I give five stars, although I have a small suggestion—a zippered inner pocket would be very useful. This is already my second jacket of this type, which confirms its quality. The first one was a perfect fit, but that made it hard to fit much underneath. This time I chose a larger size, so it could serve as an extra layer—and it worked great this winter. Also, big plus for Militaria—the order placed on Sunday evening arrived at the parcel locker already on Monday morning.

The Helikon-Tex Level 7 Climashield Apex 100g is a well-designed jacket that guarantees a high level of warmth while remaining lightweight. The Climashield Apex filling provides excellent insulation from the cold, but the jacket itself is light and comfortable, without restricting freedom of movement. The outer fabric offers good protection from wind and moisture, which is useful in tough weather conditions. The fit is comfortable, and the pockets are arranged in a practical way—both for everyday use and in the outdoors. The entire jacket is made with great care and durability. It's a great option for those who need a warm yet lightweight jacket with a technical character.

One of the best in its range of use. Satisfied! The size is accurate, not undersized like some of its Chinese counterparts. I recommend it. Of course, the price is not low, but the jacket is worth it.

The jacket is very functional and comfortable. It works well both alone and as a second layer under the M65 without insulation. Even in severe frost (-10/-15 degrees), with a thin layer underneath, it did the job. A practical solution with drawstrings in the pockets – allows you to adjust the hood without having to take your hands out. It’s great as a layer under a military rain jacket. After detaching the Velcro, there are marks left, though they’re only noticeable up close (for me, they were bothersome for everyday use and under the jacket). The jacket is definitely worth its price.

Very good jacket, excellently made. I chose the Flecktarn camouflage model and it works perfectly for nature photography. It's not the warmest jacket in the world, but combined with a fleece and warm thermal underwear, I was able to sit still for two hours in a -10°C wind chill. I haven't tested it in heavy rain yet, but a two-hour session in light sleet caused no problems at all. What I like most about it is the high collar lined with fleece (which eliminates the need for a scarf or neck warmer) and the two-way zipper with internal pockets – perfect, for example, for storing gloves. If it had ventilation openings under the armpits, which are very useful during walking, it would be the perfect jacket for me.

The jacket is both lightweight and provides warmth. If you wear it properly and follow the right clothing principles, it meets expectations. It is practical, retains heat well, and gives the impression of being solid. Unfortunately, its biggest drawback is the price.

The jacket is warm and practical – it's perfectly suitable for wearing down to -5°C, I usually use it for city walks in a T-shirt. The zipper is a bit hard to fasten, but otherwise everything is fine. I would buy it again.

A very comfortable, high-quality, light, and warm jacket that, in my opinion, has no downsides. It comes with a compression sack for transport and storage, which is very convenient. The pockets are handy and the hood, which is hidden in the collar, is also convenient.

Very satisfied with the purchase of this jacket. It is very comfortable, lightweight, and warm. I was a bit confused about choosing the size. The manufacturer uses two scales, American and European. This is not mentioned on the website. The size chart seems to be American. I am 176 cm tall and weigh 86 kg. Size L fit me perfectly (American S). You can also wear a fleece underneath as a second layer.

I bought the Helikon TEX Level 7. I already used it in cold weather at night at -7°C, there were 2 layers, a T-shirt and the Level 7 jacket. It was warm, light, and comfortable. It looks stylish and modern. Very ergonomically designed, 5 stars.

First-class jacket. I normally wear size L / 50/52, I am 183cm tall, weigh 81 kg, slim build, and size L fits perfectly (I have other jackets and pants from Helikon; the sizing is always consistent!). It was a little fiddly to get the jacket into the compression sack, but it worked. You can still wear a pullover or fleece underneath without it feeling tight. The pockets and the hood with internal adjustment are great 😊, and the collar isn’t restrictive, it closes comfortably. It rustles a bit more due to the fabric and waterproofing compared to the British reversible thermal jacket I bought second-hand, but that one isn’t RipStop and is a bit thinner. Conclusion: Once again, an excellent product from HelikonTex. My absolute recommendation, especially for this price here at Militaer.eu!!!

The jacket is really warm and very comfortable, but I'm disappointed with the finishing details. After a short time, the cord with a plastic end at the zipper, which made it easier to fasten, came off. For this price, I expected better quality and durability.

I used this jacket for one season and it keeps you warm while being surprisingly light. Its cut is very practical, which makes it easy to wear different things underneath.

The jacket was bought in June, so it hasn't been tested in winter yet, but even after putting it on for a short time over a T-shirt I felt very warm – I had to take it off quickly. Seems like a great choice, quality and thermal properties are at a high level. Adjustable hood, pockets on both sides and at the back. At 186 cm and 90 kg, I chose size M and I'm happy – it fits nicely, not too loose, and a uniform fits under it without other gear. Only the sleeves could be a bit longer.

This is an ideal jacket. I think the price matches its quality. I wear it every day and there are no signs of wear. Highly recommend.
