I decided to buy the jacket after positive recommendations from friends. I wasn't disappointed – the size fits perfectly, and the jacket itself is very lightweight. A practical advantage is the ability to fold it into a compact cover, which makes it easy to carry. Previously, I wore this jacket borrowed from a friend and it worked great – it kept me warm despite its small size. You can wear it as an outer layer or use it as extra insulation. I tested it both under and over the Patriot fleece from Helikon. All of this made me decide to buy my own jacket.

Very good jacket for spring. Of course, the material is not resistant to contact with sharp or protruding objects, but it wasn't designed for that. It works perfectly for everyday use in the city or at work.

A jacket that could have been perfect (cut, lightness, compactness, pockets, zips, thermal properties, effectiveness of the camo pattern) but has a huge flaw: the fabric has nothing to do with true ripstop; the slightest bramble thorn can tear it. A shame for an "outdoor" garment, especially as its camo pattern (Pencott Wildwood in this case) is intended for vegetated environments (in Europe that inevitably means brambles and other thorny plants).

Super warm yet comparatively lightweight jacket – perfect for cold days. The insulation works reliably even in damp conditions, and the fit is comfortable. Good craftsmanship and practical pockets make it my reliable outdoor companion.

Excellent blouson. I particularly appreciate it as I have previously bought the same one in military green, as well as the version with a hood! Folded and rolled into the small carrying bag that comes with it, it doesn't take up any space in your luggage when travelling and offers good insulation quality while being very light.

What more can be said? Arriving very, very quickly after my order, this jacket looks promising! As my size is between M and L, I decided to be safe and went for L. It turns out this is a wise choice if you want to wear it with a jumper or sweatshirt underneath. I haven't worn it outside yet, but indoors, I can already feel it keeps the warmth in well and the material is very pleasant. I'm seriously considering also getting the model with a hood :)

A convenient and high-quality jacket, very light, quite suitable for the off-season. The pockets are well placed. It comes with a compression bag, which is very convenient for storing and carrying it. Great jacket, no downsides.

The jacket works great both as an insulating layer and as a standalone outer garment – it's very warm and light. I always have it with me, as this is already my third jacket from this brand. In this version, in wz 93, there are Velcro fasteners on both sleeves. I definitely recommend it!

The Wolfhound without a hood is a great addition to your wardrobe for tougher weather conditions and a very good alternative to thick fleeces or softshells. The balance between weight, comfort and price is very attractive! In severe frost, however, I would choose the version with a hood as a standalone jacket. Ideally, have both versions – it’s hard to find a better product in this price range. I sincerely recommend it!

The Wolfhound jacket without a hood is a great addition to a softshell set and an excellent alternative to heavy fleeces. The ratio of insulation, weight and packability is at a very high level! The lack of a hood isn’t a problem if you put an additional softshell or hardshell layer on top. However, if you need a jacket for winter as a primary layer, I suggest choosing the version with a hood. Ideally, have both – it’s hard to find a better product in this price range. I definitely recommend it!

An excellent jacket, it takes up very little space and is very warm. It fits easily under a uniform sweatshirt and does not stick out. Ensures thermal comfort. Highly recommended.

I've never had such a good jacket – it insulates excellently from the cold at around -4 degrees. The very breathable material means you don’t need to take it off in warm interiors.

The jacket is nice, but unfortunately it was too short for me. At first I bought size M, but it turned out to be too small, so I chose size L – it was better, but I finally decided on a hooded model, which is longer and does not widen the chest.

I wear this compact jacket on cooler days, usually in the field I have it in my backpack packed in its cover. Even though it’s thin, it retains heat very well. With the right size, you can put a thicker layer underneath and it still doesn’t restrict your range of motion, which is very comfortable during a break.

A solid jacket, I don’t have any major complaints. However, the sizing is slightly smaller – if you’re between two sizes, it’s better to choose the larger one. The jacket’s material is soft, so it can be damaged easily by sharp surfaces, so it’s worth keeping this in mind.
