Helikon-Tex Cougar Softshell Windblocker QSA HID Jacket - Black
Tactical softshell jacket crafted from advanced, flexible SharkSkin material delivers excellent wind resistance due to its Windblocker membrane. An external teflon coating ensures reliable protection against water and dirt. The adjustable hood, which can be conveniently stowed in the collar, is easily tightened using chest pocket drawstrings without needing to remove your hands from your pockets.
Windblocker membrane
The Cougar jacket delivers a breathability rating of 8000 g/m2/24h thanks to its integrated membrane. Such a design ensures reliable protection against light rain and wind, while the high level of breathability effectively helps to reduce overheating and excess perspiration.
QSA system, stowable ID panels
The jacket features a set of collapsible ID panels designed for identification purposes, which can be easily revealed when needed. Included blank panels enable users to personalize them with printed or embroidered names as required.
Equipped with the QSA (Quick Side Access) system, the model allows rapid and effortless access to tactical gear attached at the waist on either side. Users benefit from seamless movement when reaching for a weapon, taser, or other accessories, providing a crucial advantage by reducing response time in high-stress situations. The discreet, everyday appearance combined with optimal placement of the QSA system makes it highly effective for operational tasks in 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.
