Helikon-Tex Patriot Fleece - Black

The Black fleece jacket with a zip fastening provides efficient thermal insulation in cooler climates, while facilitating the release of extra heat and moisture that accumulate during intense physical exertion. The Helikon-Tex Patriot version is crafted from high-density fleece with a mass of 380 g/m2. Its roomy design accommodates additional layers underneath, such as lighter sweatshirts or thermal attire. The slightly elongated back effectively protects the kidney area from wind, and the jacket's overall length is optimized to allow easy access to pockets and equipment on the belt.

Breathable fleece

The fleece is comprised of 100% quick-drying polyester, weighing 380 g/m2, offering excellent thermal insulation and efficient airflow. With these characteristics, the material effectively draws moisture away, ensuring the body remains warm. The fabric is notable for its longevity and resistance to mechanical wear, making the jacket ideal for challenging settings like hiking or tactical missions. Reinforced elbows enhance durability against abrasion and extensive use.

Adjustable hood

A spacious, enclosed hood delivers effective protection against cold and wind, enabling comfortable wearing of a winter hat without limiting movement freedom. The integrated soft brim protects the face from dripping water, enhancing comfort during adverse weather. The hood is permanently affixed to the collar, providing complete neck coverage when used. Elastic drawcords allow for the hood's adjustment, enabling a precise fit to the user's head shape and current needs.

Roomy pockets

The jacket features six large and expertly crafted pockets:

  • two chest pockets
  • two shoulder-height sleeve pockets
  • one pocket on the left forearm
  • one pass-through pocket at the back above the hips

All pockets are secured with sturdy and dependable YKK zippers. Zippers come with fabric pull tabs for easy operation, even with thick gloves. Inside the chest pockets, there's a section for a phone and cable openings, such as for headphones.

Velcro panels, adjustable cuffs and elastic waistband

Each shoulder is fitted with Velcro panels for affixing patches, unit insignia, or Morale Patches. The sleeves have hook-and-loop adjustable cuffs, allowing precise wrist fit adjustments. The jacket's lower section features an elastic drawcord that effectively blocks cold air from entering from below, preserving warmth.

Review summary

Automatically prepared based on reviews

This fleece is very warm, thick, and comfortable, making it a strong choice for autumn, winter, and outdoor use, and many reviewers wear it instead of a light jacket. Buyers especially praise the solid build quality, durable fabric, hood with a visor, underarm ventilation, elbow reinforcements, and the large number of roomy, practical pockets. The fit allows good freedom of movement and usually leaves space for an extra layer underneath, but sizing often runs large or varies with body shape, so checking the measurements carefully is important. The most common drawbacks are the lack of standard lower hand pockets, chest pockets placed quite high, limited protection in strong wind, and occasional concerns about Velcro, zips, and the quality of newer production batches. Even with those issues, most opinions describe it as a highly functional, durable, and worthwhile fleece for outdoor activities, work, and everyday wear in cold weather.

    This is a very comfortable, warm, and solidly made fleece. Personally, I find it hard to get used to the pockets placed on the chest, but the small compartments inside them work great for carrying a flashlight, keys, or pepper spray, which keeps everything organized. I recommend this fleece and would buy it again without hesitation.

    Size: L

    This is already my fourth fleece from Helikon, and once again I am very satisfied. Great product. Size L fits well for 183 cm height and 87 kg weight, and additionally a sweatshirt fits underneath it without any problem. The hood is comfortable and appropriately roomy, and the material itself is really warm. It has proven itself in the field and, as long as there is no precipitation, it serves me even in winter as an outer layer. Definitely a product worth recommending.

    Size: M

    I chose size M at 180 cm tall and 78 kg in weight, and it fits well. I even thought it would be a bit longer, but the length is right, and the sleeves sit as they should on my build and do not stick out. In this version, a flannel shirt can still fit under the fleece without any problem, and the fleece itself also sits well when worn just over a T-shirt. It is genuinely very warm, has quite a few extra features, the color is rich, and the material is exceptionally soft. We’ll see how it holds up over time.

    Size: M

    The fleece is very thick, durable, and well made. At 10 degrees, I wear it over a short-sleeved shirt and it still feels really warm, and with a thinner sweatshirt underneath, it can easily replace a jacket.

    This is definitely one of my best purchases. Great fleece – very warm and comfortable. The pockets are perfectly placed, and their number is just right. The zippers are strong and work flawlessly. The hood is large and has a visor. I usually use it as an outer layer, but sometimes I wear it under a jacket. If anyone is hesitant, I highly recommend it – you won't be disappointed.

    I'm not sure if this fleece needs any more recommendations, because I think everyone has already noticed its strengths. It's very warm, incredibly comfortable, and looks great. The practical pockets and excellent hood with a visor are solutions that every user will surely appreciate. I use it both while on duty and in the mountains, and it's also perfect for cycling on cooler days. In my opinion, it's a real hit.

    This is one of the better fleece jackets in the military category. It works well both for everyday wear and as a layer over a uniform. It retains warmth very well and provides a high level of wearing comfort.

    Size: M

    I chose size M for a height of 187 cm and a weight of 87 kg. Everything fit well. Helikon is, as always, top-notch. High-quality, thick, warm fleece. A large number of pockets. Comfortable cut, does not restrict movement. I use it as a jacket in autumn and spring. But keep in mind: it does not protect against wind.

    Very high quality sweatshirt. Comfortable, warm, and cozy. I recommend it! This is not the first time I have bought products from this company, and the quality is always excellent. The size chart is clear and matches reality...

    This is the best fleece I’ve ever had — it’s so warm that you can genuinely wonder whether a jacket is even necessary. I wear the Helikon Alpha underneath it and the Trooper on top as a wind layer, and even at -3°C it’s still comfortable.

    Size: M

    The hoodie itself is comfortable and keeps you warm well. My first experiences were not exactly good, because when I wanted to put it on, the seam at the hood started to split and come apart, and the same thing happened when I wanted to take it off. This is strange because the size M fits my build of about 180 cm and around 100 kg perfectly, with enough room for even a regular sweater underneath, so it is not too small. Overall, the material is very good, but the thread used for the stitching seems to be of rather weak quality.

    Size: S

    Based on the reviews and the size chart, at 175 cm tall and 84 kg, I chose size S. The fleece fits perfectly, as if it were made especially for me. It’s a great product — warm, pleasant to the touch, and most importantly, it doesn’t restrict movement.

    I bought this fleece as a layer under a lightweight winter jacket, and it works great — it’s very comfortable. A big advantage is the wide underarm vents, which can be opened even before the freezing weather arrives. This is a really comfortable fleece.

    The product is fine. I bought my first Patriot in Coyote in 2017, and it still serves me well. Now I ordered the Shadow Gray version so it would match another set of clothes, and I’m satisfied with what I got. At 190 cm tall, size XL fits perfectly. Patriot still maintains good quality. I recommend it.

    The Helikon-Tex Patriot fleece made a very positive impression on me. What I value most is its solid construction, wearing comfort, and functional cut. The material provides warmth effectively and seems durable, which makes it perform well in various conditions. A big advantage is the numerous pockets, thanks to which you can always keep the most important small items close at hand. The high collar protects the neck well from cold and wind. The Coyote color version looks very good and pairs отлично with tactical and outdoor clothing. The fleece is comfortable, does not restrict movement, and works well during walks, trips, and field work. It can be worn on its own on cooler days or as an extra layer under a jacket when it gets colder.
