Helikon-Tex Infantry fleece - Black

A soft and warm zip-up fleece jacket in black color designed as an insulating layer for cold days. It effectively retains heat while allowing moisture and excess warmth generated during physical activity to escape. The Helikon-Tex Infantry model is made from durable fleece with a weight of 380 g/m². Its looser cut allows for comfortable wearing of additional layers, such as a lightweight sweatshirt or thermal clothing. A slightly extended back provides better protection for the kidneys against the cold, while the overall design does not restrict access to pockets or gear worn on the belt.

Breathable fleece

Crafted from 100% quick-drying polyester with a density of 380 g/m², the fleece offers excellent insulation and breathability. It effectively lets excess moisture escape, stopping the body from cooling. The fabric is sturdy and damage-resistant, making the jacket ideal for outdoor adventures in challenging terrains, whether for hiking or tactical operations.

Roomy pockets

The fleece features four zippered pockets:

  • a pair of traditional hip pockets,
  • a single chest pocket,
  • and one pocket on the left shoulder.

The hip pocket zippers are sewn at an angle to facilitate storing and retrieving items. Moreover, every zipper is equipped with a fabric pull tab to ensure a secure grip, even when wearing bulky gloves.

Material reinforcements and high collar

The fleece features abrasion-resistant material reinforcement on the elbows, shoulders, hip pocket zipper flaps, and the lower inner section. Elastic cuffs have been swapped out for Velcro-adjustable tabs, allowing customization of sleeve circumference. A high collar safeguards the neck against cold and wind, aiding in better regulation of body temperature. The back of the collar is fortified with fabric to minimize wear from contact with a weapon sling.

Velcro Panels

Velcro strips are sewn onto both sides of the chest and on both sleeves, enabling the attachment of various emblems such as a national flag, unit insignia, or Morale Patches, to give the fleece a personalized touch.

    Size: M

    I wear a size L jacket, so I deliberately chose this fleece in size M. It turned out to be the perfect choice for an extra insulating layer under the jacket in cold weather—it sits close enough without adding bulk, yet still leaves room to move freely. The fit is good, and it doesn’t restrict movement at all. The quality of the fleece itself is excellent. The heavy 380 g/m² fabric feels dense, soft, and properly warm while remaining breathable. One of the best practical details is the extended back panel—it covers the lower back and kidneys really well and keeps that area protected from the cold. The lower pockets are another strong point. Even with a plate carrier on top, they remain accessible and usable, which is very convenient. The reinforced panels on the shoulders are also well thought out—they let you wear a plate carrier without quickly wearing out or damaging the fabric in the high-friction areas. I also added a side zipper on the right side, which lets me unzip the fleece from the side for quick access to a holster under the weapon. It’s a simple but very useful modification that makes the fleece even more practical for everyday carry. Overall, this is a solid, well-designed mid layer that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Comfortable, durable, and practical for both everyday use and more demanding conditions. Happy with the purchase.

    If someone needs a thick, warm fleece in a traditional style, this will be a great choice. I’ve been using it for about two years, and it performs really well, even when temperatures drop below zero.

    Size: XXL

    A very pleasant and comfortable fleece that is also warm and solidly made. In some places, single threads or small pieces of material do stick out, but that is a minor issue that can easily be trimmed off with scissors. It is also worth paying attention to the sizing — at 192 cm tall and 82 kg, size M is completely sufficient.

    Size: XS

    The quality is excellent. I believe it's worth paying extra for this model instead of choosing cheaper options. My daughter says it keeps her almost as warm as a jacket. At 165 cm tall, it fits her perfectly.

    Size: M

    The fleece is very warm, solidly made, and looks good, resembling the standard Polish military liner. A major downside, however, is that the Velcro panels are too small, so patches and rank insignia do not fit on them.

    This fleece sweatshirt fully satisfied me. It is warm, comfortable, and very pleasant to the touch. The material remains lightweight while effectively protecting against the cold, which makes it perfect for walks, trips, and everyday use. The fit is comfortable, and the quality of workmanship deserves recognition. I wholeheartedly recommend this product.

    Size: M

    The Helikon-Tex fleece is one of the best-value options in its class in terms of price-to-quality ratio. If you need a durable, very warm, and comfortable fleece for autumn and winter — for the shooting range, the woods, or everyday wear around the house — it will be a purchase that lasts for many years.

    Size: 3XL

    A very good, thick, and soft-to-the-touch fleece, ideal for exceptionally cold days or freezing weather as a layer under a jacket. As you would expect from Helikon, the build quality is genuinely at a very high level. The zippers operate lightly and smoothly without snagging, which is not always standard with other manufacturers. Bought on sale, it is an especially good value 😊

    If you choose Helikon, you can't go wrong. The product description holds true in every single point. The relaxed fit and good insulation are not the only reasons to expand your jacket collection.

    Very comfortable jacket. Great duty jacket, the Velcro areas are well placed, sewing on patches is no problem. The reinforcements on shoulders and arms repel wind and very light rain. High collar. Very comfortable to wear.

    I definitely recommend this fleece – it looks very warm and comfortable, does not restrict movement, and fits well at the wrists and waist. Thanks to the Velcro and drawstrings, you can adjust it individually. The material is very pleasant to the touch. I recommend it!

    Great fleece – probably the warmest and most windproof in the entire Helikon series. I have two green models, and so as not to stand out in the army, I also bought a black one, which closely resembles the original military model. The downside to the black one is that every hair from my dog is perfectly visible on it.

    Great cut of the fleece sweatshirt. It's thinner than the thickest Helikon fleeces, but thanks to the higher material density it protects better against the wind and gives more warmth. The material at the neck is soft and pleasant to the touch, but when I'm unshaven, it quickly wears off at the chin. It's a pity that no Helikon fleece uses additional reinforcement there.

    A very good fleece from Helikon, it has the right weight and insulates well against the cold. It is thicker than the Helikon Classic version, which I also own. Size S fits me at 78 kg, 174 cm tall, and 42 cm shoulder width. I bought it on a promotion, so the price was really attractive. The company is reliable, and the order was fulfilled quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend it.

    Great jacket, just as you want an operational jacket to be. But the question remains: if you make jackets for the military and police, why do they only get wider at the waist from size XL onwards? The L fits me great, except the shoulders are a bit tight, and the XL has slightly wider shoulders but much more material around the waist. From XL onwards, the jackets are more tailored for overweight people rather than taller people. As emergency personnel, we should actually all have a normal body shape.
