Softshells have taken a good place for everyday use. Tactical wear is just as important as the "tacticool" urban lifestyle. PENTAGON - the Greek gear manufacturer, not the one from the USA - offers the Artaxes Softshell, a particularly nice specimen that we at SPARTANAT have taken a look at.

The Artaxes comes in many different colors, we received it in the modern Urban Grey, which is currently on trend. The jacket is hip-length, which makes it comfortable to wear, because you can still easily put your hands in the front pockets. Who would want to go without their "American gloves" when it gets colder.

The collar not only looks bulky, it is bulky. This is because the softshell has a full hood that is rolled up in the collar, waiting to be used.

The chest pockets are placed higher and are also great for keeping hands warm.

A good softshell needs Velcro. It lays fluffy over the upper arm pocket and can be found on both sides. Who would want to go out without their patch...

The air conditioning is built in. Under the arms, there are zippers that can be opened to counteract any heat waves.

The cuffs on the sleeves can be tightened with a strap. There is also a small compartment on the forearm, which is convenient for storing a ticket or an ID.

The warming chest pocket from the inside. To provide more storage space, there is also a pocket attached in normal fabric.

The secret of Artaxes is the waffle fleece in the jacket. It is fixed in and makes the softshell a garment that prefers cooler to cold weather, but is then pleasantly warm.

On the outside, the softshell is water-repellent and has a column up to 8,000 mm. That's nice, but it still doesn't make the softshell a raincoat. On the back, there is a compartment that can be opened with two zippers. It looks cool and is probably practical if you're lying on the ground as a sniper and have a compartment you can easily access. We never really used this feature (even though it's present in several of our jackets).

Logo patch and a solid zipper that can be opened from top to bottom and vice versa complete the whole thing.

CONCLUSION: Artaxes is a great softshell for everyday use. Fully equipped, well-made, and at an extremely attractive price, the wearer can really put this jacket to the test.

You can get the PENTAGON Artaxes Softshell at all retailers carrying PENTAGON, in Grey, Black, Coyote, Green, and Pentacamo. 99 euros is a really good price for it.
