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.
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.

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.

Size: M
The packaging’s own smell fades quickly. A very good first impression in terms of quality. Some seams have leftover threads, but that is not a problem. 182 cm / 73 kg / size M

This fleece is probably a bestseller among Nelikon products; the price-to-quality ratio is the best! It’s warm, practical, comfortable, and has a great design! I recommend buying it even in several colors!
-
I bought a Helikon-Tex Patriot fleece jacket. I am satisfied with the product. Fast delivery. Highest recommendations for both the fleece itself and the military store. I will continue shopping on this platform.

Size: M
I really liked the Helikon-Tex Patriot fleece jacket from the very first days of wearing it. It is warm, soft, and comfortable against the body, and you can immediately tell that this is not a thin, cheap fleece. It works well for cool weather, walks, trips outdoors, or as a mid-layer under a jacket. The fit is comfortable, it is easy to move in, it does not feel tight in the shoulders, and the sleeves do not get in the way. I especially liked the pockets — there are enough of them, and they are genuinely useful for a phone, keys, gloves, or other small items. The high collar protects the neck well when it is windy outside or when it gets colder. The Coyote colour looks practical and pairs well with tactical trousers, jeans, or a jacket. It is not a replacement for an outer jacket in rain or strong wind, but as a warm fleece for autumn, winter under an outer layer, or cool evenings, it is a very good option. I am satisfied with the purchase; the jacket is truly comfortable and looks durable.

In my opinion, finding a fleece of such exceptionally high quality and density at such a price is simply impossible! The size fits perfectly and matches the description according to the size chart. I RECOMMEND IT! Nlikon—respect! Delivery was fast, and the packaging was neat.

Size: M
A very high-quality, warm, and stylish fleece. There are pockets even in places I would never have thought of. But they are also very convenient. I have several items from Helikon, so I ordered without hesitation. It can be worn both as outerwear and as an additional layer (depending on the air temperature). The variety of colors and sizes will satisfy anyone. I recommend it.

Size: L
I have two fleece jackets and I think they’re fantastic. They work great under a vest, and the pockets are very practical. It’s an ideal option for people who don’t like clothing to restrict their movement. Even at -10 degrees, I’m almost too warm in it, so it’s really a great choice.
-
Size: S
Warm and well insulated, it fits well for someone who is 174 cm tall and weighs 84 kg. Size S works well as a layer under a jacket, while M is suitable as an outer jacket with enough room for a sweatshirt underneath. So far, the hook-and-loop fasteners work flawlessly, although they seem to be the least durable element.
-
I've been wearing one for almost three years. I also ordered one for my son a year and a half ago. In my opinion, it's the best fleece for this money: warm, comfortable, dries quickly after rain. Overall, I really like this brand.
-
Great fleece! It's warm, comfortable, and has a tactical look. There are velcro patches on the shoulders, so you can attach your own patches. The hood is well-designed, and the wide collar easily fits a neck gaiter.
-
This fleece is a true classic! It's very well made and works great for both everyday outings and outdoor activities. The sizing runs a bit larger than usual, so it can also serve as a light jacket.
-
The fleece is warm, comfortable, and has functionally arranged pockets. It works great both as an outer layer on cooler days and as an additional layer under a jacket. The olive color is versatile and looks attractive.
-
I wholeheartedly recommend this fleece – I used it all winter during severe frosts. It can serve both as a sweatshirt and as the main source of warmth on cooler days. At this price, it's a great choice.
