It provides very good protection against the cold, especially on windy days. It worked great as a jacket at around minus 5 degrees, with only a t-shirt and shirt underneath. The pockets are spacious and sufficient to pack everything you need for a short trip, e.g. 15-20 kilometres. The material is pleasant to the touch.

I have been using this fleece for quite some time during daily activities, walks and various outdoor pursuits. Already after the first wear, you can see that the material is of high quality – soft, pleasant to the touch and providing good comfort in terms of temperature. The fleece retains heat well, but at the same time prevents overheating even during more intense effort. I really appreciate that the material is breathable and dries quickly. The cut is comfortable and does not restrict freedom of movement, which is important for longer wear. The seams are carefully made, and the zip works smoothly and without problems. The fleece works great as an outer layer on warmer days, or as an extra layer under a jacket in winter. It's a functional and versatile wardrobe item that can easily be used every day. I can recommend it with full confidence.

I wear the fleece almost every day and it works brilliantly. It is cosy, comfortable, and extremely practical. The large number of pockets makes everyday use very easy, everything is within easy reach. The product is well made and there are no negative surprises.

Great fleece, incredibly warm, and the hood really makes a difference! The only thing it's missing is side pockets, but despite that, it deserves a solid five! I especially recommend it for trips to the forest!

A product worth its price – the fleece is solid, provides warmth and practicality during colder days, and insulates well against the wind. The comfortable and numerous pockets are a big advantage, while the hood, high collar, adjustable cuffs, and reinforced elbows increase its functionality. It works great both for everyday use and for trips in more challenging conditions. The cut and workmanship are aimed more at utility than appearance. If you care about warmth, comfort, and functionality, this fleece will be a hit. However, for those looking for something lighter and more elegant, it may be too bulky and 'workwear-like'.

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.

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.
