TROOPER Jacket MK2 - StormStretch® | Helikon-Tex

A jacket upgraded to perform even better in action

The trusted and well-known features of the Trooper and Blizzard jackets return in a modernized form as the Trooper Mk2. We designed it to meet the real needs of active users – not just for tactical operations but also for everyday outdoor adventures.

This is a lightweight tactical softshell jacket that doesn't restrict you, doesn't let you down – it simply gets the job done.

 ✔ Why StormStretch?

We used StormStretch fabric – a proven softshell material made of 98% nylon and 2% elastane. It stretches in two directions, offering greater freedom of movement while remaining resistant to abrasion.

StormStretch combines lightness with durability, working exactly as you want it to:

• shields from the wind,
• dries quickly,
• doesn't absorb moisture from the environment,
• offers slight stretch for added comfort.

Trooper Mk2 – key features:

• stretch fabric – lightweight StormStretch with added elastane,
• stowable hood – fits in the collar, with a shaped visor that doesn't hinder movement,
• no unnecessary pockets – fewer pockets mean quicker drying,
• 2 chest pockets with internal organizers,
• 2 upper arm pockets – with loop panels for identification patches,
• movement-friendly fit – perfect under a backpack or mid-layer,
• extended back – covers your lower back without riding up as you move.

 ✔ Why did we remove the back and forearm pockets?

Because you don't need them. In the field, accessibility and simplicity matter most. Those pockets slowed down drying and added weight. We kept only what works with you – not against you.

The Trooper Mk2 without camouflage is a softshell jacket designed for performance – whether you're hitting the trail, working outdoors, or simply need a reliable outer layer.
