Helikon Wolfhound Hoodie Lite Jacket - Taiga Green

I really like this one, it just ticks all the boxes for a Spring/Summer layer but can also act as a brilliant mid layer for when the weather turns. 

The Wolfhound Hoodie Lite is a lightweight insulated jacket with a hood, designed for active use and variable weather in spring, summer evenings, and autumn.

It’s a Level 3 layer that delivers reliable warmth without extra weight – wear it on its own as a transitional jacket or as a mid-layer, for example, under a softshell.

The insulation is a 40 g/m2 synthetic fill: lightweight, efficient, resistant to clumping, and it holds its performance even with intensive use. The outer Windpack Nylon fabric is fast-drying and effectively reduces wind chill, making the Hoodie Lite a practical alternative to a classic cotton hoodie.

A hydrophobic finish further limits moisture absorption during light rain, improves resistance to dirt, and makes the jacket easier to care for, helping it maintain its properties over time. The Hoodie version is more outdoor- and city-oriented: it features a hood and an anorak-style 2/3 front zip, which seals the front better and improves protection against wind and heat loss.

At the same time, it has no hook-and-loop panels on the sleeves, reinforcing its low-profile, civilian look. Low weight and excellent compressibility make it easy to pack into a backpack as a spare layer, while durable YKK® zippers provide reliable, long-lasting closure.
