Warm, soft, zippered fleece sweatshirt with a spacious hood with visor. The 380 g/m2 material provides thermal insulation for even the most severe frosts, enabling the simultaneous removal of excess heat and moisture (sweat) released during exercise. Increased breathability and thermal exchange with the environment is facilitated by underarm vents, closed by zippers. The opening and closing directions of the zippers are chosen so that the owner will have no trouble operating them independently.

Thanks to the roomy fit a thinner sweatshirt can be worn under the sweatshirt, but even a bulletproof vest will fit. The rear part is slightly elongated to protect the lower back from being blown up, but the whole jacket is quite short - mainly to provide unobstructed access to pockets and equipment carried on the belt of the pants. 

The sweatshirt has six pockets:
- two chest ones closed with zippers,
- two on the sleeves at shoulder height,
- one on the left sleeve above the wrist,
- one so-called poaching pocket - on the back under the cross with two independent accesses - from the right and left side.

The shoulder pockets have soft Velcro, allowing you to attach a properly prepared patch.

The hood is voluminous so that it can be worn over a head already protected by a cap. It has a soft visor to protect the wearer from water runoff directly on the face. The hood is sewn to the collar in such a way that the lining does not expose the neck. As a result, particularly sensitive areas are protected from wind and cold.

The sleeves from wrist to elbow have been reinforced with strong material, while the elastic cuffs have been replaced with a velcro fastening patch, allowing the size to be adjusted depending on the thickness of the wrist, as well as whether the wearer is also wearing gloves or, for example, a watch.

In order to protect the body from hypothermia due to airing or getting wet, ECWCS clothing should be used.

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.

    I highly recommend it; overall, I really like the Helikon-Tex brand. I have many items from them, and they are simply top-notch. The fleece is very warm, dense, and comfortable, so it is well suited for autumn, winter, and outdoor use, and many users even wear it instead of a light jacket.

    Size: XL

    I was looking for a hoodie that fills the gap between a thin layer and a softshell, something that can be worn as an outer layer (when it’s not raining, of course). Ideal, nice, comfortable, just a heads-up: I had to exchange the size for one size smaller.

    I received this hoodie as a gift, and it was my first experience with this brand. It's well made, has conveniently placed pockets, and very warm fleece with the option of underarm ventilation. It doesn't restrict movement. I'm very happy with this gift and definitely recommend it!

    Highly recommend! I bought it for my boyfriend — it's warm, pleasant to the touch, and the biggest advantage is the many pockets. My boyfriend is satisfied, so my opinion is very positive as well. I think we will definitely buy it again, just in a different color.

    Very satisfied with this fleece! I ordered an XL, which fits me very well at 1.86 m and 90 kg. It’s very warm and comfortable, and the pockets come in very handy.

    Size: S

    A comfortable and warm fleece, it has helped me out many times in difficult weather conditions. The only drawback in my opinion is its hood; my hair and head do not feel entirely comfortable in it.

    This is a thick, warm, and very practical fleece that I would buy again without hesitation. The pockets are placed in a very convenient way. At 192 cm tall and 95 kg, size XL fits perfectly. The hood with a brim effectively protects the head during chilly October mornings.

    It performs excellently on freezing days — it is very thick, sturdy, and provides a lot of warmth. The excellent hood with a visor, reinforcements on the elbows, and as many as six functional pockets make it an exceptionally durable jacket both for forest outings and for everyday use. An additional advantage is the underarm vents, which effectively protect against overheating.

    It works very well in winter — it is warm, comfortable, and carefully made. Of course, it does not protect against the wind, but in the case of fleece that is completely natural. Also a plus are the numerous pockets and the solid build quality.
