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.
Helikon-Tex Patriot Fleece - Olive Green
The Olive Green fleece jacket, complete with a zip closure, provides efficient thermal insulation in cooler conditions while facilitating the escape of excess heat and moisture created during strenuous activity. The Helikon-Tex Patriot model is crafted from high-density fleece with a weight of 380 g/m2. Its roomy design accommodates additional layers underneath, such as lighter sweatshirts or thermal clothing. The slightly extended back area effectively protects the kidney region from wind, while the jacket's length is optimized to allow easy access to pockets and gear worn on the belt.
Breathable fleece
The fleece consists of 100% quick-drying polyester with a density of 380 g/m2, offering excellent thermal insulation and efficient airflow. These qualities ensure the fabric quickly draws moisture away, keeping the body warm. Known for its toughness and resistance to wear and tear, the fabric is ideal for challenging conditions like hiking or tactical missions. Reinforced elbows enhance resistance against abrasion and intensive use.
Adjustable hood
A spacious, enclosed hood effectively protects against cold and wind, allowing for the comfortable use of a winter hat while maintaining freedom of movement. The built-in soft brim safeguards the face from dripping water, enhancing comfort in unfavorable weather. Secured permanently to the collar, the hood provides complete neck protection when in use. Elastic drawcords offer adjustment, ensuring a precise fit to the head's shape and the user's current needs.
Roomy pockets
The jacket features six generous and meticulously crafted pockets:
- two pockets on the chest,
- two sleeve pockets positioned at shoulder level,
- one pocket on the left forearm,
- one pass-through pocket located at the back just above the hips.
All the pockets are secured by robust and dependable YKK zippers. These zippers are equipped with fabric pull tabs, facilitating easier use even when wearing bulky gloves. Inside the chest pockets, there is a section for a phone and cable openings, suitable for headphones.
Velcro panels, adjustable cuffs and elastic waistband
Both shoulders incorporate Velcro panels, perfect for affixing patches, unit insignia, or Morale Patches. The sleeves feature hook-and-loop cuffs that can be adjusted to ensure a precise fit around the wrists. An elastic drawcord at the jacket's lower section provides effective protection against cold drafts from below and aids in retaining warmth.

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.

Warm, incredibly comfortable, and even softer to the touch. The fleece is very well made. It’s my number one choice whether it’s snowing or the wind is really blowing. Perfect for any cooler trip to the woods. Definitely a must-have.

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.
