Product Description
The LEVEL 7 jacket is currently the thickest jacket offered by Helikon-Tex to the public. The manufacturer designed this garment with a primary purpose: to provide maximum protection against the cold even in the harshest operating conditions. The secret of this jacket lies primarily in the insulation layer called Climashield Apex. This material is capable of generating and retaining optimal thermal comfort whether it is dry or wet. Besides its astonishing insulation properties, this material is also extremely lightweight, allowing for a significant reduction in the overall weight of the assembly. The exterior of the jacket is covered with a thin layer of reinforced ripstop nylon, which also helps maintain the jacket's low weight. One aspect worth mentioning is the ability to significantly compress the jacket when packed, without compromising its structural integrity.
