Helikon Mistral Anorak Softshell Jacket - Adaptive Green

Very nice jacket. It provides moderate warmth and gives good protection against wind. As for breathability, don’t expect miracles – after all, it’s Helikon. For trips to the forest and camping, it works great. I’m 178 cm tall and weigh 83 kg – size M fits perfectly over a t-shirt.

This is quite a good unlined softshell jacket, so it’s suitable for various conditions. You can wear it over a t-shirt in summer or over a sweatshirt on cooler days, or as a windproof layer in winter, worn over a down jacket; it also protects against damage, for example in dense forest. The Wildwood version is less green and has more beige tones, making it more versatile – it looks similar in the photo.

Great softshell in anorak version. It has lots of pockets, ventilation panels and is solidly made, while the materials used are of the highest quality. I definitely recommend it!

Thanks to its flexible construction, it’s perfect for hiking with a backpack, but for working by a campfire, the Woodsman or Pilgrim models are a better choice due to the type of materials. It dries quickly, is very comfortable and provides good protection against light rain and wind – I recommend it, great product.

The jacket effectively protects against light and moderate wind. The green version is good as a layer with a thermal underneath – you don’t feel the cold, and when it gets too warm, the zips under the arms provide proper ventilation.

Anorak made of softshell material, suitable for all conditions, has a large pocket, which thanks to its dimensions can serve as a chest pack, and when carried in a transport backpack works similarly to the Windrunner. The material protects effectively against strong wind, I personally used it with OTP trousers, which together form a set providing protection from bad weather, while also offering good breathability on longer hikes.

I rate the product very highly. It's a pity that I didn’t get the size right, but the shop offers a convenient exchange. At first glance, an anorak may seem less practical than a jacket with a single zip, but only after using it can you appreciate the advantages of this solution.

The Helikon Mistral Anorak Softshell jacket in black is exceptionally solid! Top-class materials and very meticulous workmanship. It works perfectly as protection against wind and rain!

In my opinion, this is a very good jacket. The hood serves its function well. During light rain and at temperatures from 0 to 10 degrees, I wasn’t cold or wet – in lower temperatures I wore a thin sweatshirt underneath, and on warmer, rainy days a heatgear type t-shirt.

This is a really comfortable jacket. It is lightweight and does not take up much space when folded. The pockets with additional compartments are practical. It provides great protection against gusts of wind and light rain, and an added bonus are the zips under the arms. My only complaint is the hood, which doesn't have the best shape and doesn't look very good.

Great material and workmanship. I have been using it daily for several days. The shoulder pockets are perfect for a phone or small items like keys. The front pocket is spacious and equipped with practical compartments. After impregnation, the jacket works well even in light rain. I recommend it, very practical jacket.

A perfectly made, solid and comfortable jacket. I definitely recommend it!

Brilliant windbreaker jacket, very light. I’ve only worn it once, but I already know it meets my expectations. I had doubts about the size but XL turned out to be a perfect choice. Highly recommended.

Although I relied on the size chart and chose a slightly larger one, the anorak still turned out to be too tight, especially when I tried to wear flannel or a fleece underneath. For a man who is 179 cm tall and weighs 90 kg, with a slightly rounded belly and a broad chest, the ideal size in my opinion is XXL – then putting it on and taking it off is problem-free and it doesn’t restrict movement. Additionally, the kangaroo pocket is great. I recommend it.

Very good product, it does its job. I definitely recommend it!
