Product information & specifications
Harkie Defiance Jacket – Grey
The Harkie Defiance Jacket in grey is a premium waterproof jacket engineered for arborists and outdoor professionals who demand maximum protection from the elements without sacrificing comfort or mobility. Constructed from advanced RainBlok fabric, this jacket achieves the highest levels of waterproofness and breathability, meeting EN ISO 343:2019 Class 4:4 standards.
Building on the success of the renowned Innovation II range, the Defiance introduces a number of user-influenced improvements. Its ergonomic slimmer cut reduces bulk while maintaining freedom of movement during climbing, cutting or ground work. Tough reinforced elbow patches increase durability in high-wear areas, while underarm ventilation zips allow excess heat to escape during physically demanding tasks.
The sleek grey colourway offers a modern professional appearance, making the Defiance suitable for both on-site work and branded team clothing. With a strategic hood design that folds neatly into the collar when not in use and practical waterproof storage, the Defiance Jacket is built for reliable performance in the toughest weather conditions.
