My height is 182 cm, weight – 75 kg, and I ordered size S Regular. Overall, the quality is just brilliant! The fleece and other materials are very pleasant to the touch. However, regarding the size, I can say that size M would probably suit me better. In this size (S), the garment fits perfectly, centimetre for centimetre, but since I planned to wear another jumper under this fleece, there's a bit of a lack of free space (for layering). I recommend taking this nuance into account when choosing your size if you plan to wear the fleece over other warm clothing.

Helikon Patriot Fleece - Olive Green
The Olive Green fleece jacket with a zip closure offers effective thermal insulation in cool conditions while supporting the release of excess heat and moisture generated during intense physical activity. The Helikon Patriot model is made from high-density fleece with a weight of 380 g/m2. Its spacious cut allows for wearing additional layers underneath, such as thinner sweatshirts or thermal garments. The slightly extended back effectively shields the kidney area from wind gusts, while the overall length of the jacket has been optimized to ensure unobstructed access to pockets and gear carried on the trouser belt.
Breathable fleece
The fleece is made of 100% quick-drying polyester with a weight of 380 g/m2, which provides effective thermal insulation and good air circulation. Thanks to these properties, the material efficiently wicks moisture away, protecting the body from getting cold. The fabric stands out for its durability and resistance to mechanical damage, making the jacket suitable for demanding environments—whether during hiking or tactical operations. Reinforcements on the elbows increase resistance to abrasion and heavy use.
Adjustable hood
Protection against cold and wind is effectively provided by a spacious, enclosed hood, which allows for comfortable wearing of a winter hat without restricting freedom of movement. The integrated soft brim shields the face from dripping water, improving comfort in unfavorable weather conditions. The hood is permanently attached to the collar, ensuring full neck coverage when worn. Adjustment is done via elastic drawcords, allowing precise fit to the shape of the head and the user’s current needs.
Roomy pockets
The jacket is equipped with six spacious and thoughtfully designed pockets:
- two chest pockets
- two sleeve pockets at shoulder height
- one pocket on the left forearm
- one pass-through pocket at the back above the hips
All pockets are secured with durable and reliable YKK zippers. The zippers are finished with fabric pull tabs for easier handling, even while wearing thick gloves. Inside the chest pockets, there is a compartment for a phone and cable openings, e.g. for headphones.
Velcro panels, adjustable cuffs and elastic waistband
Both shoulders feature Velcro panels that allow for attaching patches, unit insignia, or Morale Patches. The sleeves are equipped with hook-and-loop adjustable cuffs, enabling precise adjustment to fit the wrists. The lower part of the jacket includes an elastic drawcord that effectively protects against cold air entering from below and helps retain warmth.

I bought the Polar mainly because of the positive reviews! I usually agree with previous opinions, but I’m a bit annoyed by the placement of the hand pockets – in my opinion, they’re too high! I would prefer if they were located lower, not on the chest. It’s not very practical and you always have to remember to have gloves, because it’s not comfortable to walk with your hands in such high pockets. That’s why, on colder days, it’s worth having gloves with you. I’m almost 190 cm tall and my chest circumference is 118 cm – size XXL fits me very well. The shop and order process – as always, excellent!
-
It's a bit heavy, but it keeps you very warm. The hood provides excellent coverage for both the head and neck. The jacket will be great for cold days. It has many functional and spacious pockets. I definitely recommend it!
-
I am a woman, I am 157 cm tall and weigh 59 kg, I decided on size XS. I work in a vineyard and the jacket material does not snag at all. The jacket is warm and I really like the number of pockets. I am delighted with it!

I am a woman, 1.57m tall and weigh 59kg, and I took XS. I work in the vineyards and despite everything, nothing gets stuck in the fabric. It is warm and the numerous pockets are really great. I love it!!
-
I waited over a year for the "shadow grey" colour and finally I was able to replace my five-year-old black "Patriot" with this version :). My previous fleece still serves me well. Excellent product at a reasonable price. I'm very happy that the older Patriot model is still available, because it's really excellent.

Saw it, ordered it... Top value for money. I am 181cm, sporty and fit, sturdy and 100kg. Size XL fits perfectly at the shoulders, arms, and overall length. Colour olive looks great. Jacket has thick, soft fleece, zips are sturdy, and the jacket is top fashionable in style. I searched for a long time and found the best jacket for this price. Also perfect for frosty winter days. Friends have bought it too. The store is great anyway... fast shipping and secure. Payment also.

This fleece is an absolutely brilliant choice! It's warm, comfortable, and has plenty of pockets – simply superb! If you're hesitating to buy, don't wait – go for it, you won't regret it!

I am 185 cm tall and weigh 95 kg. I spent a long time considering which size would be best and finally chose M, which fits perfectly. The fleece is fantastic, I really like it. I sincerely recommend it.
-
The fleece is very well made and looks durable. It has practical pockets and ventilation openings, which are useful when it gets hot. The only thing missing is hip pockets for a perfect rating.
-
The fleece is very warm and fits great. The zips are solid and of good quality. It's worth noting that it does not have front side pockets, which many people are used to. Overall, I rate it 5/5.
-
Very good and warm fleece, it works well during cold days. The pockets could be arranged slightly differently, but that's probably just a matter of getting used to it. I definitely recommend it.
-
Excellent product. It has many spacious pockets, is warm, and has a large hood... After two years of use, it still works perfectly. It's easy to remove mud and sand from it. The zippers in the pockets work smoothly and never get stuck.
-
The fleece from Helikon is widely recognised. The company stands out for its great professionalism. I regularly order various cargo pockets and equipment from them and I am always impressed by the high quality of workmanship. It does not surprise me that Helikon products are appreciated in the United States and enjoy recognition around the world. It is one of the best brands. I also really like the fleece itself. The Militaria shop also performs excellently, and deliveries are carried out very efficiently.
-
The fleece is very warm and quite heavy (380g/m2). It has a wide collar and a loose fit, which I consider a big plus. I’m 183 cm and 75 kg, bought a size L and it’s perfect.
