Giacca Helikon-Tex Squall - Taiga Green, taglia M

Where most softshells compromise between weather protection and mobility, the Helikon-Tex Squall Jacket delivers both without the bulk. Its StormStretch® fabric—a 98% nylon, 2% elastane blend with a DWR coating—offers reliable wind and water resistance while stretching two ways for unrestricted movement. Built for dynamic outdoor use, this jacket is a versatile layer for hiking, trekking, or everyday wear in unpredictable weather.

Highlights

• StormStretch® fabric: 98% nylon, 2% elastane with DWR coating for water repellency and 2-way stretch.
• Adjustable, helmet-compatible hood for full coverage and compatibility with climbing or tactical helmets.
• Full-length two-way YKK® zipper with internal storm flap to seal out wind and rain.
• Armpit ventilation zippers for rapid heat dumping during high-exertion activities.
• Three secure pockets: two zippered hand pockets and one internal zippered chest pocket.
• Hook-and-loop cuff adjustments and elastic drawstring hem for a custom, draft-free fit.

In daily use

On the trail or in town, the Squall Jacket excels as a mid-layer or standalone shell. The breathable softshell fabric prevents overheating while the DWR finish sheds light rain and snow. The two-way zipper allows easy access to layers or a harness, and the helmet-compatible hood adjusts snugly without limiting peripheral vision. When the pace picks up, open the pit zips to vent excess heat instantly. The regular/athletic cut layers comfortably over a base layer or light fleece, and the stretch fabric ensures unrestricted reach for climbing, scrambling, or simply reaching for a high shelf.
