The fleece is very well made and extremely comfortable, and the hood with a visor fits perfectly to the head, almost like a cap. It retains warmth exceptionally well, but as a result, I sweat in it quickly during more intense activity. I think such a thick material does not allow the skin to breathe well. I wear size L, which fits well and adds to the comfort, but it may also limit ventilation inside. It works great during stops or on very cold days, but during intense walking, it might be too warm.
Helikon-Tex Patriot Pro Fleece - Shadow Grey
Shadow Grey hooded sweatshirt made of advanced Stormfleece fabric that combines the properties of warm fleece and lightweight softshell. Ideal for those looking for clothing that provides effective insulation against cold, both for everyday wear and outdoor activities.
The dual-layer construction based on varied fabric properties guarantees a high level of thermal protection while maintaining low weight and freedom of movement.
Stormfleece fabric - warm fleece and lightweight softshell
Stormfleece combines the functions of two types of clothing in a single layer. As a result, the hoodie effectively protects against cold while offering high comfort in various conditions.
The outer part is made of a softshell-like fabric with a Grid Fleece structure. This material is known for its elasticity, which supports full mobility during physical activity. It also ensures air circulation, effective moisture wicking, and improved wind resistance.
The inner side is lined with soft fleece with extended fibers that retain heat very well. The quick-drying fabric with a grammage of 256 g/m2 provides adequate thermal insulation without adding unnecessary bulk.
five pockets for accessories and sturdy YKK zippers
The model features five pockets:
- two side pockets
- one chest pocket
- two internal pockets
Each pocket is equipped with durable YKK zippers, finished with pulls for easy handling, even when wearing gloves.
fitted hood, Velcro panels on the shoulders
The fitted hood effectively protects the head, while the light collar shields the neck from cold. Velcro panels are placed on the shoulders for attaching patches or emblems. Additionally, they feature laser-cut slots that allow you to carry small accessories such as pens.
two-way YKK zipper and elastic trimming
The fleece closes with a two-way YKK zipper, secured at the bottom with a snap fastener to prevent accidental opening. Elastic trimming on the sleeves, hood, and bottom hem ensure a better fit and additional protection against cold and wind.

I decided to return the fleece. Overall, everything is fine, but the manufacturer saved on the zippers, which work very badly – they are hard to zip and unzip, and they don’t move smoothly. Regarding the velcro on the shoulders, that’s also a bit too much. Soon, we’ll start seeing velcro even on underwear or socks.

I usually choose size L, but even the hoodie in size M is still a little too loose. Overall, I am very satisfied. You can feel pleasant warmth as soon as you put it on. It's really a modern, lightweight fleece that keeps you very warm. Unfortunately, there is one drawback – the fastening at the neck is very irritating... Maybe I'll get used to it over time.
