Helikon-Tex Gunfighter Softshell Jacket - Detailed Review

[@vonsprague7913]

It's nice that you listened to your viewers as I was one of the people who strongly recommended this jacket. For me having a hood in the same material as the main jacket and be able to stow it away was a game changer. Highly waterproof and tough it works brilliantly with a plate carrier and is not out of place in an airport or high street is excellent. Good review sir, thank you.

I have a few games lined up so I'm definitely going to wear this. I'm trying to look more at suggestions like this. Especially when they're as good as this. All my best buddy

I have it and it is a very good jacket. I am wearing a European M (1.75 cms and 70 kilos) and it fits very well. The wind stopper capabilities are really fantastic.

Gunfighter was my first item from Helikon-tex, today it may have a bit outdated design, but it was one of the most popular softshells for many years. This item bought my trust in Helikon-tex, now i ordered tons of items from them. I love my gunfighter in shadow gray with wolf/valknut patches, look sick and keeps me warm, sometimes even too much warm :)

[@MoorlanderEDC]

It's definitely one of their most popular jackets. I can see why so many started with this 👍

From the previous reviews I'd noticed this Jacket and thought it looked "proper nice". So now I know it's got special front pocket organisation inside too which is a plus and I could have one my Victorinox Inox penknives in there too (just like the King). I like the fact it's slightly heavier too. It appears then I'll be adding this to my collection of Helikon-Tex products as well. Thanks again for all your good work and effort and happy to be dedicated follower. Take care Pal

The weight is great. It's nice to have a heavier softshell. Luckily the extra weight comes with added wind and water resistance. Thanks for watching buddy

thanks for the review, cheers from Poland!

I have the gunfighter and it is a nice bit of kit,one up on the delta jacket,i will say that those rubber cuff chinching things do tend to snap after a few years so changing them to somthing else would be great

Excellent review! I would like the armpit zipper to open upwards. I hate cold zippers...

[@Smithy6996]

Nice review mate of what looks like a nice jacket - just thought I’d say so for the algorithm 😊

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Thanks buddy. The algorithm definitely likes the comments. Hope you're having a cracking week

Have one in Red and my friends say it's my "iconic jacket" Btw Prigozhyn wore the Gunfighter jacket a lot and you can see him in it during the "march on Moscow" speech.

I've had an original version of this jacket (think this is the Mk.2) for about 4 years. Great jacket. Suitably warm for autumn & winter use but still surprisingly breathable. Also surprisingly waterproof - I've been caught out in some very heavy showers for 1+ hours and I stayed dry. Helikon also did an excellent job with the hood - the volume adjuster at the back means it can be fitted properly for use with or without a hat and avoids the hood flopping pointlessly over the eyes. Excellent jacket and superb value for money.

I wanna get one to two Helikon Jackets next month and you're not making the decision any easier. Now I'm looking into the Level 7, M65 Covert AND this one.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

If you get all three and need an excuse, tell whomever I made you do it. I got you back brother 🤜🤛

[@soulfabuk]

What is the hat you're wearing fella...lovely colour?

[@MoorlanderEDC]

It's from Thrudark. I made some content on my favourite beanies a few years back. I wear this slot in the autumn/winter - kzbin.info/www/bejne/larCiWOda7KZacU

[@GM-bq6zo]

I love these tactical jackets but so many of them are tight on the body with big baggy arms.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

I'm fairness I do have a large belly 😆😆😆

These small pockets within main pockets are nothing new in good quality men's classical jackets. Nice touch!
