Really pleased with this hoodie. Great quality, comfortable to wear and a really nice fit without being overly baggy. The black\/melange grey looks smart enough for everyday use while still being practical, and the material feels well made. Definitely one I'd recommend.
Warm, all-season hoodie with YKK zipper.
The hoodie's cut promotes freedom of movement and excellent ventilation under the garment layer. The deep hood protects against the cold, as well as wind and precipitation.
The hoodie has 8 pockets:
- two classic hip ones,
- hidden zippered pocket (both pockets),
- two internal mesh pockets,
- two pockets on shoulders (left + right).
In addition, on both sleeves and in the lower part of the hood there are sewn-on panels velcro allowing you to attach any emblems, such as the national flag, the emblem of the unit or the so-called Morale Patches, so you can give the hoodie an individual character.
Keeping the temperature underneath the hoodie is ensured by elastic welts. The high main zipper closure creates a collar that protects the neck and face from unfriendly weather conditions.

Size: XL
This hoodie completes my Helikon collection of kangaroo hoodies — I already have the Lite, Covert, and Rogue models. The sizing is standard, just like the others, and XL fits perfectly at 185 cm tall and 100 kg. I bought this model last because reviews about the shiny fabric had put me off, but here I was pleasantly surprised — the light gray version has only a very slight sheen. The hoodie looks stylish and seems warm, but only time will tell whether the material will prove durable, resistant to snags like the Rogue, and free from pilling like the Covert. I will definitely try to remove the hook-and-loop patches from the sleeves and hood, because on a typically urban hoodie they are completely unnecessary. Unfortunately, Helikon often adds hook-and-loop where it is not needed and leaves it out where it really would be useful, such as on the Woodsman or Pilgrim hoodies and jackets — but that is just a characteristic of this brand. Most importantly, though, it is a great Polish company ;)

The sweatshirt is fine, it has large pockets and well-designed smaller pockets. I already have two colors of this model and I think the price is attractive. I own two sweatshirts that differ in color and size.
-
The sweatshirt is great, the material is pleasant to the touch – different from regular cotton, it feels lighter and less warm. It has an everyday look, although you can see a subtle military accent. Very cool item!
-
The sweatshirt is very comfortable and carefully made. The material is pleasant to the touch, retains heat well, and works both for everyday wear and outdoor activities. The cut allows for freedom of movement, and the pockets are functional and spacious. The sturdy zippers and solid finishing also deserve mention. The black color is classic and easy to match with other clothes. Overall, the sweatshirt looks great and is very comfortable to wear.
-
The sweatshirt has an interesting, slightly military style – it's discreet, but stands out with its character. The material has an interesting texture, and the workmanship and quality are very good. The promotional price is attractive.

I think this sweatshirt is a great choice - it's very comfortable. The number of pockets is excellent, but that's standard for Helikon. I usually wear size M and this size fits me well, although I would prefer it to be about 5 cm shorter (I'm 175 cm tall), but I've already gotten used to it and it’s not a problem. The sweatshirt is warmer than the Alpha Tactical, but it also has a different use. I'm very satisfied with this purchase and I'm considering getting another one :-). I've seen opinions about the supposedly "shiny" material - I had some concerns, but in my opinion the shine is minimal and looks attractive. I can honestly recommend it.

Very nice sweatshirt, perfect for spring and autumn days, you can wear it over a T-shirt because it’s warm enough and gives light rain protection. The sizes are a bit confusing, it's worth comparing with your own clothes.
-
The hoodie is very comfortable and provides warmth. The material is pleasant to the touch and the zipper works flawlessly. Everything is carefully finished. An additional advantage is the nice colors and attractive price. I'm also very pleased with the presence of velcro on the shoulders.
-
Very good sweatshirt, but you should be careful when choosing the size. I usually wear L from Helikon, but based on other reviews, I chose M and it turned out to be perfect.
-
I bought this hoodie after accidentally damaging the Tactical Hoodie Light. My first impression was odd because of the shiny material. For everyday use, the hoodie is okay, but after a few months, I went back to the Light version because I prefer its material—it's more pleasant, not shiny, and looks better for everyday wear. I'm 185 cm and 100 kg, size L fits well in both this and the Light model.
-
The sweatshirt is comfortable, lightweight, and at the same time warm. The material is extremely pleasant and durable. The pocket design is well thought out, and the zippers are solid. Visually I like it very much too, especially the Gray color. I definitely recommend this product.
-
A truly high-class sweatshirt. It stands out for its solid workmanship, it’s thick and pleasant to the touch. It has functional pockets. You can instantly feel it's an excellent product. It's rare when it comes to clothes... I wish everything looked like this :P I definitely recommend it!
-
Very comfortable. At 182 cm tall and 85 kg, size L fits perfectly. The workmanship is high quality. Sturdy zippers. The hood is neat, doesn't stick out, so the whole thing looks tidy.

A well-made, very comfortable and practical sweatshirt. Thanks to the many pockets, it's suitable for everyday use as well as for the shooting range. It is sewn from thick, warm material, so it will be mainly useful on cooler days.
