Description
Helikon-Tex Level 7 Jacket – Advanced Tactical Winter Jacket (Nylon)
The Level 7 Jacket is a high-performance tactical winter jacket engineered for mission-critical operations in extreme cold. Designed in trusted MultiCam camouflage, it enhances concealment in open terrain and hostile environments. As the final insulating layer of the ECWCS (Extended Cold Weather Clothing System), it delivers excellent thermal retention, wind protection and breathability during demanding field use. The durable nylon ripstop outer layer and Climashield® Apex™ insulation ensure dependable performance, even when wet.
Aim of the Product
The jacket is built to protect the user in severe cold where other layers are no longer sufficient. Its purpose is to trap body heat, block wind, repel light rain and maintain comfort during both static and active operations. As an ECWCS Level 7 layer, it functions as the primary thermal barrier in extreme winter conditions.
Audience
This jacket is ideal for:
- Military personnel operating in cold or arctic environments.
- Law enforcement and border patrol officers on winter missions.
- Outdoor professionals and survivalists working in extreme temperatures.
- Search and rescue units in remote and hostile climates.
Product Use
The Level 7 Jacket is worn as the outer insulation layer. Its adjustable, helmet-compatible hood can be deployed instantly or stored inside the collar. The two-way YKK zipper provides quick access to equipment underneath. Fleece-lined pockets remain accessible with gloves, and internal mesh pockets help dry wet items using body heat. The included compression sack enables compact transport in backpacks or field kits.
