Tilak POUTNIK / Continental Jacket

A Poutnik bomber built for autumn-to-spring city life

The Continental, part of Tilak's urban Poutnik line, is a bomber jacket designed for city use. A 2-layer GORE-TEX® Infinium outer offers solid water resistance against rain and snow, while Climashield® Apex 100g/m² synthetic insulation keeps you warm through the cooler months from autumn to spring. It works as an outer layer for commuting and city walks, and as a mid layer too, depending on temperature and weather.

Poutnik is Tilak's technical wear re-edited for comfortable everyday city wear. The Continental's short bomber length and clean look pairs easily with any inner layer or bottoms, covering your daily commute, errands, and weekend outings with ease. It's built with a warmth balance that's easy to handle in places with big temperature swings, like stepping outside after an escalator or ticket gate. Throw it on for a cold morning and adjust with the zipper as the day warms up — it fits naturally into everyday rhythms.

Material and construction

The outer uses GORE-TEX® Infinium. It has water resistance that's easy to rely on through light rain or sleet, well suited to the city's changing weather. The insulation is Climashield® Apex — a synthetic fill that's easy to manage even when wet, and easy to care for day to day. With its bomber-length cut, it's easy to wear in rotation, balancing function and city-ready looks.

The 2-layer outer sheds water well, with a surface that doesn't cling even when wet. The insulation behind it holds onto body heat, keeping a comfortable, not-too-heavy warmth. The insulation isn't overly thick, striking a balance between ease of movement and warmth, making it easy to match your everyday pace — a walk to the station, a short bike ride, or a cold-weather outing.

Synthetic insulation is easy to handle day to day, so you can pick it up as a regular-rotation outer without worrying too much about weather or aftercare. It's an easy piece to reach for often once it's in your wardrobe.

Details and everyday usability

• 5 pockets in total — 4 outer (2 side, 2 chest) and 1 inner. Easy to organize your small items.
• A firm elasticated hem keeps the fit secure and cuts down on cold air getting in.
• Cuffs adjust via dedicated zippers, easy to layer over gloves or a ribbed inner cuff.

The 5 pockets give your phone, card case, earbuds, and gloves a regular spot. The chest pockets sit where they're easy to reach, even in crowded spaces. The elasticated hem follows your waist naturally through bending, sitting, and walking. The cuff zippers adjust the width easily even over thin gloves or a ribbed inner, so you can switch between blocking wind and venting as needed — the garment flexes with the small temperature swings common in city life.

Season and who it's for

Meant for autumn through spring. Works broadly as a city outer or mid layer. Men's / unisex, with official tags "urban" and "water resistant" — an easy piece to add into an everyday wardrobe.

Wear it over a T-shirt or light shirt as autumn sets in, over a sweatshirt or light fleece in the depths of winter, or against the morning chill in spring. It's not overly heavy, so it stays comfortable even after stepping indoors, cutting down on how often you need to put it on and take it off. A gender-neutral design and size range make it easy to pair with anything from business to casual styling.

Sizing tips

Compare the length, chest, shoulder, and sleeve measurements in the size chart against a top you already wear, for the most reliable fit. The bomber's slightly shorter length and the elasticated hem give a trim look around the waist. If you'll layer over a thick inner, choose a size with extra room in the chest and shoulders for easier movement.
