Great jacket that I use both at work and in everyday life. It performs well in various weather conditions, effectively protecting against wind and offering comfort during long wear. The material is solid, and the cut does not restrict freedom of movement, which is important both at work and during outdoor activities. I also appreciate the functional pockets and sturdy construction. After using it for a long time, I can honestly say that this is one of the best softshells I've owned. I highly recommend it.

I feel like I prefer the earlier version of the jacket, although this one also has its advantages. I'm not convinced by the "flaps" over the zippers – it's an extra step to access the pockets, and I've never felt the need to cover the zippers; usually, it just took one move to open them, but now you have to look for them – it's even harder with gloves on [but maybe that's just my feeling, because I use it as an outer layer in colder temperatures]. The black version gets dirty easily – even a fingernail leaves marks. On the other hand, the pockets are excellent – the front ones fit even a large map. The small inside pocket is in an unusual place – in the previous version it was by the hand, now it's moved to the side, closer to the edge of the chest. Despite this, overall it's a very good product, I'll probably choose the green version over time, but I'm not sure if the changes in such a successful product were necessary.

Very nice lightweight jacket, windproof and water-repellent. As usual, high-quality Helikon-Tex workmanship. Durable fabric and very nice camouflage print. Recommended.

Nice windproof jacket, fits perfectly on the body, you can't even tell that it has enough space to fit a fleece underneath. It doesn't let the wind through even in strong gusts. Thanks to the military store for the discount coupon after the price dropped following my purchase.

The jacket is lightweight and doesn’t weigh much. Typical for Helikon, it fits well and is solidly made. The pockets are thoughtfully designed, and zippers provide ventilation. It has slight water resistance and effectively protects against the wind. I sincerely recommend it.
