Damesjas Helikon-Tex Squall Hardshell

A women's hardshell jacket built for uncompromising waterproof protection, the Helikon-Tex Squall Hardshell uses a 10,000 mm hydrostatic head rating to keep you dry through heavy rain and wet snow. Its StormStretch® fabric delivers mechanical stretch and durability, while fully taped seams and YKK® AquaGuard® zippers seal out moisture. The breathable membrane (10,000 g/m²/24h) prevents overheating during high-output activities.

Advantages

Engineered specifically for the female form, this hardshell features an anatomical cut that eliminates excess bulk while allowing full range of motion. The adjustable, helmet-compatible hood provides a snug fit over climbing or ski helmets, and the high collar with chin guard protects against wind-driven rain. Armpit ventilation zippers let you dump heat quickly when the tempo rises, and the adjustable hook-and-loop cuffs and drawcord hem seal out drafts. Weighing just 340 grams, it packs into its own pocket for easy storage in a daypack or travel bag.
