Helikon-Tex Windrunner Windshirt Review
Materials :
Windpack Nylon - I haven’t found any specifics about this material other than it is a tightly woven nylon
YKK Zippers
Sizes : X-Small to XX-Large
Colors : Lots of options : Coyote, Alpha Green, Black, Shadow Grey and some camo colors.
Price : Retail price is $70 - watch out for some sites, Military 1st is selling this for $113 which is a complete ripoff.
Review Pros :
Quality - There are no issues with loose threads, the stitching is perfect and in general, everything looks great.
Ultralight
Very small pack size
Wind Resistant - does a great job of blocking breezes but I wouldn’t call this windproof.
Water resistant - Definitely not waterproof but for a quick run through the rain it will bead and run off. You’ll have to reapply the DWR over time and it’s worth doing so in my opinion.
Ventilation is very good - you have vents under the arms and you can open up the pockets for additional airflow.
I like the Practical design of the shirt - there’s nothing fancy or gimmicky here.
Holds in some body heat which is nice in colder conditions.
Holds in some heat without being exceptionally hot - I’m someone who runs how and I really appreciate that.
High quality materials
Review Cons :
No Athletic fit available - when wearing the shirt, it simply hangs off of your shoulders and doesn’t have any sort of taper. In other words, it would look a bit more flattering if there was a waist taper.
The Sizing runs large - I normally wear a medium to large and I had to get a small for this to fit correctly. Even with a small, there is enough space underneath for a sweater. I would suggest to Helkion-Tex to reexamine their sizing as it’s off. I have the Wolfhound jacket from HT as well and the sizing was really off on it.
Pulling the shirt over your head can be difficult
As I mentioned, this is wind resistant but I wouldn't call it windproof by any means. In stronger gusts, unfortunately I don’t have a rating for you but in stronger gusts you will feel the wind coming through the materials. There are other windbreakers that are out on the market that work substantially better than this but there is a trade off and that’s weight.
Fragile material -

The main reason for the lack of side zips will likely be compressibility. Zips do not compress well. HAving a small, light, compressable smock that can go in any pocket, or pouch, is a very good idea and in keeping with Helikon-Tex's love of small pockets and pouches :) As for size/style, I personal;ly think this is irrelevant in a piece of functional gear. I also suspect that the sizing is based on this being a piece of over=clothing, that canbe pulled out and placed over already worn gear to add wind and water resistence.

@dimi7055 Год назад

being wind resistant not windproof is often a design choice not a con. Because if you make something fully wind proof you might as well buy a rain jacket. The point of a wind shirt is to be somewhat wind resistant but still breath way better than a waterproof so you wont get wet from sweat during activity.

@protectpersevere2030 Год назад

Agreed! this is geared towards active movements that just take the edge of windchill but allows some wind to cool your body off in high tempo movements

@olyokie Год назад

C'mon man.... That's not even close to accurate.

@dimi7055 Год назад

@@olyokie You're clueless if you think that is not accurate. You can buy a 5 dollar wind jacket that is fully wind proof. It has nothing to do with a wind jacket. Go read some hiking forums and get some knowledge about CFM and why a fully windproof jacket is useless for activity. All the expensive Pertex fabrics allow for some wind to come through, and for good reason! For example the normal Patagonia houdini is almost wind proof, yet the houdini air that allows for some wind to come through costs double because its much easyer to make a windproof than to make a balanced garment.

@olyokie Год назад

@@dimi7055 Oh dimmy, I've only got 45 years climbing, hiking and scrambling in the Olympics and Cascades. Multiple summits of Rainier and Baker, Shuksan, Stuart and several others in NCNP... Dozens of extended trips into and across both ranges. Never had a problem with wind breakers of any kind..... It's called layering son. What goofy fn thing for you to claim.

@dimi7055 Год назад

@@olyokie 45 years of exp and no idea about the importance of CFM? wow, that's an achievement in and of itself. Or maybe you are just stuck in old habits and have no idea about current fabrics. Anyway just know you are wrong and i am right on this one. Regardless of your exp. And what does layering have to do about the CFM of a jacket lol? Your windproof is gonna breath better because of layering? You are gonna sweat less in a non breathable garment because of layering? What a goofy thing for you to claim. There are plenty of people with years of exp yet never took the time or effort to do some real research about optimization. You are one of them!

