This is a functional fleece for physical activity. Thanks to its unusual construction, it wicks sweat moisture to the outside more effectively than standard models, which is why it works very well with thermal base layers. I use it all year round and appreciate the availability of different colour options. However, reinforcements on the shoulders and elbows would be useful. In autumn, it works well when worn over a cotton or thermal shirt. In the mountains, it can be too warm during ascents, but during breaks it does its job. I recommend it.

Size: LAt 1.80 m and 80 kg, I spent a long time deciding between M and L. The size L is slightly too big for me. Great: the very large number of pockets, which unfortunately adds to the weight. Even so, the price-performance ratio is outstanding.

The fleece fits well, and the sizing matches the description. The material feels pleasant to the touch and can easily be incorporated into everyday wear. Helikon delivers as usual.

Size: S
A very unusual-looking fleece with excellent material quality, and I’d also like to separately mention the quality of the hardware. It is very warm, although it looks light and actually is light. I liked the side pockets — it feels like slipping your hands into a kangaroo pocket. There are stiff inserts in the sleeves, so for now it’s convenient to roll them up. I was also considering the Patriot from Helikon, but I preferred this one because it has no hood. The size fit perfectly according to the size chart 10/10

Size: L
Excellent mid-season jacket; in my case, size L in khaki (5'11" and 183 lbs). It fits the body very well, is durable in the field, doesn’t lose its shape after washing, and is very comfortable to wear. I particularly appreciate its careful design, the small pockets inside the chest pocket, and the mesh lining. The YKK zips are excellent and glide very smoothly (for me, that’s often less true of YKK Aqua zips, which can be a bit stiff). I’m considering getting another one in a different colour. Ideal for bivouacking on summer evenings or on cool mornings! I highly recommend it!

I normally wear size M but looking at the size chart I decided on S for this jacket. It fits me perfectly so the size chart was accurate. I like the mesh liner very much, the jacket is tailored well, very happy with this purchase!

Size: L
I liked this fleece. It is not very thick, and thanks to the square cells it breathes well. I use it as a second layer when hiking, and then I put on a windproof jacket. It keeps me fairly warm and also breathes well.

I’ve been using it for several seasons as a lightweight insulating layer under a jacket, and on warmer days I wear it on its own. It’s a carefully made, lightweight, and well-fitting fleece sweatshirt.

This is a very comfortable fleece that is perfect for cooler days. It is lightweight, keeps you warm, and is comfortable to wear, while the material remains soft and pleasant to the touch. The sweatshirt fits the body well and does not restrict movement. The quality is of a high standard, and even after several uses it still looks very good. I am very satisfied with this purchase and would choose it again without hesitation.

Size: M
Very good jacket that keeps you warm without feeling heavy. Helikon-Tex did a good job. The stitching is unusual, but you get used to the style easily. The drawcords at the bottom let you adjust it properly. I recommend it. I’m 1.70 m tall and weigh 73 kg, and I chose size M. It isn’t too tight, which makes it possible to wear clothes underneath without discomfort.

Size: XL
This is a very comfortable and carefully made fleece. It provides good warmth while not being too thick, so it is also great for wearing under a jacket. Another plus is the large number of functional pockets and the durable zips.

The sweatshirt is fine, it stands out with its interesting texture and way of stitching. Would I recommend it to others? If you can afford this expense and you care about a military style, it's definitely worth considering buying.

M... Review confirmed by purchase
I have been using this product for a few months and I am very satisfied. I am 170 cm tall, weigh about 83 kg, and I chose size M, which in my opinion fits best, especially since I often wear an extra layer over the fleece. At this height, size L would probably have sleeves that are too long.

Very well made, although the size XS still turned out to be a bit too big for me. I didn’t return it; it’s something I’ll definitely need. The colour, texture—everything is wonderful.
