, wind, and cold. Under the armpits, there are ventilation holes with zippers. The high collar and a retractable hood with a drawstring provide thermal comfort.
Equipped with four pockets:
- two spacious ones on the chest,
- two positioned on the sleeves at shoulder height.
All pockets have zipper closures. Sleeves can be adjusted using wide Velcro straps, and the bottom of the jacket, as well as the hood, feature drawcords to ensure a snug fit and minimize heat loss.
