Halkon 360 Jacket Men's

The Halcon is ideal for country activities from walking to nature watching & photography.

The super-specced Halkon 360° is for avid nature enthusiasts or professionals, and people who partake in wildlife observation, photography and fieldwork.

If you participate in outdoor activities for work or recreation, you need to remain comfortable in cold and/or wet weather. Efficient moisture control to prevent chilling, and good ventilation options to reduce clothing changes, are vital. Essential kit such as a camera, binoculars, the Collins Bird Guide, and maps also need to be easily accessible.

Tough, directional Nikwax Analogy Waterproof fabric combines with a highly technical design to provide dry comfort in the rain, warmth and cooling, and multiple practical pockets in one superior nature-friendly jacket.

The Halkon 360° has a well-designed hood, excellent venting options and a huge range of useful pockets

• Excellent field of vision in poor weather from a comfortable and fully adjustable wire-peaked hood that has soft fleece around the face.
• Easy, effective temperature control from upper arm vents, a two-way reversed front zip with poppered double storm flap, and sleeves that push or roll up for cooling.
• Multiple storage options from 14 internal and external pockets that accommodate equipment, maps, guides, valuables, snacks and more

Nikwax Analogy Waterproof fabric is more than just breathable, it is directional.

This means it is capable of moving liquid water away from your body and not just water vapour.

It is essential to avoid a build-up of water in your clothing system when you are working hard, as too much retained moisture will lead to your body rapidly chilling when you stop and rest.

In conventional clothing systems, approximately 20% of sweat production is dealt with effectively, leaving the remaining 80% trapped inside.

Nikwax Analogy garments are unique, in that they pump out this 80% of liquid water and allow it to drain away; you are left feeling dry and comfortable.
