Outdoors enthusiasts are always looking for high-quality apparel to protect them against whatever Mother Nature throws their way. Two of the most popular options are Helikon-Tex’s Gunfighter jacket and Artaxes SF Jacket Level V. Both are exceptional pieces of gear that are battle tested and designed to withstand harsh environments and outdoor elements.

The adjustable cuffs ensure a snug fit.
Meanwhile, Artaxes SF jacket Level V is designed for special ops teams and urban terrain. It has a sleek profile and is made from 100% nylon rip-stop fabric that is treated with 3 layer ECL technology to provide waterproof breathability and protection from wind and water. It includes a zip-up front closure, two internal pockets, three external pockets, two concealed external pockets, and two arm pockets. The jacket also features adjustable cuffs, hood and drawstrings on the sides. The fabric is water-resistant and provides superior protection from outdoor elements.
In terms of durability, both Helikon-Tex’s Gunfighter jacket and Artaxes SF jacket Level V are excellent, with the latter being more robust and designed for special ops teams as well as urban terrain. Moreover, the fabric on the Artaxes jacket is much more water-resistant than that of the Gunfighter jacket. Both jackets have plenty of pockets to store essential items, but the Artaxes jacket has more pockets compared to the Gunfighter jacket. Ultimately, the choice of which jacket to buy will come down to personal preference and outdoor needs.
