First of all, the parcel arrived extremely quickly, the sizing matches the description – I chose size L for a height of 180 cm and weight of 95 kg, the jacket fits perfectly. The quality of workmanship is excellent, the price was a real bargain. I am completely satisfied with the purchase, I rate it 10/10 and recommend both the product and the seller.

Great jacket, I’ve had it for quite a while now so I can give it a proper review. After many washes, the colour remains unchanged, and the material still looks like new – no pilling at all. The pockets are fantastic both in number and placement.

I was looking for a reliable M65 to wear in place of my thicker winter version. Took notice of measurements from previous reviews and was very, very pleased with the result. A fantastic fitting M65 in a material that is incredibly durable, almost identical to other Tex products. It is exactly what I wanted. Delivery was 6 days to the door and excellent tracking updates across Europe from Poland. It’s perfect for what I am looking for. Will be ordering again. Thank you.

Overall, everything is fine, but I didn't manage to get the right size. The smaller jacket is too tight, while the larger one has sleeves that are much too long and completely cover the hands, which makes it impractical to wear. Apart from that—which depends on individual preferences—the jacket looks interesting and is well made.

Great jacket both for outdoor trips and city walks. It has many functional and large pockets. I appreciate that when walking in the forest, it doesn't rustle, and its colours are subdued. The disadvantage is the weight of the jacket, but that's the trade-off. The fabric seems solid, but time will tell after longer use. The hood is not insulated. This jacket is not suitable for extreme cold, but it's excellent when being active.

The jacket is excellently made, and the pockets are practically arranged. The quick-release zip mechanism works perfectly. The size corresponds to the chart provided on the website. Every military enthusiast should consider adding it to their collection. In my opinion, this modern version of the Helikon jacket is better in terms of practicality than the classic M65, and its appearance makes it suitable for everyday wear. The covert version, unlike the M65, doesn’t have insulation—some see this as an advantage, others as a drawback; so at around +5°C, it’s worth wearing a warm fleece (e.g., Patriot or Alpha Tactical by Helikon) and thermal underwear.

The jacket may not be suitable for extreme conditions, but for everyday use in the city or at work, it works brilliantly. The pockets have been excellently designed, they're very spacious, and the material is pleasant to the touch. This product fits perfectly into the 'covert' category, because when you wear it with smart clothes, it doesn't stand out from the crowd – it looks like an ordinary, stylish military-type jacket, and it offers much greater comfort and convenience for carrying various items. The large pocket capacity is one thing, but the comfort of movement even when they're fully loaded is remarkable. It also doesn't draw attention when you're carrying extra things. As I mentioned, this is not a jacket for mountain expeditions, but it wasn't designed for that. For everyday wear, it protects against the wind very well – especially the collar, which is very useful – and it doesn't restrict movement, which is extremely important for me. Many other jackets, even branded ones, unfortunately don't meet this requirement. Another advantage is the double fastening – with a zip and buttons, which allows better adjustment for warmth and provides a sense of security, because even if the zip gets stuck or breaks (which is unlikely at this quality), there's another option. The price also seems appropriate for the quality – fully justified. I definitely recommend it!

The jacket is solidly made and looks durable, well designed in terms of practicality. Unfortunately, as is often the case nowadays, the sizing doesn't make much sense. Every size is too short and too wide (especially in the waist). The proportions of this and many other jackets on the website are made for short and stout people. I’m 190 cm tall and weigh 78 kg and none of the jackets fit in terms of length, and size L is almost double my width. Unfortunately I had to return it.

Amazing jacket. Size M was perfect for 181 cm and 83 kg. Dispatch as always was fast from this shop, and returns are handled with no problems. Pity there’s not just one black version instead of two shades. The cut is timeless, I’ve also got the M-65 from 'Brandit' in dark camo. There's something here for everyone. Recommended for autumn, spring and mild winter.

The jacket is very well made. The material seems solid. I think it will last a long time. The large number of pockets makes it easy to keep everything organised, for example during travel.

Great jacket, more suitable for city use due to its cut, but it is also suitable for a trip to the forest. It has many well-designed pockets and is made of outstanding material.

An exceptional jacket for daily use. The pockets are very well designed. The cut fits superbly. The materials are very durable and the colour does not fade. I highly recommend it.

As always, the service and shipping from militaria.pl are of the highest standard – I ordered the jacket yesterday, and it was already with me today. I am 180 cm tall and weigh 75 kg, size M fits perfectly. In case of frost, even a down jacket can fit underneath as additional insulation. The workmanship is flawless. After using it for a while, I will share my opinion on its durability, but I expect that, as with all Helikon products, everything will be fine.

Great jacket, a very practical version of the classic M65. Helikon knows how to refresh a classic. The cut and number of pockets are spot on. Extra point for the foldable hood. I recommend!
