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.
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.

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.
