Helikon-Tex Cougar Softshell Windblocker QSA HID Jacket - Olive Green
Constructed from advanced, flexible SharkSkin material, the tactical softshell jacket delivers excellent wind resistance due to the integrated Windblocker membrane. An external teflon coating shields the jacket from water and dirt. The hood—which can be conveniently stowed in the collar—allows for effortless adjustment via drawstrings concealed within the chest pockets, eliminating the need to remove hands from pockets.
Windblocker membrane
The Cougar jacket incorporates a membrane offering a breathability rating of 8000 g/m2/24h. Designed to withstand light atmospheric precipitation and wind, the jacket also enables air circulation to help minimize excessive perspiration.
QSA system, stowable ID panels
Outfitted with a system of concealable ID panels, the jacket allows identification elements to be displayed when necessary. Included blank panels enable customization, so users can print or embroider designations as needed.
Featuring the QSA (Quick Side Access) system, the jacket provides rapid and effortless access to tactical equipment positioned at the waist on either side. Quick and smooth retrieval of a firearm, taser, or other tools enhances response times during critical situations. The discreet design and strategically placed QSA system are particularly advantageous for operations within urban environments.

A very successful purchase. Great, functional, good-quality Softshell jacket. HELIKON as always with top quality! THIS IS ALREADY MY SECOND FROM THIS BRAND. Usually hard to find for everyday use. Don’t hesitate, you have to act quickly because they go fast. I recommend it.
-
This jacket is good not only for going outdoors/to the forest, but also fits well for going out in the city. It is comfortable, warm, durable, and looks good.
-
The jacket is excellent, especially the side opening system for quick weapon access—fantastic. The quality of workmanship, as expected from Helikon, and the zippers are very good.
-
Great jacket, ideal for any occasion, not just for the services it is dedicated to. Warm, comfortable, and you can print whatever you need on the hidden panels as you wish. The pocket with a holder for an ID might be the most useful. I recommend it.
-
Earlier I bought the black one. The Coyote is just as perfect in terms of breathability and pocket layout. The panels are useful at work. The vents under the arms too. The only minus—I wash my neck every day (!!), but ugly marks remain on the collar. Even when the hood is removed and the collar does not touch the body...
-
The jacket is outstanding. Practical with ergonomic solutions. Good material quality, excellent craftsmanship.
-
My second such jacket, just in a different color. A large number of well-positioned pockets, which have additional compartments. Spaces for identification panels on the chest and back are very useful during service duties. Very good wind protection, a bit worse against rain. The hood covers well. The vents under the arms are useful. The M size for 178 cm is perfect, with a small belly it's a bit too roomy, unless you're carrying a weapon on the belt—then it's fine. The main zipper works very well.
-
Lots of pockets, comfortable, provides good protection against rain. Interesting solution with quick access to accessories at the waist. The jacket is a bit thinner than the Gunfighter. In reality, it looks much better than in the pictures.
-
Good quality and workmanship. Bravo.
-
Great jacket, already my second of this type. Practical and very comfortable. The only downside is the rather fragile main zippers. I parted ways with the first jacket because of this, and in the new one the zipper is quite stiff. If not for this, it would be practically indestructible in normal use.

A large number of pockets, comfortable, protects well against rain. Interesting solution with quick access to accessories at the belt. The jacket is a bit thinner than the Gunfighter.

The jacket is comfortable and multifunctional, I recommend it.
