Hardshell Squall - effective protection against rain and snow

The Squall Jacket complements the Helikon-Tex offer with the most modern outer layer. What is the difference between softshell and hardshell? A softshell jacket (e.g. Blizzard Jacket) is a soft layer that protects against light wind and drizzle, mainly due to the DWR impregnation. Hardshell is a stronger layer that is supposed to provide much better water resistance while maintaining good breathability. Both of these parameters are combined in the Squall Jacket.

Features of the membrane in the Squall Jacket

Waterproof and breathable at the same time is ensured by TorrentStretch - a 3L (three-layer) laminate developed by the Helikon-Tex specialists. Between the stronger outer layer and the integrated lining is a microporous membrane. Their dimensions stop water from penetrating inside the jacket. At the same time, they are large enough to effectively remove moisture (in the form of water vapor) generated by the body to the outside. Three layers laminated together form the TorrentStretch membrane. Hardshell Squall is a membrane jacket with very good waterproof parameters: 30,000 mm of the water column.

The key feature - water resistance

The design takes care of all the details appreciated by hardshell users. The Squall is a full-fledged rain jacket with taped seams and a two-way adjustable hood with a high collar. Additional protection against moisture is provided by waterproof YKK® AquaGuard® zippers, of which the main zipper is two-way and secured at the bottom with a Prym snap. The Squall Hardshell Jacket has been covered with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) hydrophobic coating, free of harmful PFC (perfluorocarbons).

How a jacket provides breathability

The basis of a good hardshell is water resistance and the transference of water vapor from the body. The TorrentStretch membrane with a breathability of 30,000 g/m2/24h, is responsible for both. Another parameter worth paying attention to when choosing a hardshell jacket is the RET evaporative resistance coefficient. In this way, the permeability of water vapor through the membrane, i.e. breathability, is determined. The lower the RET factor, the less resistance, so the jacket breathes better. The best quality is in the 0-6 RET range, and the Squall Hardshell has <5 RET, which is very good.

Proven ways for better ventilation

Underarm vents add breathability. They provide better ventilation and, if necessary, help regulate body temperature. Same with adjustable cuffs fastened with hook & loop, and welts: two in the hood, one sewn to the bottom of the jacket. With so many options to adjust the fit of the jacket to the body, you can easily adapt it to the weather conditions. The jacket is equipped with solid stoppers from Woojin.

Practical solutions for any weather

Hardshell Squall has been designed so that in winter an additional warming layer can be placed under it (e.g. Wolfhound Hoodie Jacket). Because of that the hardshell will work as an independent jacket in the spring and as an outer layer for winter expeditions. It has three pockets, two of which are lowered compared to the men's model to improve comfort. The third pocket is placed inside for documents or a phone. The hook & loop on the left shoulder will facilitate personalization. In addition, the Squall Jacket takes up little space when folded. Rolled up it fits into its hood.

How to care for a jacket with a membrane

Technologically advanced products require special care to serve as long as possible. The membrane jacket should be maintained according to the instructions so that it does not lose its waterproof and breathability parameters. To strengthen them, it is worth systematically renewing the hydrophobic cover with DWR impregnant.

What to wear under a hardshell

To be able to take full advantage of the features of the Squall Hardshell Jacket, you should wear clothing made of technical materials under it, supporting the free transport of moisture. In this way, the water vapor from the body gets out of the jacket efficiently and effectively.

Nice, sturdy and easy to assemble.
Color: Rustic Brown and Black, Color: Rustic Brown and Black
Worked great for our small apartment. We needed something to fit over our heater baseboard and this worked! However, we had to swap the bottoms and top side rods to fit this way, meaning instead of using the 6” rods at the bottom we put them on top and used the 12” at bottom to clear over the baseboards. Easy to assemble and matched our other larger wall shelf perfectly.

Bought one first then decided we wanted another! They look great for decorations plus for our babies toys! Comes with everything you need, drywall screws and all. Would buy another if I need it in the future!

Looks Fantastic, but you HAVE to follow the setup directions!
Color: Rustic Brown and Black
BLUF: I bought this for my office to display photos, awards, and such and I am very happy with the purchase. Background: I moved into a new house and needed to organize my office. Like most people, I have a bunch of nicknacks, paperweights, and small gifts given over time. And like most people, I had no efficient nor aesthetically pleasing way to display all of the items. I didn't want a big solid bookcase, but more of a display case to show them all off. I bought this and am very happy with the results. I would suggest it to anyone, however it is not perfect. PROS: Enough shelves with enough space to hold all of the small items that I had. It is solid if installed correctly. Additionally, it is smaller and fits flush against the wall, giving the room organization and improving it, while not overburdening it and making the room feel crowded. CONS: The main issue is that the single bar going up through all of the shelves makes it very flimsy if you don't secure it to the wall. YOU MUST SECURE IT TO THE WALL PROPERLY!!! I cannot express that more. Once you do, it becomes a solid piece, but it will not function properly if you do not secure it at all 4 attachment points. Overall: I would buy this again!
