This is a durable fleece that will last for many years of intensive use, whether in the forest, at the shooting range, or for everyday wear. In the Olive Green shade, it looks very classic and matches most trekking trousers.

Warm, soft, zippered sweatshirt fleece with a spacious hood with visor. The 380 g/m2 material provides thermal insulation for even the most severe frosts, enabling the simultaneous removal of excess heat and moisture (sweat) released during exercise. Increased breathability and thermal exchange with the environment is facilitated by underarm vents, closed by zippers. The opening and closing directions of the zippers are chosen so that the owner will have no trouble operating them independently.
Thanks to the roomy cut a thinner sweatshirt can be worn under the sweatshirt, but even a bulletproof vest will fit. The rear part is slightly elongated to protect the kidneys from being blown up, but the whole jacket is quite short - mainly to provide unobstructed access to pockets and equipment carried on the belt of the pants.
The jacket has six pockets:
- two chest ones closed with zippers,
- two on the sleeves at shoulder height,
- one on the left sleeve above the wrist,
- one so-called poaching - on the back under the cross with two independent accesses - from the right and left side.
The shoulder pockets have soft Velcro (Velcro), allowing you to attach a properly prepared patch.
The hood is voluminous so that it can be worn over a head already protected by a cap. It has a soft visor to protect the wearer from water runoff directly on the face. The hood is sewn to the collar in such a way that the lining does not expose the neck. As a result, particularly sensitive areas are protected from wind and cold.
The sleeves from wrist to elbow have been reinforced with strong material, while the elastic cuffs have been replaced with a velcro fastening patch, allowing the size to be adjusted depending on the thickness of the wrist, as well as whether the wearer is also wearing gloves or, for example, a watch.
In order to protect the body from hypothermia due to airing or getting wet, ECWCS clothing should be used.

The fleece is exceptionally warm and comfortable. The sizes are indeed larger than usual – I normally choose XL, but here L is roomy, which is a plus because I use this fleece instead of a jacket. I sincerely recommend it!

This fleece perfectly fulfils its function in terms of thermal insulation. It is made of a soft and pleasant-to-the-skin material, which effectively retains warmth, making it ideal for colder days – both as a standalone layer and as part of a layered outfit. It is equipped with several pockets of various sizes, which are great for small items, a phone or documents. The hood with a high collar provides good protection against wind, and the extended back is an additional advantage that increases comfort on colder days.

Great fleece – warm, sturdy, equipped with velcro panels. In my opinion, it's currently the best choice. The price isn't the lowest, but it's worth investing in a product that will last a long time.

I’m a woman 167 cm tall, and I chose size S. It’s very warm even in sub-zero temperatures, very comfortable, and made of pleasant, soft material. I truly recommend it.

The fleece is great, it protects excellently against the cold, personally I miss internal pockets. Very well made, materials are also of good quality, the Velcro holds well, although it doesn't hold the cover with the phone. Overall, a very good rating and worth recommending.

This is the first fleece that really fits my body perfectly – comfortable and good-looking. Maybe it's a matter of how it suits my physique and won't fit everyone the same, but you can definitely see the design was well thought out. The front of the fleece is slightly shorter than the back, so when you bend over your back is not exposed, and at the same time the material doesn’t gather around the stomach. The pockets are placed higher than standard, at diaphragm level, so items carried in them do not get in the way while walking. The back panel is cut in a V shape to emphasise the figure, if you have one, so the fleece does not resemble a sack. When unzipped, the collar spreads over the shoulders and stays in place without bothering your face. When fully zipped, the collar does not press on your neck or go over your chin, which provides comfort and freedom. The flaps also fold nicely at the hips when unzipped, without hanging chaotically. The hood, which is hidden, fits close to the neck, doesn't get in the way under a jacket, and doesn't interfere with its own hood. When put on, it fits well on the head, moves with it and does not restrict movement. The sleeve does not expose the wrists when you raise your arm, and at the same time does not cover your hands when your arms are down. In short: this fleece is truly designed with a real person in mind, not according to a simple scheme. For me, that's a huge advantage and Helikon-tex gets a big plus from me.

I believe this is a well-made fleece; the material is dense and very comfortable to wear. However, it's missing two things for perfection: firstly, traditional hand pockets (I can't understand why the designers left them out), and secondly, reinforcements on the shoulders, which would protect the material from wearing out due to backpack straps. If not for these shortcomings, I would give the highest rating. Besides that, it’s excellent clothing – I can recommend it with full confidence. One small note: the size M from the description is better treated as an L, because with a 116 cm chest, the M was definitely too small for me. Best regards!

This jacket is more of a warm fleece than a classic sweatshirt – which is exactly what I was looking for. Combined with warm underwear and a jumper, it should do well even in a light frost. I really like the cut, especially the extended back, which protects well against the cold, and the shorter front makes it easier to access trouser pockets or items attached to a belt – this can be important, for example, for shooters or people doing DIY. The only downside is a bit too many sleeve pockets and zips. I would have preferred simple side pockets at the front at waist level, as these are missing here. I am 185 cm tall and weigh 85 kg, I do a bit of training – size M fits well: perfect length, slightly tight in the shoulders, but I can easily fit a jumper or thick sweatshirt underneath. Size L would probably already be too loose.

Great choice. The fleece is very warm and windproof. It works well even at temperatures close to zero degrees. The large, adjustable hood and many pockets are big advantages. It fits well on a person who is 183 cm tall and weighs 95 kg. I highly recommend it!

Warm and comfortable, does its job well. Almost everyone has it, so I decided to get it too. At 170 cm tall, size M is quite loose and roomy. You can easily wear several extra layers underneath. Another advantage is the spacious pockets.

A warm and functional fleece, works well in various conditions, and is also comfortable. Very well made. The pocket layout could be better, but you can get used to it ;)

The Polar is fantastic. At first, I planned to use it only during my military service, but it turned out to be so versatile and comfortable that I decided to wear it daily as well. It looks like I’ll have to buy another one 😅. I hesitated for a long time before the purchase, but it was definitely the right choice – the quality is top-notch. Initially, I was bothered by the lack of lower front pockets, but over time I got used to it and now it doesn’t bother me anymore.