@1adamuk Год назад

Interesting. I think if you're going to add a side zip you might as well make the front zip longer so even easier to get on and off.

@protectpersevere2030 11 месяцев назад

Hey Luke any experience with the Tramontane full zip version of this? Torn on buying the tramontane vs the half zip wind runner. The tramontane has a full zip which is nice for layering but the half zip version has both armpit and chest mesh vents that might prevent any overheating. Thoughts?

@christopherneil4879 Год назад

Great impartial review as always Luke. Keep up the content. As a side note Military1st, being UK Based, comes up reasonably priced for most items, in British Pounds the Windrunner comes in at £59.90 RRP

@Danefrak Год назад

This product is very similar to my beyond a4 wind shirt. It has stretch panels though

@Jack-sk4mp Год назад

I got one of these years ago in XL and green. I could not agree with you more, it is definitely wind-resistant but it is great for a light wind layer. 100% comfortable and has been really great in the cooler months.

@WisconsinEric Год назад

Removing an anorak often lifts my shirt and exposes my concealed carry piece. For that reason I have moved away from them. I prefer full-zip

@Golddragon214 Год назад

I think this shirt looks great and may have a use in camp to keep the cold breeze off. Even at $70 I think its just a little too expensive.

@engineeredlifeform Год назад

I have a few similar half zip anorak type jackets, and I really like them. They are great to throw in a pack in case the weather turns, I've used them as a layer under a full on Winter parka, and the front pouch is great for quick access. I'm not too bothered about the less flattering cut, I'm not as slim as I used to be : -)

@MrIisAmazing Год назад

If you order directly from their international store they run European sizing. I always order a size smaller and it fits perfectly. I have two of the wolfhound jackets and many different pairs of their pants and bag's, absolutely love them!

@walterdanielswalter.r.dani7628 Год назад

Hi. Glad I caught this short review. I noticed in previous episodes that you have the same watch as I do- A Garmin Instinct (solar I presume) Our watches have a built in thermometer in addition to the Garmin connect weather ap. It will measure ambient air temperature BUT you have to remove it from your wrist. I use mine all the time even though most of my adventuring takes place out of cell range- Stick your watch in the fridge and give it a test. Happy Trails!

@keepgoing1973 Год назад

I see they make it in midget size but do they fit normal sized people?

@garethdwatkins Год назад

I have the British army issue PCS Lightweight Thermal Smock, that is virtually the same design, but has side zippers and a fleece liner. It is meant to go under the MTP Windproof smock and replaced the standard fleece jackets from the past... I have both and they make a great fishing set, and if it gets really cold you can add the padded thermal jacket, and if it rains add a goretex outer jacket.. All this is a similar idea to the US layered systems

@scottmyers4802 Год назад

For 70 bucks it should be water and wind proof. Just my opinion.

@floyd2386 Год назад

It's designed with a purpose and being wind and water proof goes against that purpose. It has mesh under the armpits and has decent breathability conducive to a more active use than something water and wind proof would be.

@donnydread7631 Год назад

@robertphillips93 Год назад

Luke, a clothes-horse like you makes anything look good! But so many features and little refinements can take away from the main function of a garment. If windproofness and compact carry is all you really need, a 30D ripstop nylon hooded zipperless ventless model with good elastic at the wrist and waist might be just the ticket. The Cierzo shirt at TRC Outdoors is on sale currently for less than 40 bucks excluding shipping. Reg and long, various colors -- good emergency or everyday kit, depending on your needs.

@sheltermonkey6065 Год назад

Seems like a very poor choice compared to a jacket / windshirt from one of the main outdoor apparel manufacturers such as Mountain Hardware, Outdoor Research, Black Diamond, Rab, Patagonia, etc. Personally, I would never buy a jacket that doesn't have a full front zip... for both easy of donning and to dump heat.

@Born2007 Год назад

I’ve had one of these for about a year now. It isn’t difficult to put on if you open the zip all the way down before you put it on or take it off. I’ve also not had it tear or snag at all, I’ve even had quite a bit of German Shepherd bite work on the sleeves on mine and still zero rips or holes. I don’t have an issue with HT sizing either!

