This is a very comfortable, warm, and well-made fleece. Personally, I find it hard to get used to the pockets placed on the chest, but the small compartments inside them work brilliantly for carrying a torch, keys, or pepper spray, which keeps everything organised. I recommend this fleece and would buy it again without hesitation.

Size: L

This is already my fourth fleece from Helikon, and once again I am very satisfied. Great product. Size L fits well for 183 cm height and 87 kg weight, and additionally a sweatshirt fits underneath it without any problem. The hood is comfortable and appropriately roomy, and the material itself is really warm. It has proven itself in the field and, as long as there is no precipitation, it serves me even in winter as an outer layer. Definitely a product worth recommending.

Size: M

I chose size M at 180 cm tall and 78 kg in weight, and it fits well. I even thought it would be a bit longer, but the length is right, and the sleeves sit as they should on my build and do not stick out. In this version, a flannel shirt can still fit under the fleece without any problem, and the fleece itself also sits well when worn just over a T-shirt. It is genuinely very warm, has quite a few extra features, the colour is rich, and the material is exceptionally soft. We’ll see how it holds up over time.

Size: M

The fleece is very thick, durable and well made. At 10 degrees, I wear it over a short-sleeved T-shirt and it still feels really warm, and with a thinner sweatshirt underneath, it can easily replace a jacket.

This is definitely one of my best purchases. Great fleece – very warm and comfortable. The pockets are perfectly placed and their number is just right. The zips are strong and work flawlessly. The hood is large and has a peak. I usually wear it as an outer layer, but sometimes I put it on under a jacket. If anyone is hesitating, I highly recommend it – you won't be disappointed.

I'm not sure if this fleece needs any more recommendations, as I think everyone has already noticed its strengths. It's very warm, extremely comfortable, and looks fantastic. Practical pockets and an excellent hood with a visor are features every user will definitely appreciate. I use it both for duty and in the mountains, and it's also perfect for cycling on colder days. In my opinion, it's a real hit.

I wear size XL, and it comes up a bit large, but that is actually a plus because in winter you can wear something underneath the hoodie. The hoodie itself is great: warm, comfortable, with lots of pockets and ventilation under the arms. In my opinion, this is a very good purchase, so I recommend it.

Size: M

I’ve been using this fleece for over six months. At first, I had some doubts because I expected a thicker material, but in the end it turned out that it still keeps you warm quite well. A big advantage is the number of pockets, and I especially liked the one on the back — it works great for carrying a water bottle while cycling. Would I buy it again? Probably not, and certainly not for that kind of money. I bought it myself on sale for 250 PLN, but in my opinion that is still too much for a Chinese product that was only designed in Poland.

Very warm fleece and exceptionally comfortable. The material is thick and soft, the many pockets are super practical, and the hood is really well designed. A versatile jacket that can easily be worn on its own or under another layer.

Size: L

Great material and well-placed pockets; at 95 kg and 184 cm tall, size L fits perfectly. In addition, a sweatshirt fits underneath without any problem.

A really warm and very comfortable fleece, the material is thick and pleasant. The many pockets are very practical, and the cut makes it easy to wear a layer underneath. The finish is excellent, with very good detailing. A really good product.

Size: XXL

Very comfortable gilet to wear. It is perfectly suited to harsh environments and keeps you very warm. With a T-shirt under the gilet, tested down to an outside temperature of 3 degrees. My top recommendation.

I wear the Patriota during the coldest months of the year. It is a true classic among thick military and outdoor fleece jackets, designed for prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures. A solid fleece made for exceptionally wintry conditions.

I've had this fleece for about 3–4 years, and it still hardly shows any signs of wear. I use it throughout the autumn, winter, and spring seasons, practically for everything. I bought it on sale at one point for 160 PLN, and I think it was money very well spent. The only drawback is the lack of an inner collar that would fit snugly around the neck.
