I put on this fleece for the first time in October and it immediately became my favorite for colder days. It’s very comfortable, lightweight, and it keeps me warmer than I expected. The pockets are placed almost everywhere. The sizing matches the description. Great quality, good materials, and an attractive price. Definitely worth it!

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.

Polar Patriot is incredibly warm and comfortable – it performed great during several more challenging trips. The back pocket with a zipper (accessible from both sides) turned out to be very practical, even when I needed to carry some small groceries. It's worth having something for your neck on hand in case the collar doesn't provide enough insulation. The whole product is well made, and a few of my friends are already using it too.

Great, warm, and sturdy fleece. It has very spacious pockets, which is a big advantage. Carefully made from thick, warm material. I definitely recommend purchasing it.

The fleece works perfectly both during outdoor trips and for everyday use. The color remains vibrant and does not fade. Numerous pockets make it very convenient to use.

The fleece was purchased mainly with shooting range and work in mind. It performs excellently – it is thick, keeps you warm, and the zipper goes all the way up to the neck, providing protection in that area. The pockets are very functional for carrying various items; I personally keep additional magazines in them (since four on the belt are not enough). The sweatshirt also features zippers with mesh, which has a positive effect on ventilation. I definitely recommend it to all fleece enthusiasts. Helikon has once again lived up to the task!

The fleece is comfortable and very warm. It also has a lot of pockets, so you can store quite a lot in them. When it comes to sizes, there’s a bit of a problem, because I have another fleece in size L and it’s a bit tight in the shoulders, while this one in size XL is a bit too large. I recommend ordering two sizes and returning the one that fits less well.

The Helikon-Tex Patriot fleece jacket is a great option for people who value durability and warmth – it works perfectly on cooler days. The high-quality, thick fleece protects well against the cold, while also being comfortable to wear. The cut allows full freedom of movement, which is important for outdoor activities. Its functionality is increased by practical pockets and additional reinforcements in the areas most exposed to wear. The whole thing looks very aesthetic, and you can see the attention to detail. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a durable and warm fleece, both for everyday use and outdoor activities.

This sweatshirt is reminiscent of a softshell jacket, but it’s made of fleece. It has the same kind of pockets, cuffs, and a similar style. I’ve heard that the sizing runs quite large, so it’s worth being careful when choosing your size. This is the first version of the Helikon fleece, and the number of positive reviews speaks for itself.

The fleece was originally bought for the shooting range, but I liked it so much that I started wearing it every day. I also ordered a second one for a friend. It is very warm, practical, and has great pockets. I definitely recommend it!

It was supposed to be used only occasionally at first, but after testing it I realized it's worth wearing more often. It's comfortable, has lots of pockets, and works perfectly for everyday use. I definitely recommend it.

Great product, but it doesn't fully meet expectations. The fleece is very well made, has plenty of pockets (including a poacher's pocket), and the additional panels are an interesting feature. However, it is surprisingly heavy. I expected it to be warmer given its weight and material. It lets wind through quite easily. In my opinion, the sleeves are a bit too wide, and I would have preferred them to be more fitted. It might be difficult to fit under other jackets because of its size and thickness, so the outer jacket must be loose. However, worn on its own or combined with something like the Tramontane Wind Pack, it's excellent for wind protection.

This is already my next fleece from Helikon, the material and practicality are at a good level, but after prolonged use, the Velcro on the sleeves doesn't hold well. Despite this, I definitely recommend it.

Great, thick and warm fleece. Unfortunately, the bottom slider of the main zipper has come undone twice while sitting. Despite this, I definitely recommend it.

The fleece is very practical and aesthetic. Unfortunately, after a few weeks of use, the seams split, which should not happen at this price point.

Great and durable fleece. It's perfect for colder seasons. The material is sturdy and exceptionally pleasant to the touch. The fleece fits the body perfectly and doesn't restrict freedom of movement. The cuffs also do their job well. The product is really worth its price. I am very satisfied and highly recommend it!
