    This is already my second favourite hoodie in the collection. This time I chose the red one, and I think the colour looks great. It certainly won’t be my last purchase. It’s comfortable, warm, fits well, has plenty of pockets, and a hook-and-loop patch on the sleeve. I fully recommend it.

    The sweatshirt is really worth its price. The material quality, the durability of the cuffs and zippers even exceed those of slightly cheaper sweatshirts from well-known high-street brands. This is already my fourth sweatshirt from this manufacturer, and the whole family wears Helikon sweatshirts. It’s a solid product with a thoughtful design, practical shoulder pockets, and an additional inner pocket on the right side. The green colour is calm and slightly muted, and looks very good. The sweatshirt keeps its shape after washing, and both the red and black colours remain vibrant. The durability of this product is thanks to the well-balanced polyester ratio. The sweatshirt is sturdy and warm. Only one note: the size might be slightly larger than standard market sizes. I definitely recommend it if anyone is hesitating.

    This is already my fourth sweatshirt from this series. At first glance, everything seems fine, but you can notice a decline in quality compared with the earlier versions. The material is clearly different. It’s a shame, because these are my favourite sweatshirts and I was hoping this one would be great as well, but it’s just average. You can see that Helikon is starting to cut costs at the expense of quality.

    Great sweatshirt! It fits exceptionally well, has a very good cut, and is really comfortable to wear. The material feels nice to the touch, and the workmanship gives a very solid impression. It's definitely one of the best sweatshirts I've had — I can recommend it with complete confidence.

    The sweatshirt is of very good quality. The size fits well, the material is durable, and the overall design is functional. The pockets are thoughtfully arranged and effectively keep their contents secure. I definitely recommend it.

    Great cut for everyday EDC use; for me, size M fits perfectly, like everything from Helikon (such as T-shirts, etc.). The materials and all the little details make this hoodie one of my favourites for civilian use. Love the blue colour.

    This is probably the Helikon sweatshirt that I liked the most. I really like its design and the discreet pocket on the sleeve. The blue colour looks great. I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

    Received today in BLUE, wearing it looks very nice, the quality, as with all Helikon products, is top-notch. I wear everything from Helikon, size M, height 178cm, 79kg, it fit me perfectly as always. Although some comments mention that the model is too large and you should get a size smaller, I took the risk and got my usual M, and I was right. In reality, the model is a bit loose, but that's the style I prefer to wear.

    A well-made sweatshirt with a universal cut that combines everyday and sporty style with a subtle military touch. The material is thick and solid, definitely better than the thin sweatshirts from well-known sports brands with large logos. I definitely recommend it.

    Very nice hoodie, and seems to be of decent quality and material. I quick washed it before first use, and did not observe any degradation. Minor shrinkage as expected. I am 180cm and 88kg, medium build, and bought size M in green. I like the cut very much, and this size is perfect for me in both sleeve and total length. The cut in this size is comfortably snug for me, and stretchy material enables me to be active. Will probably purchase in other colours as well!

    I'm a little disappointed with this sweatshirt. It has a nice cut and is warm, but after the first wash, bobbles appeared on it... It's a shame because for this price and from this brand I expected better quality.

    Great sweatshirt, well made and of good quality material. Unlike sweatshirts from popular shops, which stretch quickly, this one has kept its shape for 5 months now. The extra pockets, especially the kangaroo pocket, are very practical. I'm ordering another one in a different colour.

    Magnificent practical hoodie, sturdy and functional... Impeccable quality and finish characteristic of the brand which, be aware, runs large... Remember to take a size smaller than your usual size!

    I really like the sweatshirt. The workmanship is great, the material is thick, substantial and very pleasant to the touch. The pockets are practical. The product is really high quality. I highly recommend it.
