The Halkon is for people who spend time in nature and the countryside and who switch between periods of exertion and periods of being stationary.
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 ventilation options to reduce clothing changes, are vital. Essential kit such as a camera, binoculars and maps also need to be easily accessible.
Tough, directional Nikwax Analogy Waterproof fabric combines with functional design to provide dry comfort in the rain, warmth and cooling, and practical pocketing in one nature-friendly jacket.
The Halkon has a well-designed hood, good venting options and nine pockets.
- Excellent field of vision in poor weather from a fully adjustable hood with wired peak.
- Easy, effective temperature control from upper arm vents, a two way front zip and sleeves that push up for cooling.
- Multiple storage options from pockets that accomodate equipment, OS maps and small valuables, and also provide handwarming.

Nikwax® Analogy Waterproof
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.
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.
