It's worth noting that the product is well made. If you intend to wear it over something else, I suggest choosing a size larger than usual. I personally went for the largest available and it fits just how I like – there's some room, it's not tight. I used it over a long-sleeve pullover – in temperatures above zero it worked great, it was fully sufficient during activity. If you stand for a long time, it might be different. The hood is concealed and adjustable – totally fine for me. The sleeve pockets are zipped and have a Velcro panel for a morale patch, which is an interesting solution. Large chest pockets fasten with a double zip and have extra compartments inside. It goes great with the trousers. I'm 185 cm tall, have a chest measurement of 136/138 cm, and weigh about 118 kg (losing weight). The Helikon Patriot fleece fits comfortably in XXL. I recommend it as a comfortable choice for layering and it protects well against the wind.
Lightweight softshell jacket made of stretchy, high-tech StormStretch material, which provides good breathability and durability. On the outside, the jacket is coated with Teflon coating to protect against dirt and light rain.
The jacket is equipped with four practical pockets:
- two zippered chest pockets with internal organizers,
- two shoulder pockets.
The extended cut, adjustable hood, cuffs and hem of the jacket will allow you to fit the Blizzard jacket to any figure, ensuring adequate protection from adverse conditions. The hood can be hidden in the collar for convenience.
Velcro panels are sewn on both shoulders of the jacket, allowing you to attach any patches or emblems, such as the national flag, unit emblem or so-called Morale Patches, so you can give your jacket an individual touch.
The sleeves from wrist to elbow have been reinforced with durable material, while the elastic cuffs have been replaced with a patch fastened with velcro, which allows you to adjust the size depending on the thickness of your wrist, as well as whether you also wear gloves or, for example, a watch.
The zippers are made by a well-known Japanese company YKK.

A very nice jacket with an almost elegant cut and a well-fitting hood with a visor. Good for cooler, but not very cold days or for cycling at around 10-15 degrees (depending on preferences and what you wear underneath). It's great that the chest pockets can act as additional ventilation (with separate vents under the arms). The only downside is it feels tight at the neck when the hood is folded into the collar.
-
Amazing jacket, exactly what I was looking for: light, comfortable, well-fitted, with many practical pockets. The material is light yet durable, and offers great protection against wind. Highly recommended.

A warm and sturdy jacket. It is very comfortable, fits well to the figure and looks elegant. Very functional, especially for people working in various services who value thermal comfort and discretion.
-
Warm, solidly made jacket. Very comfortable, fits the figure well and looks elegant at the same time. It performs excellently for everyday use, especially for people working in services who appreciate comfort, warmth, and discretion.

Great as an outer layer over the Helikon Liberty fleece. The jacket is thin but offers excellent protection against wind and light rain. Lots of pockets. The only downside is the lack of possibility to detach the hood — it’s always in the collar, which causes a slight bulge.

A warm and durable jacket, very comfortable, fits the body perfectly and has an elegant appearance. Very functional, especially for service workers who will appreciate its thermal comfort, practicality and anonymity.
-
A lightweight, breathable, and high-quality softshell protects excellently against the wind. Very comfortable both for everyday wear and cycling. I think it's definitely worth it for the price.

The material and workmanship of the jacket give the impression of really high quality, the whole thing looks solid. The sizes are a bit larger, so you can choose a size smaller than usual (e.g., if you wear M, choose S). The Adaptive Green colour is between Coyote and Olive Green; it doesn't stand out in the city, and during tactical operations it provides excellent camouflage.

Jacket made of StormStretch material, which protects against wind and light rain, now in a new version. The pockets are practical, the jacket is light and easy to pack, and the cut stands out from classic, military models. Together with Blizzard trousers, it makes an interesting softshell set. The only thing that bothers me now are the two-way zippers in the pockets, but that's probably a matter of getting used to.
-
Very nice jacket. The size matches the description. The jacket is very thin, so it’s perfect as a windbreaker for summer, but if you’re looking for something for autumn, it’s better to choose another model. This one is thin and light — good for cooler summer evenings with a chance of rain.
-
The jacket is comfortable, very practical, carefully made, light and as expected. The order was processed efficiently and delivery was very fast. I often shop at militaria.pl and so far have had no problems with either the products or the fulfilment of orders.

It's an excellent jacket, and it can also be used as a sweatshirt. Sturdy material and cleverly placed pockets. When the hood is hidden and you want to put on a scarf, it gets a bit tight at the neck, but it's not a big problem. The jacket compresses easily and doesn't take up much space in a backpack. Additionally, I bought it in a sale, which makes me even happier.

Well-made jacket with a well-thought-out number of pockets. Light and compresses easily in a backpack. The sizing is fine, although with the hood folded into the collar, it feels tight at the neck, especially if you want to wear something over it. I bought it in a promotion, which makes me even happier.
