Review for model:

The Polar Patriot is incredibly warm and comfortable – it performed excellently during several tougher trips. The back pocket, which closes with a zip (accessible from both sides), turned out to be very practical, even when I needed to carry a few small groceries. It's worth having something for your neck at hand in case the collar doesn't provide enough insulation. The whole product is well made and several of my friends already use it too.

Great, warm and sturdy fleece. It has very spacious pockets, which is a big advantage. Made carefully from thick, warm material. I definitely recommend buying it.

The fleece works perfectly both during trips to the countryside and for everyday use. The colour remains intense and does not fade. Numerous pockets make it very comfortable to use.

The fleece was purchased mainly with the shooting range and work in mind. It performs excellently – it is thick, retains heat well, and the zip goes right up to the neck, providing protection for that area. The pockets are very functional for carrying various things; I personally keep extra magazines in them (because four on the belt isn’t enough). The jacket also features mesh-zipped vents, which positively affect ventilation. I definitely recommend it to all fleece lovers. Helikon has once again risen to the challenge!

The fleece is comfortable and very warm. It also has plenty of pockets, so you can store a lot in them. When it comes to sizes, there is a bit of a problem, because I have another fleece in size L and it is a bit tight in the shoulders, whereas this one in size XL is a bit too big. I recommend ordering two sizes and returning the one that fits less well.

The Helikon-Tex Patriot fleece sweatshirt is a great option for those who value durability and warmth – it works perfectly on cooler days. The high-quality, thick fleece provides good protection from the cold, while also being comfortable to wear. The cut allows for complete freedom of movement, which is important for outdoor activities. Practical pockets and additional reinforcements in areas most susceptible to wear and tear increase its functionality. The whole garment looks very aesthetically pleasing and you can see the attention to detail. It’s an excellent choice if you’re looking for a durable and warm fleece both for everyday use and outdoor activities.

This sweatshirt resembles a softshell jacket, only it is made of fleece. It has the same kind of pockets, drawstrings, and similar style. I’ve heard the sizing is quite generous, so it’s worth paying attention when choosing the size. This is the first version of the Helikon fleece and the number of positive reviews speaks for itself.

The fleece was bought with the shooting range in mind, but I liked it so much that I started wearing it every day. I also ordered a second one for a friend. It is very warm, practical and has great pockets. I definitely recommend it!

Initially, it was supposed to be used only occasionally, but after trying it out, I found that it's worth wearing more often. It's comfortable, has a lot of pockets, and works great for everyday use. I definitely recommend it.

Great product, but it doesn’t fully meet my expectations. The fleece is very well made, has many pockets (including a poacher’s pocket), and the additional panels are an interesting feature. However, it is surprisingly heavy. I expected it to be warmer, considering its weight and material. It lets the wind through quite easily. In my opinion, the sleeves are a bit too wide—I would prefer them to be more fitted. Under other jackets, it may be hard to achieve a good fit due to its size and thickness, so the outer jacket needs to be loose. However, when worn on its own, or as a set with, for example, the Tramontane Wind Pack for wind protection, it’s excellent.

This is already my next fleece from Helikon, the material and practicality are at a good level, but after longer use, the velcro on the sleeves doesn't hold well. Nevertheless, I definitely recommend it.

Great, thick and warm fleece. Unfortunately, twice now while sitting the bottom slider of the main zipper has come undone. Despite this, I definitely recommend it.

The fleece is very practical and aesthetically pleasing. Unfortunately, after a few weeks of use, the seams came apart, which should not happen at this price point.

Great and durable fleece. It works perfectly in cooler seasons. The material is durable and exceptionally pleasant to the touch. The fleece fits the figure perfectly and does not restrict freedom of movement. The cuffs also do their job well. The product is really worth its price. I am very satisfied and highly recommend it!

I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT FOR SLIM PEOPLE The fleece is thick and provides a lot of warmth, but its cut is so unflattering that in my opinion it is completely unsuitable for people with a BMI below 25. You can clearly see this in the photos. Sweatshirt size: M My figure: 180 cm tall, weight between 65 and 70 kg Description of photos: 1. Too much material on the sleeves 2. What the sweatshirt looks like when fastened 3. So much excess material that you can wrap yourself up in it like a bathrobe 4. Fastened sweatshirt from the side 5. Fastened sweatshirt from the side showing the excess material The sweatshirt doesn't have hand pockets; instead, it has an ill-conceived pocket on the back. The sweatshirt is extremely "oversized" even by outdoor clothing standards. The sleeves are very wide and move with every movement, and the amount of material on the torso lets you wrap yourself up in it like a bathrobe. Size M is so loose that I could fit another sweatshirt or a thin jacket underneath, but size S would be too short and the sweatshirt would expose my stomach, yet still stick out from my body. If the sleeves were narrowed by about 1/4 and the body circumference by 1/3, the sweatshirt would be great – in its current form it is at best average. The size marked as M is more like an American L. I bought it on sale for 250 PLN, but I think the real value is at most 200 PLN. If it weren’t for a very frosty winter and the urgent need to buy something warm to go under my jacket, I definitely would not have chosen it.
