Tilak® Altair Polartec® High Loft™ insulated jacket

The Altair insulated jacket is designed for movement in cold weather as well as for patrol duties. Polartec High Loft provides warmth even during activity and retains its insulating properties better than regular loft fillings after compression. Reinforced panels protect high-stress areas, and breathable zones help with heat dissipation. The overall design works in harmony – it provides warmth, doesn’t restrict movement, and doesn’t overheat the user. Exactly what counts in cold conditions.

Insulation designed for movement

The foundation is Polartec High Loft, which is intended for active use. The material warms but also manages moisture generated during movement. Even after compression, it retains its insulating properties and doesn't flatten as quickly as traditional loft fillings. Therefore, the jacket functions effectively long-term, not just for the first season.

Durability where it's needed

High-stress areas, such as the shoulders and sleeves, are protected by reinforced panels. These areas can withstand contact with gear and frequent use without quick wear. The construction is designed for real-world deployment, not for cautious handling. The overall shape and function remain intact even with repeated use.

Breathability without unnecessary heat loss

Lighter and more breathable panels are used in the underarm area to help regulate temperature during intense movement. Heat stays where it should, while excess moisture escapes. This ensures the jacket doesn’t feel cumbersome even during prolonged wear. Movement remains smooth and natural.

Functional cut and details

Anatomically shaped sleeves support natural arm movement without pulling the material. Elastic cuffs keep the sleeves in place and don’t require constant adjustment. The bottom hem can be adjusted as needed, and the two-way zipper makes handling easier during movement or sitting. Everything serves a function, with nothing superfluous.

Storage space under control

Four zippered chest pockets provide space for small items that need to stay within reach. Internal loops help secure smaller equipment against loss. The pocket arrangement makes sense whether layering or wearing the jacket alone. Easy handling of zippers, etc., is maintained even with gloves on.
