The fleece is extremely comfortable, provides great warmth, fits and looks very well. The drawstring at the bottom is a really great solution. I am 190 cm tall and weigh 100 kg, size L fits perfectly – it sits well but isn't too tight.

The sweatshirt is very well made and has a great cut – as always, the highest quality. It works perfectly as a layer under the Helikon Blizzard jacket. Size M fits people with a height of 180 cm and a chest circumference of 100 cm very well.
-
Good morning, the Helikon Alpha Tactical Shadow Grey fleece did not surprise me with its quality of workmanship, as it is always at a high level as is the case with Helikon. The shipment also went smoothly, which is standard for the Militaria store. The fleece, worn together with Military Wear lVl 2 underwear and the Helikon Gunfighter jacket, provides high thermal comfort even at a temperature of -5 degrees. Size L turned out to be perfect, everything fits well, providing protection against getting cold or overheating. I recommend this fleece and the Militaria store, both brands deserve recognition.
-
Recent convert to Helikon products and this didn’t disappoint on quality and good tailored fit. Love the draw strings on the bottom. Slightly tight on the sleeves but I wanted a tighter fit overall so went XL instead of XXL. Works well as stand alone top or layer under jacket. Mesh design makes it stand out as something different.
-
I have received another sweatshirt, this time in black. As always with the Helikon brand, it is a high-quality product. The sweatshirt has been tested many times outdoors, provides warmth, and is very comfortable to wear. The workmanship is at a very high level. I can wholeheartedly recommend it.
-
Very good fleece – thin, well-fitted and comfortable, works great under a jacket or on warmer days. Size XL fits perfectly for a height of 188 cm and weight of 110 kg. This is yet another product from Helikon that I am very satisfied with.
-
This is another fleece from Helikon that I am very satisfied with. Even though the fabric in a mesh form seems thin, it warms just as effectively as a classic fleece. I also feel that thanks to this mesh structure, it wicks moisture away better without giving up its thermal insulation properties. As always, the quality is very high. It's worth noting that this model has a more fitted cut compared to other Helikon fleeces.
-
Very nice fleece. I ordered XL, but it turned out to be too tight, so I exchanged it for XXL, which fits perfectly. I am 186 cm tall and weigh 100 kg. The XL was too tight for me and my movements were restricted.
-
A comfortable, warm fleece that doesn't restrict movement, it's perfect as the next layer after first and second level thermal underwear. It's a high-quality and very good fleece with functional pockets on the sleeves and on the part that fits against the chest and abdomen.
-
The fleece is extremely warm and does not restrict movement. It has a great design, and the arrangement of the pockets and the patches panels on the sleeves are definite advantages.
-
This is another fleece from this brand that I own, this time in a different colour. Helikon products are really worth recommending – they have never disappointed me. This fleece is warm, protects well against the cold and works perfectly on cooler autumn and winter days.
-
It is relatively warm, but it's a pity that it doesn't have a hood. It works great under a down jacket. I recommend it for colder days; it will work well as an extra layer. However, in my opinion, the price is a bit too high.

Im 176 cm, 85 kg, with a 40 inch chest. Size M fits well overall, but its too tight around the neck, making it uncomfortable to wear sometimes, and i cant zip it all the way up because i have a feeling i may throw up. Size L, on the other hand is too big. Overall, its a good second layer, you can wear it under your Gunfighter jacket when the temperature is around 5°C, anything lower and you will need a thicker fleece.
-
I saw this fleece on an instructor and immediately wanted one just like it. It looks very cool, is comfortable, has many pockets and is quite warm. I especially like the texture of the fleece.
-
This is a very comfortable fleece; it's warm even at 5 degrees. I am happy to recommend it to others. It's just a pity that hooded versions are no longer available.
