An additional advantage is that it comes from a Polish manufacturer, which supports the local economy.

Helikon-Tex Patriot MK2 Hybrid Fleece - wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland
Hooded sweatshirt sewn from high-quality fleece, which provides thermal insulation even at very low temperatures, while effectively wicking away excess heat and moisture. The use of two-layer Hybrid Fleece material with different properties allows you to achieve great thermal protection while remaining lightweight.
340 g/m2 grammage, reinforced sleeves
The outer layer is made of thick fleece with a grammage of 340 g/m2, while the inner layer is made of Grid Fleece with a mesh structure, which increases comfort and improves breathability. For optimal temperature regulation, zipped ventilation openings have been added under the arms. The cuffs are equipped with elastic drawstrings that adjust to the wrists.
Zip, extended cut
The sweatshirt is equipped with a two-way zip. The back is slightly extended, which effectively protects the lower back from the cool wind. The design allows easy access to pockets and equipment worn on the waistband. The hood is spacious enough to fit over a hat, and the soft visor prevents water from running down your face. The hood is sewn to the collar in a way that protects the neck from the wind, even when not worn. The shoulder pockets feature soft Velcro panels for attaching patches or emblems. Laser-cut panels with grommets allow you to wear additional accessories such as tactical pens or small torches.

wz.93 Pantera camouflage pattern
The wz.93 Pantera camouflage pattern is currently used by the Polish Armed Forces. It was the first camouflage pattern designed and introduced for widespread use in the Third Republic of Poland. The 1993 pattern combines mimetic and deforming properties through the use of irregular spots of various sizes. The combination of green, brown, and black colours makes the Pantera the right answer to the question: what camouflage is the right choice for Polish forests? Uniforms in this camouflage are also required for students of Military Uniform Classes.

Hybrid Fleece
Hybrid Fleece is a hybrid fleece fabric with a two-layer construction. The outer material is a classic fleece, while the inner material is a so-called Grid Fleece with a mesh structure that improves breathability while maintaining warmth.
Grid Fleece
Grid Fleece is a type of fleece characterized by a mesh construction that allows for efficient moisture wicking, providing faster drying and better ventilation. It allows to maintain thermal comfort, through the air that is trapped inside the mesh cells, creating an insulating layer. It is usually made of synthetic fibers blend, thanks to which it is also lightweight, soft and flexible.

I had some doubts about buying this fleece – initially I considered the PRO version, which suited me better for UHS, but in the end I decided on this model. The fleece is quite loose, so if you plan to wear it under a jacket, it’s better to choose a smaller fleece size or a bigger jacket size than usual. It insulates warmth very well, but in stronger winds it’s worth putting a Softshell over it. I’m very satisfied with the product.

I really like this fleece I was originally going to get the mk1 but I wasn't so keen on the hood on that version and I much prefer the smaller hood on the mk2. At 188cm and 105kg the 3XL fits me well. If you're backpacking wearing this fleece is a good option as it is very breathable and there are zippers under the armpits for even more air flow. On cold days when I am doing a less intense activity such as walking the dog I pair this with a water proof jacket which is a very warm set up.

I bought the Patriot Mk2 because I wanted one fleece that could handle random everyday stuff and being outside for a while, and it’s basically turned into my default outer layer. It’s the kind of jacket you put on “for a minute” and then realize you’ve worn it three days in a row because it just works.

This is already my second mk2. It works great on cooler, but not very cold days, it's very practical and has roomy pockets. It doesn't warm as much as the first version of the Patriot, but it's warm enough. It would be nice if Helikon released a version without a hood.
-
Great material and quality of stitching. It insulates heat excellently, and the pocket arrangement is perfect – congratulations to Helikon. Size M fits perfectly for a height of 180 cm and a chest circumference of 100 cm.

I think this is probably the nicest Helikon fleece – it fits great, the pockets are functionally placed, and it really keeps you warm. You can often get it on sale, so the price is attractive.

Good outdoor jacket for walks in cold weather. The multiple pockets are very useful and well placed. Comfortable to wear and warm, it effectively keeps out the cold. The zipped openings under the arms are a bonus for wicking away sweat.

It works perfectly on colder days. It is very warm, practical, and made of nice material. The hood is a great addition and, in my opinion, is better than the version without a hood. I wholeheartedly recommend the purchase.

The fleece has an excellent thickness – it doesn’t restrict freedom of movement and works great as a second layer under a jacket. It is very breathable, which is great for moisture wicking during activity, although for some people this can be both an advantage and a drawback. No Velcro at the cuffs is a plus, and the smaller hood works well with a climbing helmet. The large number of pockets increases practicality, and the additional ventilation on the sleeves is a big advantage. The careful interior finish shows attention to detail and gives the product a high quality that matches the price. Fast shipping and efficient returns allowed me to try out different sizes and colours, which made me fully satisfied with the purchase.

The fleece is comfortable and has practically arranged pockets. The downside is the zip, which can be difficult to fasten – this issue also happens to a friend who wears a smaller size. I have another fleece from the same brand with a zip fastening from the bottom, and that model does not have this problem.

This is a fleece sweatshirt, and for me, it's superb. The cut fits well, it has an extended back, long sleeves, a high collar, and very pleasant material. With my 174 cm and 83 kg, size M is great – it fits well and isn’t too tight. I also have the Patriot in the classic version – it’s more of a fleece jacket than just a sweatshirt. It’s almost indestructible, apart from the Velcro, but has short sleeves and a very wide cut, which doesn’t suit me entirely. It’s more suitable as an outer layer for intensive use. The MK2, on the other hand, is a light, typical fleece sweatshirt. These are two completely different products, not just new versions of the same thing.

Polar works great both during various outdoor activities such as hiking, camping or working outside, as well as for everyday use. It is worth waiting for a promotion because you can get a good deal. I have no complaints.
-
I used the MK1 for three years, then bought the MK2 and unfortunately after two months of use the drawstring from the hood broke. Additionally, the main zip is difficult to use. The pockets are made from mesh, not solid material like in the MK1, and the price is higher despite the poorer quality.
