    I believe the sweatshirt is excellent – very comfortable and breathable, which makes it perfect as a mid-layer. This is thanks to the structure of the material, which in my opinion is its main advantage. There are plenty of pockets, which is no surprise as it's a Helikon product. I usually wear size M and this size fits me perfectly. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

    Very nice product with the typical high quality from Helikon. It's a matter of personal taste, but the workmanship is flawless. I own it in size L, with a height of 1.90 m and a weight of 85 kilos.

    Great sweatshirt! In reality, it's thin, but despite that, it provides plenty of warmth. For such a thin material, it really protects well against the cold. I am 182 cm tall and weigh 86 kg, size M fits perfectly! The sweatshirt fits well – not too loose and not too tight, just perfect. I feel that if there is a promotion, I will be tempted to get another colour :-)!

    Size M in the black version fits very well on a person who is 172 cm tall and weighs 82 kg; in fact, it is a bit too snug. The sweatshirt is quite tight, especially under the arms and on the shoulders. Apart from these minor inconveniences, it looks great. However, I am wondering why the identical hoodie is cut more loosely. Despite this, I am very satisfied and recommend the purchase. For the slight discomfort, I give it 4/5.

    The Helikon-Tex Alpha Tactical Fleece in Olive Green feels pleasantly warm, is well made, and, with its pockets and reinforcements, offers a practical and everyday-suitable design. The material seems robust, the cut is comfortable, and overall the jacket gives a reliable impression for cooler days.

    My opinion concerns the Helikon-Tex Alpha Tactical fleece in Navy Blue. I have an issue with the sizing – at 190 cm tall and weighing 86 kg, I usually wear size L (especially for sweatshirts, jackets, T-shirts). However, this fleece is oddly tailored – very tight in the shoulders, snug under the arms, and the sleeves are not only tight-fitting but also about 5 cm too short. On the other hand, there’s so much room at the waist that I could easily fit a basketball there. Changing to XL is not an option, as there would be even more looseness at the waist. I don’t know if I simply got a faulty piece or if this model is just made this way. I have another sweatshirt from this brand and size L fits perfectly, with a little extra length. So it seems that sizing at Helikon depends on the model. I think that if someone manages to get the right size, they’ll be satisfied, because the build quality is, as always, very good. Unfortunately, this model is not for me – I have to return it.

    Very functional fleece, relatively thin, but keeps you warm perfectly and is well made, although for me personally it sits a bit too close under the armpits. Other than that, everything is fine. The sizing is more consistent with most of my clothes. I also have a Helikon Patriot fleece and the sizes there are bigger – I usually wear L, but had to buy M. With Alfa Taktical, size L fits perfectly (M was too tight).

    I haven't worn this fleece by itself yet because its just cold all of the time at the moment but I have worn it as a second layer and for this so far it has functioned really well. I think in the warmer months it will be very comfortable because its extremely comfortable. Quality is great and I think it looks really good also so a big thumbs up from me.

    The fleece looks great and its workmanship makes a very good impression. The product is well sewn and aesthetically pleasing. However, I am only giving it 4 stars because I miss classic fabric pockets – the mesh ones don't inspire my confidence and I am concerned that I won't use them comfortably.

    I chose size M in coyote colour at a height of 176 cm and weight of 78 kg. It fits perfectly. The fleece was purchased as an additional layer under a hardshell jacket and fulfils its role excellently. It has a more tailored cut than standard military fleeces. The velcro on the shoulders is soft and doesn’t make any noise. The collar does not press on the neck. The sleeves have elastics, which means they don’t snag under the jacket. It looks great, is comfortable, and does not restrict movement. I am very satisfied and can recommend it with confidence.

    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.
