Really pleased with this hoodie. Great quality, comfortable to wear and a really nice fit without being overly baggy. The black\/melange grey looks smart enough for everyday use while still being practical, and the material feels well made. Definitely one I'd recommend.

Size: XL

This hoodie completes my Helikon collection of kangaroo hoodies — I already have the Lite, Covert and Rogue models. The sizing is standard, just like the others, and XL fits perfectly at 185 cm tall and 100 kg. I bought this model last because reviews about the shiny fabric had put me off, but here I was pleasantly surprised — the light grey version has only a very slight sheen. The hoodie looks smart and seems warm, but only time will tell whether the material will prove durable, resistant to snags like the Rogue, and free from pilling like the Covert. I will definitely try to remove the hook-and-loop patches from the sleeves and hood, because on a typically urban hoodie they are completely unnecessary. Unfortunately, Helikon often adds hook-and-loop where it is not needed and leaves it out where it really would be useful, such as on the Woodsman or Pilgrim hoodies and jackets — but that is just a characteristic of this brand. Most importantly, though, it is a great Polish company ;)

The sweatshirt is fine, it has large pockets and well-designed smaller pockets. I already have two colours of this model and I think the price is favourable. I have two sweatshirts that differ in colour and size.

The sweatshirt is great, the material feels pleasant to the touch – it's different from ordinary cotton, it seems lighter and is less warming. It has a casual look, although you can see a subtle military accent in it. A really cool item!

The sweatshirt is very comfortable and carefully made. The material is pleasant to the touch, retains warmth well, and is perfect for both everyday wear and outdoor activities. The cut allows freedom of movement, and the pockets are functional and spacious. The sturdy zips and solid finishing are also worth mentioning. The black colour is classic and easy to match with other clothing. Overall, the sweatshirt looks great and is very comfortable to wear.

The sweatshirt has an interesting, slightly military style – it's discreet but stands out with its character. The material is interesting in terms of texture, and the workmanship and quality are very good. The promotional price is attractive.

I think this sweatshirt is a great choice – it’s very comfortable. The number of pockets is perfect, but that’s standard for Helikon. I usually wear size M and this size fits me well, although I would prefer it to be 5 cm shorter (I’m 175 cm tall), but I’ve got used to it and it’s not a problem. The sweatshirt is warmer than the Alpha Tactical, but it has a different purpose. I am very satisfied with this purchase and am considering getting another one :-). I’ve seen opinions about the material supposedly being “shiny” – I had some concerns, but in my view the shine is minimal and looks attractive. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Very nice sweatshirt, ideal for spring and autumn days. You can put it on over a t-shirt, as it is warm enough and offers a little rain protection. The sizes are a bit confusing, it's worth comparing with your own clothes.

The sweatshirt is very comfortable and provides warmth. The material is pleasant to the touch, the zipper works flawlessly. Everything is carefully finished. Additional advantages are the nice colours and favourable price. I'm also very pleased with the presence of velcro on the shoulders.

Very good sweatshirt, but you need to be careful with the size selection. I usually wear L in Helikon, but based on other reviews, I chose M and it turned out to be perfect.

I bought this hoodie after accidentally damaging my Tactical Hoodie Light. My first impression was odd because of the shiny material. For everyday use, the hoodie is fine, but after a few months I went back to the Light version because I prefer its material – it’s more pleasant, not shiny, and looks better for daily wear. I’m 185 cm and 100 kg, size L fits well in both this and the Light model.

The sweatshirt is comfortable, lightweight and at the same time warm. The material is very pleasant and durable. The pocket design is well thought out, and the zips are solid. Visually, I also like it very much, especially the Grey colour. I definitely recommend the product.

A really top-class sweatshirt. It stands out for its solid workmanship, it's thick and pleasant to the touch. It has functional little pockets. You can immediately feel it's a great product. That's rare when it comes to clothes... I wish all things looked like this :P Highly recommended!

Very comfortable. At 182 cm height and 85 kg weight, size L fits perfectly. The workmanship is of a high standard. Durable zippers. The hood is neat, it doesn't stick out, making the whole look aesthetic.

A very well-made, comfortable and practical sweatshirt. Thanks to the numerous pockets, it's suitable both for everyday wear and the shooting range. It is made of thick, warm material, so it's best for colder days.
