Stay dry when the weather turns

The Highlander Tempest Waterproof Jacket is built for rainy days in the field. Its Ab-Tex tri-laminate fabric is waterproof and windproof with a 5,000mm hydrostatic head, and every seam is taped so water cannot sneak in at the stitch lines. When the heavens open, you stay dry.

Breathable, not clammy

Unlike cheap plastic rain shells, the Ab-Tex membrane breathes and wicks perspiration away from your body. That keeps you comfortable when you are moving, so you are not left soaked from the inside after a fast tab or a hard skirmish.

Sensible, adjustable design

A concealed stowaway hood tucks into the collar when it is dry and pulls out to shield you when it rains. Adjustable hook-and-loop cuffs and an elasticated drawcord hem let you seal out wind and rain and fine-tune the fit over your base layers.

Practical details

Two side pockets with storm-flap closures keep small essentials to hand and protected, while a DWR-treated outer helps rainwater bead and run straight off the surface rather than soaking in.

One jacket, many uses

In understated black, the Tempest suits airsoft, patrol, hiking, camping and everyday wet-weather wear. Layer it over the rest of your tactical clothing for reliable cover whatever the forecast.

Frequently asked questions

How waterproof is the Tempest jacket?

The Ab-Tex fabric has a 5,000mm hydrostatic head and fully taped seams, so it keeps out sustained rain during patrols, hikes and wet-weather skirmishes rather than just a passing shower.

Will I overheat wearing it?

Less than you would in a basic rain shell. The Ab-Tex membrane is breathable and wicks perspiration away, which helps prevent the clammy build-up you get in non-breathable waterproofs.

What happens to the hood when it is dry?

The concealed hood stows away into the collar when you do not need it, keeping it out of the way, then pulls out and adjusts when the weather closes in.

Can I adjust the fit?

Yes. Hook-and-loop adjustable cuffs seal the wrists and an elasticated drawcord hem cinches the waist, letting you shut out wind and rain and tune the fit over layers.

Is it suitable for airsoft and the outdoors?

Absolutely. In plain black it works for airsoft, patrol, hiking, camping and everyday wet-weather wear, and the DWR-treated outer helps rain bead and run off.