@Gdanny0 Год назад

my regular size is L, for my patriot hoodie i had to exchange L for M size and still it is a little bit oversized, i even considered swapping it for S size

@billb5732 Год назад

A "windshirt" IS a jacket. The difference between a soft shell or windbreaker and a windshirt is that the windshirt weighs 8oz or less. Agreed that anoraks don't work unless stretchy. A GOOD windshirt should breathe; it should NOT be 100% windproof.

@hurpaderpp 9 месяцев назад

I don't get how its their fault that you don't know your chest measurements and ordered the wrong size haha. They are a EU company and actually have US and EU sizing so thats why it gets weird.

I love my Windrunner. Perfect with a t-shirt or tank top for windy summer nights at concerts in non camping life. I used this backpacking in early spring (April) 2022 and was so useful.

There is a newer version of this jacket, same material, almost 2x lighter: Tramontane. I've been using Windrunner for over a year and I love it. Tramontane is better in every way with one exception: they removed almost all adjustments on the hood, so it falls of in the wind all the time.

@huntingthekaiser6490 Год назад

My experience with Helikon-Tex is believe about 80% of what the hype says. The company's choice of materials is not good. This anorak is easy to snag, and in the one I have the material gets cold and clammy. Side zippers help in getting their products on and off but need to be zipped up again when putting the anorak back on--otherwise there is a tangle. Who cares about a sporty fit really, beyond a point? It's good they run large because they do NOT block the wind and wearers need a long-sleeved fluffy shirt underneath them to keep warm. That requires more room. All in all this was a pretty good review. I wanted to put my two cents in because, I think, buyers can get better garments at cheaper prices from companies that are not as well known.

@6_pains Год назад

Love your reviews Luke, but two of your cons did not make sense to me. Being wind resistant isn’t necessarily a con, it could be an intentional choice. A wind proof garment is essentially something like a rain jacket, which this does not claim to be. The point of something like this is to still be breathable while shielding you from the wind. Lastly, the larger sizing could also be intentional. This seems to be a brand geared towards people who are in the outdoors. Which puts you in inclement weather. They’re likely making the assumption that you’re wearing additional layers, theirs among them. This video is the perfect example, you’re wearing what seems to be 3 additional layers underneath this shirt. Traditionally sized garments would be pretty uncomfortable overtop 3-4 additional layers. Still, I appreciate your unbiased commentary and reviews, Luke. Keep up the great work!

I pack my windshirt for all my hikes. I prefer one with a full front zip. That allows me to open up and ventilate if necessary. It's very effective at blocking wind and improves my overall comfort level in cool conditions. I have a Patagonia Houdini that weighs about 4 oz for a large. It's a tight fit so you might want to go up in size.

That shirt looks good on you. I think for myself, I prefer jackets that zip up the front for ease of taking on and off. If you're on the move, anything that has to pull over your head will tempt me not to shed layers when needed to prevent getting soaked with sweat, plus is easier to vent quickly and more effectively than just pit vents alone (with mesh) may allow.

With the hood up and the sunglasses I thought Unabomber ballerina doing a pirouette. however, on a serious note maybe the sizing is a possible design for those that wear gear around their midsection maybe even a low hanging chest rig. Since it billows out towards the bottom it could be good for those that have gear or maybe even a beer belly and narrow shoulders. Just a thought a little bit like how a poncho works.

I had just the opposite issue with Helikon-Tex sizing. I had to go to London back in 2015 and picked up 2 Helikon-Tex polo shirts while I was there. I bought my normal XL size and, unfortunately, I didn’t try them on until I returned home, when I found them to be much closer to a medium than an XL. In fact, I ended up giving them to a friend who wears a size medium in everything and they were slightly tight on him. It sounds as if Helikon-Tex has swung from one end of the sizing spectrum to the other.

I love the colors.The colors would suggest hiking/outdoor gear rather than running gear. For hiking gear, a lot of potential customers will be a fuller fit, and so the sizing might be appropriate. It might be called a shirt, but to my mind it is an outer layer,. I only buy outer layers with full zip, for ease of taking on/off layers (even those under the jacket). The partial zip would be a deal breaker for me.
