Very good jacket that keeps you warm without feeling heavy. Helikon-Tex did a good job. The stitching is unusual, but you get used to the style easily. The drawcords at the bottom let you adjust it properly. I recommend it. I’m 1.70 m tall and weigh 73 kg, and I chose size M. It isn’t too tight, which makes it possible to wear clothes underneath without discomfort.

This is a very comfortable and carefully made fleece. It provides good warmth while not being too thick, so it is also great for wearing under a jacket. Another plus is the large number of functional pockets and the durable zippers.

Size: M
Quality materials, and like all from Helikon full of useful pockets, stoppers, ,, It's fits me ok on T shirt , material looks like knights armour which is plus,...
-
The sweatshirt is fine, it stands out with its interesting texture and stitching. Would I recommend it to others? If you can afford the expense and you care about the military style, it's definitely worth considering purchasing.
-
I have been using this product for a few months and I am very satisfied. I am 170 cm tall, weigh about 83 kg, and chose size M, which in my opinion fits best, especially since I often wear an extra layer over the fleece. At this height, size L would probably have sleeves that are too long.
-
Very high quality, although size XS turned out to be a bit large for me. I didn't return it. It's an item that I will definitely need. The color, texture, everything is wonderful.
-
Great fleece, looks good and fits well on the body. This particular model from Helikon suits me the most; it is not very thick and does not restrict movement under outerwear, while still retaining warmth and wicking away some excess moisture during activities.
-
Great fleece, one of my favorites – it’s lightweight, well-made, durable, and breathable. It works perfectly under a jacket or for spring and autumn.
-
I always wanted a “grid fleece” and finally went with this one (78kg 184cm). Size L fit me great. I would’ve liked it to be more of an athletic fit, but it suits my needs. I’ve used it both as a warming layer and as a stand-alone jacket. It pairs well with a wind-resistant jacket since the fleece is breathable and the wind blow straight through. It doesn’t take up too much space in a backpack. Zipper and fabric is of good quality and it’s well worth it’s price!

The Helikon-Tex Alpha Tactical fleece in Olive Green is an excellent choice. It is very light, comfortable, and provides good protection against the cold. The material is high quality, breathes well, and dries quickly, which makes the fleece suitable both for everyday use and for outdoor activities. The design does not restrict freedom of movement, and the workmanship is truly top-notch. The product is exactly as described. I highly recommend it!
-
The second jacket I've ordered in this style. It is well made and has plenty of pockets to store valuables like your smartphone and wallet.
-
The jacket is great for layering underneath but also works well as a jacket for outdoor activities on cooler summer days, for example when camping. I will order another one.
-
The best jacket I have ever bought. Since I buy almost everything from Helikon Tex, I knew the jacket would be good, but when I had it in my hands, I was so impressed. The material is very thin but still extremely warm. At 1.75 cm and 84 kg, size M fits perfectly. Definite purchase recommendation from me. Military EU is the best shop.

The sweatshirt is excellently designed, and the material is of high quality. The fleece has a cube-like structure with grooves that help maintain the right body temperature and provide good ventilation, preventing overheating and sweating during activity. The material is breathable, yet warm. The fleece works well both as an outer layer and as a layer under a softshell or jacket on colder days. The sleeves are looser under the armpits, ensuring comfort under a jacket and when wearing a backpack. The sweatshirt is lightweight, functional, and looks good both outdoors and in the city. The collar protects the neck well from the wind. This is already another piece of this model from the Helikon brand that I have bought at Militaria.pl.

A very convenient and pleasant item that combines almost incompatible qualities: ventilation and warmth. Great set of pockets, handy zippers. Successful model. I wish there was one made of thicker material like this.
