This was my best purchase this year. The jacket is perfect. For now, I wear it in the city – to work, shopping, and so on. If you're between sizes, I suggest choosing the smaller one. The jacket provides plenty of warmth. When temperatures are close to zero, combined with an extra fleece, it is very comfortable.
Pentagon Artaxes Jacket - Black
Lightweight hooded jacket in Black, made from durable Softshell fabric. The integrated StormTex membrane offers water resistance of 8000 mm/m2 and breathability of 5000 g/m2. The outer layer is treated with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, protecting against moisture and dirt. The interior is finished with soft fleece using Grid-Tech technology, providing effective protection from wind and rain while maintaining good thermal insulation.
8 spacious pockets
This model includes 8 functional pockets:
- two at chest level
- two on the shoulders
- one on the left forearm
- two inner pockets, one with a headphone port
- one on the back, so-called poacher’s pocket – around the lumbar area
All pockets are secured with zippers.
Two-way zipper, ventilation openings
The main closure is a two-way zipper by YKK. The collar is finished with a soft fabric guard to protect the chin. Under the arms are ventilation openings with zippers, lined with Mesh fabric, improving airflow and allowing temperature regulation.
Adjustable hood, high collar, reflective element
A high collar combined with a three-point adjustable hood ensures comfort even during heavy rain and strong wind. Cold protection is further enhanced by hook-and-loop adjustable cuffs and drawcords at the hem and in the hood. In low visibility conditions, a detachable reflective element on the hood provides added safety.
Velcro panels
Velcro panels on the shoulders allow the attachment of patches such as flags, unit insignia, or morale patches, giving the jacket a personalized look.

The jacket is exceptionally durable, warm, and hardwearing. The fabric is waterproof. The pockets are large and practically positioned. The high collar with a stand-up hidden under the rain hood is an interesting solution.
-
The sizing is quite generous. The difference between M and L is significant, so it's worth trying on both options. The jacket or sweatshirt itself works great. I tested it both during heavy rainfall typical of the Genoese lowlands and in strong winds by the sea. At +10 degrees and a strong gale, I didn't feel any discomfort.
-
This is my first jacket from this brand. It's very pleasant to wear. It looks great, especially in the coyote colour. It has a lot of pockets, and there are large ventilation openings with double-sided zippers under the arms. It breathes well and protects effectively against rain and wind.
-
This is my best purchase this year. The jacket is great – for now I’m wearing it in the city, to work or for shopping. If you’re hesitating between two sizes, I recommend choosing the smaller one. The jacket keeps you warm. At temperatures around zero, just wear a fleece underneath and it’s very warm.
-
High-quality product, it's comfortable to wear and looks very good. I also like the olive green shade. On colder days, it's worth wearing something warm underneath. Definitely a jacket worth recommending.
-
The jacket looks very good both in terms of appearance and quality. It has many pockets and a stowable hood. Size M is perfect for a height of 174 cm.
-
I do not recommend buying this jacket if you plan to go out even in light rain. During its first use in the rain, after about an hour, the jacket became completely soaked and water penetrated through all the layers of clothing underneath. This should not happen with a membrane of these specifications. The quality of the product is completely inadequate compared to the description and the declared properties.
-
The jacket is generally fine, although it differs slightly from the one shown in the photos – instead of rubber Velcro straps on the sleeves, there are ones made of fabric. Unfortunately, a major downside is the inner pockets: the zippers are so short that you can hardly fit anything in them, maybe just a few boxes of matches. If the zippers were a few centimetres longer, you could, for example, fit a phone inside. On the other hand, as usual with Militaria, the delivery was very fast.
-
Very nice jacket, it works well both for sports activities, in the mountains, and for everyday use. If someone prefers a looser fit, it's worth choosing a larger size because the cut is fitted. The material breathes well. It performs excellently during the transitional autumn/winter period.
-
After a week of use, the jacket works excellently, everything matches the description. It is comfortable and practical, I chose the size according to the chart and it fits perfectly. I recommend this product for its good quality.
-
Very successful jacket, highly recommend. The size matches the standard. We first bought M based on experience with other brands, but had to exchange it for L. The exchange process was seamless, and the service was very professional. I enjoy shopping at militaria.pl.
-
It's really a good choice – the jacket has plenty of spacious and smaller pockets, so everything is within reach. The workmanship is very meticulous, the material is pleasant to the touch, and the jacket is light and warm. Perfect for autumn and milder winters. The Cammo camouflage looks great. In reality it looks even better. In my opinion, worth its price, I recommend it.
-
The jacket is fine, although it could be a bit warmer, and the hood hidden in the collar makes it feel like you're wearing a lifebuoy around your neck.
-
The jacket is quite good for the price – excellent waterproofing, breathability is okay, thick membrane, sometimes double layer, so it'll be strong mechanically. At the same time, that's a disadvantage – unnecessary double membrane layers inside the pockets and weak cuffs. Worth buying on special offer, but if your budget allows, it's better to save up for something in a higher class.
