Helikon Patriot MK2 Hybrid Fleece - wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland
Hooded sweatshirt sewn from high-quality fleece, which provides thermal insulation even at very low temperatures, while effectively wicking away excess heat and moisture. The use of two-layer Hybrid Fleece material with different properties allows you to achieve great thermal protection while remaining lightweight.
340 g/m2 grammage, reinforced sleeves
The outer layer is made of thick fleece with a grammage of 340 g/m2, while the inner layer is made of Grid Fleece with a mesh structure, which increases comfort and improves breathability. For optimal temperature regulation, zipped ventilation openings have been added under the arms. The cuffs are equipped with elastic drawstrings that adjust to the wrists.
Zip, extended cut
The sweatshirt is equipped with a two-way zip. The back is slightly extended, which effectively protects the lower back from the cool wind. The design allows easy access to pockets and equipment worn on the waistband. The hood is spacious enough to fit over a hat, and the soft visor prevents water from running down your face. The hood is sewn to the collar in a way that protects the neck from the wind, even when not worn. The shoulder pockets feature soft Velcro panels for attaching patches or emblems. Laser-cut panels with grommets allow you to wear additional accessories such as tactical pens or small torches.
7 pockets
- two chest pockets closed with zips
- two hip pockets closed with zips
- two shoulder pockets
- one inner open pocket
wz.93 Pantera camouflage pattern
The wz.93 Pantera camouflage pattern is currently used by the Polish Armed Forces. It was the first camouflage pattern designed and introduced for widespread use in the Third Republic of Poland. The 1993 pattern combines mimetic and deforming properties through the use of irregular spots of various sizes. The combination of green, brown, and black colours makes the Pantera the right answer to the question: what camouflage is the right choice for Polish forests? Uniforms in this camouflage are also required for students of Military Uniform Classes.

- 340 g/m2 grammage
- 7 capacious pockets

I think this is probably the nicest Helikon fleece – it fits great, the pockets are functionally placed, and it really keeps you warm. You can often get it on sale, so the price is attractive.

Good outdoor jacket for walks in cold weather. The multiple pockets are very useful and well placed. Comfortable to wear and warm, it effectively keeps out the cold. The zipped openings under the arms are a bonus for wicking away sweat.

It works perfectly on colder days. It is very warm, practical, and made of nice material. The hood is a great addition and, in my opinion, is better than the version without a hood. I wholeheartedly recommend the purchase.

The fleece has an excellent thickness – it doesn’t restrict freedom of movement and works great as a second layer under a jacket. It is very breathable, which is great for moisture wicking during activity, although for some people this can be both an advantage and a drawback. No Velcro at the cuffs is a plus, and the smaller hood works well with a climbing helmet. The large number of pockets increases practicality, and the additional ventilation on the sleeves is a big advantage. The careful interior finish shows attention to detail and gives the product a high quality that matches the price. Fast shipping and efficient returns allowed me to try out different sizes and colours, which made me fully satisfied with the purchase.

The fleece is comfortable and has practically arranged pockets. The downside is the zip, which can be difficult to fasten – this issue also happens to a friend who wears a smaller size. I have another fleece from the same brand with a zip fastening from the bottom, and that model does not have this problem.

This is a fleece sweatshirt, and for me, it's superb. The cut fits well, it has an extended back, long sleeves, a high collar, and very pleasant material. With my 174 cm and 83 kg, size M is great – it fits well and isn’t too tight. I also have the Patriot in the classic version – it’s more of a fleece jacket than just a sweatshirt. It’s almost indestructible, apart from the Velcro, but has short sleeves and a very wide cut, which doesn’t suit me entirely. It’s more suitable as an outer layer for intensive use. The MK2, on the other hand, is a light, typical fleece sweatshirt. These are two completely different products, not just new versions of the same thing.

Polar works great both during various outdoor activities such as hiking, camping or working outside, as well as for everyday use. It is worth waiting for a promotion because you can get a good deal. I have no complaints.
-
I used the MK1 for three years, then bought the MK2 and unfortunately after two months of use the drawstring from the hood broke. Additionally, the main zip is difficult to use. The pockets are made from mesh, not solid material like in the MK1, and the price is higher despite the poorer quality.

Mega service Mega jacket Mega satisfied Great jacket, many thanks Recommendation to buy I am a big fan of Helikon Tex. I already own several items from this brand and I am always satisfied. Please keep it up...

The fleece is made of high-quality material. The material is more flexible than in the Patriot model, which means it fits the body better. It is quite long, but although the Patriot in size XS was appropriate, the MK2 model in size M turned out to be the best, providing a bit of freedom. A very comfortable and warm fleece. I hope the zippers will be durable.
-
Polar is characterised by very good quality. The second version of the Patriot model fits better and the material is no longer as stiff. The jacket is quite long. I usually wear size XS in the standard version, but with this model, size M suited me. The colour is nice, the zip does seem weaker, but I hope it will be durable.
-
I'll put it this way: I tend to feel the cold, so in frosty weather I would look for something warmer or wear more layers, but at about 5°C in the forest with moderate activity, this fleece together with a thermal shirt and possibly a jacket (without insulation) worked great. I highly recommend it for such conditions.
-
The fleece provides pleasant warmth during autumn temperatures. It has many pockets. Unfortunately, in my piece, the main zip tends to get stuck and you need to hold the material inside more firmly to open it.
-
The fleece is indeed thinner and lighter than the previous model. I haven’t had a chance to test if there’s really any difference in warmth. The inside of the sleeves is finished with a grid pattern – similar to the Alpha model. The previous version had a looser fit, whereas Mk2 is more fitted – in my opinion that's an advantage. The Tiger Stripe camouflage looks fantastic in reality.
