Helikon-Tex Levanter takki, Shadow Grey KU-LEV-NL-35

Lightweight protection from rain and wind. The Levanter is a lightweight, waterproof rain jacket designed for field use when the weather starts setting its own rules. Thanks to the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, it effectively protects against rain and wind, offering waterproofness rated at 10,000 mm and breathability at 10,000 g/m2/24h – enough for moderate activity levels. How does Levanter differ from a classic hardshell? Levanter is lighter, more compact, and simpler in construction. It takes up minimal space and delivers instant protection when needed. A hardshell with a membrane will perform better during prolonged, high-intensity activity in continuous rain. The Levanter’s thoughtful design includes a short 3/4 zipper for easy on/off and extra ventilation, and a large kangaroo pocket with dual-side access and two zippers – perfect for essential gear. The adjustable hood adapts to your head shape, offering additional protection against wind and rain. Key features: · PU 10K/10K + C0 DWR (80/10): real waterproofness and water repellency · 3/4-length zipper: quick to put on, adds ventilation without full unzipping · Kangaroo pocket: dual zippers, space for map/EDC/gloves · Adjustable hood: fits the head snugly, shields against gusts · Lightweight, packable design: ideal as a “just-in-case” layer Without an active membrane, the Levanter works best as an emergency rain shell – lightweight, quick to pack, and ready when the weather turns unpredictable.
