OTHER NEW ADDITIONS IN THE HELIKON-TEX LINE: WOLFHOUND HOODIE LIGHT JACKET Anew, lighter version of the much-loved Wolfhound insulated jacket, with reduced ll and therefore classed roughly as Level 3 in layering systems (e.g., ECWCS). In short — warmer than a standard sweatshirt (think eece) but lighter than a full Wolfhound. Perfect for cool summer eve- nings or spring nights, or as alight insulating layer on chilly, non-freezing days. The shell resists wind and light rain, dries quickly and stands up better to eld conditions. Unlike the classic zip-front Wolfhound, this isn't atraditional front-open- ing jacket but a 3/4 zip pullover anorak. It's aimed more at civilian use, sothe look is toned down — for example, no hook-and-loop patches on the sleeves. WOLFHOUND LITE A light synthetic insulated jacket that delivers thermal comfort on cool days — ideal as an in- sulating layer. It uses asimilar ll to the classic Wolfhound but at lower weight, making it perfect for cool summer or spring evenings, or as aLevel 3 insulating layer in autumn and winter. The shell resists wind and light rain, dries fast and tolerates eld use. Wolfhound Lite has no hood but retains hook-and-loop panels on the sleeves for insignia, keeping the military edge. TTP PANTS TTP — Trekking Tactical Pants — are long softshell pants from the Outback line, built for warmer days. They're engineered to deliver opti- mal thermal comfort for spring and summer eldwork. Constructed entirely from lightweight, breathable AeroTech fabric, they dry fast, wick moisture effectively and keep you comfortable even inheat. Also worth amention are the Winter Warden shirts, askiing classic that now comes in two new colors. Winter Warden is cut from quick-dry fabric with a lightweight 60 g/m² insulating ll — perfect where awinter jacket is overkill and asoftshell falls short. The shirt has seven pockets, including two internal ones. Reinforced shoulders protect against abrasion (for example when carrying skis), and snap closures give the piece atimeless look and practical ease of use. Helikon-Tex's lineup also includes the AEGIS plate carrier — a simple vest designed for users who need ballistic protection without the bur- den of carrying lots of extra kit.
