The Helikon-Tex Trooper MK2 softshell jacket is a very successful combination of two well-known and highly valued for their functional properties jackets, Trooper and Blizzard. The best of both returns in modern form as the Trooper MK2 from Helikon.
The improvements of the second generation of the Trooper jacket mainly consist of the addition of StormStretch material and the integration of several of the most popular elements from the Blizzard jacket. Special elastic material and a new, more comfortable fit give the Trooper MK2 jacket incredible lightness and freedom of movement.
The Trooper MK2 jacket is therefore ideal to choose as an outer softshell jacket for more demanding outdoor and sports events, when there is no risk of limiting your mobility and dynamics. If a suitable insulating bottom layer is used, the jacket will also serve well in winter.
The Helikon-Tex Trooper MK2 jacket stands out with a number of great innovations. These include, among other things, placing the hand pockets in the center of the front part of the jacket. The pockets are thus easily accessible even when using a backpack with a massive waist belt. We also have the jacket fastening with a two-way YKK zipper, which is finished with a beard and Adam`s apple protector, or a size-adjustable hood with Velcro that is integrated into the collar of the jacket.
