Great jacket, very well made. The material also seems durable. I chose the black one in size S, I'm 176 cm tall and weigh 76 kg – it fits perfectly. I think XS would fit me too, but it's better to have a bit of room for warmer clothes underneath. I definitely recommend both the product and the seller. Delivery, as always, was very fast.

Helikon Winter Yukon Duracanvas Jacket - Black
Hooded jacket in Black color designed for low temperatures. Provides solid protection against cold, strong wind, and rain. The outer layer is made of Duracanvas material, and the interior is filled with synthetic insulation Climashield Apex, providing good thermal protection and breathability. It features a high collar with a chin guard, mounting loops, and functional pockets for better organisation. Perfect for long trips and daily use.
Insulation Climashield Apex, material Duracanvas
The outer shell is made of Duracanvas fabric with a weight of 230 g/m2, which can be wax-impregnated to improve protection against rain and moisture as well as abrasion resistance. The insulation consists of high-quality synthetic Climashield Apex insulation with a grammage of 67g/m2, providing effective protection against cold, even when wet. It is also characterised by its lightness and good compression properties.
8 spacious pockets
The jacket has 8 practical pockets:
- two chest pockets with organisers
- two padded hip pockets
- one pocket on the left arm
- two open inner pockets
- one zippered inner chest pocket
All external pockets are closed with YKK zippers. Below the chest pockets are paracord handles that allow for attaching small equipment, preventing them from being lost.
Two-way YKK zipper, ventilation openings
The main closure is a two-way zipper from YKK. The stand-up collar has a fabric guard to protect the chin from being pinched by the zipper. Under the arms, there are ventilation openings with mesh-finished zippers, which increase breathability and thermal comfort.
adjustable hood, high collar, adjustable cuffs
High collar increases comfort during rain and wind. The hood is equipped with a 3-point adjustment system that allows precise fitting to the shape of the head and current weather conditions. Two drawstrings at the waist and bottom of the jacket allow for adjusting the circumference, preventing draughts. The cuffs are adjustable with Velcro, and drawstrings in the hood and at the bottom of the jacket provide additional protection against cold.
Velcro panel on the sleeve, Molle loops
On the left sleeve, there is a velcro panel measuring 11 x 8.5 cm, allowing the attachment of various emblems – such as a national flag, unit insignia, or so-called Morale Patches – giving the jacket a personalized appearance. At the bottom, there are MOLLE/PALS loops used for attaching carabiners or mounting additional equipment.

The jacket is excellent, as is usually the case with Helikon – everything is well-thought-out, everything is in its place, and the quality of workmanship is outstanding. As always, I buy size M in Helikon at a height of 182 cm – the jacket fits great, even when I'm wearing a thicker jumper underneath, there's still some room. The jacket isn't the cheapest, but I think with proper care, it will last for many years.

I bought the jacket in size XL, I weigh 103 kg and I am 180 cm tall. I have a slight overweight, but despite this the jacket fits perfectly. The workmanship and comfort are of a high standard. It is very warm – at 0 degrees, you only need to wear a T-shirt underneath. I definitely recommend it.

I've been using Helikon gear for quite some time – trousers, fleeces, and thermal clothing... The jacket looks like a really solid protection against the cold and fits the body well. I usually go for size XL, but this time I chose XXL so I could comfortably wear a fleece or sweatshirt underneath, so it’s a bit loose… I’m not sure if I may have gone overboard ;) In my opinion, it’s money well spent and definitely premium quality!

The jacket is made of very high-quality materials. Admittedly, I haven't had the chance to test its thermal properties in low temperatures yet, but I believe it will provide adequate comfort. I had some doubts regarding the size. I decided on XL, although I wear size L in other Helikon jackets (Pilgrim anorak and M65 covert). Size L would probably fit me too, but there would be a lack of space, which is important in a winter jacket. To sum up, I highly recommend this product!
-
The jacket is designed for everyday wear, especially for use during bushcraft, which is exactly why I bought it. The construction is very well thought out, with many practical and unusual solutions. It is very solidly made from high-quality materials. I definitely recommend this product and the Militaria.pl store.
