Warm, soft, zippered sweatshirt fleece 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 cut 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 kidneys 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 jacket 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 - on the back under the cross with two independent accesses - from the right and left side.
The shoulder pockets have soft Velcro (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.

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!

I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT FOR SLIM PEOPLE The fleece is thick and provides a lot of warmth, but its cut is so unflattering that, in my opinion, it's completely unsuitable for people with a BMI below 25. You can clearly see this in the photos. Sweatshirt size M My body type: 180 cm tall, weight between 65 and 70 kg Description of the photos: 1. Too much material on the sleeves 2. Appearance of the sweatshirt when zipped up 3. So much excess material that you can wrap yourself up in it like in a bathrobe 4. Zipped sweatshirt from the side 5. Zipped sweatshirt from the side showing the excess material The sweatshirt does not have hand pockets, but instead has an impractical pocket on the back. The sweatshirt is extremely "oversized," even for outdoor clothing. The sleeves are very wide and move with every motion, and the amount of material on the torso allows you to wrap yourself up in it like a bathrobe. Size M is so loose I could easily wear another sweatshirt or a thin jacket underneath, but size S would be too short and would expose my stomach, while still not fitting closely to my body. If the sleeves were narrowed by about 1/4 and the body circumference by about 1/3, the sweatshirt would be great—in its current form, it's at best average. The M size is more like an American L. I bought it on sale for 250 PLN, but I think the real value is at most 200 PLN. If it weren't for the very harsh winter and the need to immediately buy something warm to wear under a jacket, I definitely wouldn't have chosen it.

I bought this sweatshirt mainly for its practicality, numerous pockets, and thick fabric. I immediately tested it in severe frost – as an extra layer under a light jacket, it worked excellently and kept me warm at -18°C. The stitching quality is great, nothing unravels or falls off. Size M turned out to be a bit too short for my height of 174 cm, while size L is a bit looser, but works perfectly as an outer layer.

This is a durable fleece that will hold up for many years of intensive use, whether in the forest, at the shooting range, or for everyday wear. In the Olive Green shade, it looks very classic and matches most trekking pants.

The fleece is exceptionally warm and comfortable. The sizes are indeed larger than usual – I usually choose XL, but here the L is roomy, which is a plus because I use this fleece instead of a jacket. I honestly recommend it!

Nice to the touch, warm, and well-made fleece. I was hesitating between size M and L – I took M and it fits well, although it is a bit larger than a standard M. Minus: there is no pocket on the belly.

This fleece perfectly fulfills its function in terms of thermal insulation. It is made of a soft and pleasant-to-the-skin material that effectively retains heat, making it ideal for cooler days—both as a standalone layer and as part of a layered outfit. It is equipped with several pockets of various sizes that are great for small items, a phone, or documents. The hood with a high collar offers good wind protection, and the elongated back is an additional advantage that increases comfort on colder days.
