Helikon-Tex Infantry fleece - Black

A soft and warm zip-up fleece jacket designed as an insulating layer for cold days. It effectively retains heat while allowing moisture and excess warmth generated during physical activity to escape. The Helikon-Tex Infantry model is made from durable fleece with a weight of 380 g/m². Its looser cut allows for comfortable wearing of additional layers, such as a lightweight sweatshirt or thermal clothing. A slightly extended back provides better protection for the kidneys against the cold, while the overall design does not restrict access to pockets or gear worn on the belt.

Breathable fleece

The fleece is made of 100% quick-drying polyester with a weight of 380 g/m². The material provides a high level of insulation and breathability, allowing excess moisture to escape and preventing body cooling. The fabric is durable and resistant to damage, making the jacket suitable for outdoor activities in rough terrain, whether hiking or performing tactical tasks.

Roomy pockets

The fleece is equipped with four zippered pockets:

  • two classic hip pockets,
  • one chest pocket,
  • one shoulder pocket (left side)

The zippers on the hip pockets are sewn in at an angle, making it easier to store and retrieve carried items. Additionally, each zipper is finished with a fabric pull tab, allowing for easier grip even when wearing thick gloves.

Material reinforcements and high collar

The fleece is reinforced with abrasion-resistant material on the elbows, shoulders, the flaps protecting the hip pocket zippers, and the lower inner section. Elastic cuffs have been replaced with Velcro-adjustable tabs, allowing the sleeve circumference to be customized. The high collar protects the neck from cold and wind, helping to maintain better body thermal regulation. The back of the collar is reinforced with fabric to prevent wear caused by contact with a weapon sling.

Velcro Panels

Velcro strips have been sewn onto both sides of the chest and on both sleeves, allowing the attachment of various emblems, such as a national flag, unit insignia, or so-called Morale Patches, giving the fleece a personalized touch.

    Size: M

    I wear a size L jacket, so I deliberately took this fleece in size M. It turned out to be the perfect choice for an additional insulating layer under the jacket in cold weather — it sits close enough without creating bulk, yet still leaves room to move freely. The fit is good, and it doesn’t restrict movement at all. The quality of the fleece itself is excellent. The heavy 380 g/m² material feels dense, soft and properly warm while remaining breathable. One of the best practical details is the elongated back section — it covers the lower back and kidneys really well and keeps that area protected from the cold. The lower pockets are another strong point. Even with a plate carrier on top, they remain accessible and usable, which is very convenient. The reinforced panels on the shoulders are also well thought out — they allow you to wear a plate carrier without quickly wearing out or damaging the fabric in the high-friction areas. I also added a side zipper on the right side, which lets me unzip the fleece from the side for quick access to a holster under the weapon. It’s a simple but very useful modification that makes the fleece even more practical for everyday carry. Overall, this is a solid, well-designed mid-layer that does exactly what it’s supposed to. Comfortable, durable and practical for both everyday use and more demanding conditions. Happy with the purchase.

    If someone needs a thick, warm fleece in a traditional style, this will be a great choice. I’ve been using it for about two years, and it performs really well, even when temperatures drop below zero.

    Size: XXL

    A very pleasant and comfortable fleece that is also warm and solidly made. In some places, single threads or small pieces of material do stick out, but that is a minor issue that can easily be trimmed off with scissors. It is also worth paying attention to the sizing — at 192 cm tall and 82 kg, size M is perfectly sufficient.

    Size: XS

    The quality is excellent. I believe it's worth paying extra for this model rather than choosing cheaper options. My daughter says it keeps her almost as warm as a jacket. At 165 cm tall, it fits her perfectly.

    Size: M

    The fleece is very warm, solidly made, and looks good, resembling the standard Polish military liner. A major downside, however, is that the Velcro panels are too small, so patches and rank insignia do not fit on them.

    This fleece sweatshirt fully satisfied me. It is warm, comfortable, and very pleasant to the touch. The material remains lightweight while effectively protecting against the cold, which makes it perfect for walks, trips, and everyday use. The fit is comfortable, and the quality of workmanship deserves recognition. I wholeheartedly recommend this product.

    The Helikon-Tex fleece is one of the best-value options in its class in terms of price-to-quality ratio. If you need a durable, very warm, and comfortable fleece for autumn and winter — for the shooting range, the woods, or everyday wear around the house — it will be a purchase that lasts for many years.

    Size: 3XL

    A very good, thick, and soft-to-the-touch fleece, ideal for exceptionally cold days or freezing weather as a layer under a jacket. As you would expect from Helikon, the build quality is genuinely at a very high level. The zips operate lightly and smoothly without snagging, which is not always standard with other manufacturers. Bought on sale, it is particularly good value 😊

    If you choose Helikon, you can't go wrong. The product description proves true in every listed point. The relaxed fit and good insulation are not the only reasons to expand your jacket collection.

    Very comfortable jacket. Great service jacket, the Velcro areas are well placed and sewing on patches is no problem. The reinforcements on the shoulders and arms repel wind and very light rain. High collar. Very comfortable to wear.

    I definitely recommend this fleece – it looks very warm and comfortable, does not restrict movement, and at the same time fits well at the wrists and waist. Thanks to the Velcro and drawstrings, you can adjust it individually. The material is very pleasant to the touch. I recommend it!

    Great fleece – probably the warmest and most windproof of the entire Helikon series. I own two green models, and so as not to stand out in the army, I also bought a black one, which closely resembles the original military model. The drawback of the black one is that every strand of my dog's hair is clearly visible on it.

    Great cut of the fleece sweatshirt. It’s thinner than the thickest Helikon fleeces, but due to the denser material, it protects better against the wind and provides more warmth. The material at the neck is soft and pleasant to the touch, but when I haven't shaved, it quickly wears out at the chin. It's a shame that Helikon hasn't used additional reinforcement there in any of their fleeces.

    Very good fleece from Helikon, it has the right thickness and insulates well against the cold. It is thicker than the Helikon Classic version, which I also own. Size S fits me at 78 kg, 174 cm height, and 42 cm shoulder. I bought it on promotion, so the price was really favourable. The company is reliable and the order was processed quickly and efficiently. Highly recommended.

    Top jacket, just what you want from a duty jacket, but the question remains: if you produce jackets for the military and police, why do they only get wider around the waist from size XL upwards? Size L fits me very well, except the shoulders are a bit too tight, while XL has slightly wider shoulders but a lot more material around the stomach. Jackets from size XL upwards are more suited for overweight people and not for taller people. As emergency service personnel, we should really all have a normal body shape.
