AB-TEX Tempest Waterproof Jacket - Navy Blue - Highlander Forces

AB-TEX Tempest Waterproof Jacket - Navy Blue - Highlander

The Highlander Tempest is a waterproof jacket designed to provide real protection in wet, windy and changeable weather. The brand and several retailers present it as a technical model in AB-TEX tri-laminate fabric, designed to remain breathable while ensuring a good barrier against rain. Its positioning is clearly oriented towards outdoor, field and active use.

AB-TEX 3-layer waterproof and breathable fabric

The product's key strength is its 3-layer tri-laminate AB-TEX fabric, designed to combine waterproofing and breathability. The product sheets consulted confirm a water resistance of 5000 mm and a breathability of 5000 g/m²/24 h, which is well suited to a jacket made to face rain and moderate exertion without trapping too much moisture.

Underarm and back ventilation to better regulate exertion

The Tempest also stands out for its ventilation solutions, with two-way zips under the arms and a ventilation panel in the back. This design helps to release heat during walking, exertion or prolonged movement, which noticeably improves comfort in a waterproof jacket.

Concealed hood and storm flap against the elements

The jacket is equipped with a concealed adjustable hood in the collar, a two-way main zip and a storm flap. Several product sheets also mention a storm collar and features designed to better block wind and rain, which enhances its appeal for unstable weather conditions.

Sealed seams and two-way zip for field use

The fully sealed seams provide better protection against water infiltration, while the elasticated wrists with hook-and-loop closure and the adjustable hem allow for a more precise fit. The lateral storm-flap pockets complete an ensemble designed to remain practical in the field.
