I highly recommend this sweatshirt! It is very comfortable, warm, and well-made. I have been wearing the green version for several years now; it has been washed many times and used practically all year round—from spring to winter—and nothing has happened to it, which I can't say about products from other companies that I have tested during this time. Recently, I also bought several other colors and I must admit that the quality, durability, and functionality of all the models from Helikon Tex are at the highest level when it comes to clothing available for civilians. The price matches the quality, and the number and organization of the pockets (both the kangaroo pocket and the side pockets, sewn in from the inside to the shoulders) are very well thought out. I see no drawbacks and am happy with my purchase. I wholeheartedly recommend it, and the colors look much better in person than in the photos—especially the olive green, as well as the others I own: red, navy blue, and black. My opinion applies to all four sweatshirts that I currently use.
Helikon-Tex Urban Tactical Hoodie Lite Kangaroo - Light Grey Melange
Hoodie made from a blend of cotton and polyester. This model is produced from a fabric combining breathable cotton (51%) and durable polyester (49%). The lining made of polyester ensures thermal comfort. The fit of the hoodie allows for free movement and provides good ventilation under the clothing layer.
4 practical pockets
The hoodie has 4 pockets:
- a main kangaroo-style pocket
- a hidden zippered pocket (located above the main pocket)
- 2 pockets placed on the shoulders
velcro panels
On the sleeves, there are velcro panels that allow attaching various emblems, such as a national flag, unit insignia, or so-called Morale Patches, giving the hoodie a personalized character.
hood, high collar, elastic cuffs
A deep hood protects against cold, wind, and precipitation. Temperature maintenance under the hoodie is achieved through elastics. The high closure of the main zipper forms a collar, which protects the neck and face from adverse weather conditions.

Great sweatshirt, like most Helikon products. The material feels nice on the skin, and the XL size really matches what the manufacturer declares, unlike the current trend of downsizing for a "slim fit." I'm 186 cm tall with a 108 cm chest, and XL fits just the way I like – it gives a bit of room and doesn't restrict movement. The sweatshirt has a slightly tactical character, Velcro patches on both shoulders for morale patches, and a practical additional pocket just above the classic "kangaroo" pocket. Well thought-out features. Plus, two additional pockets, one on each sleeve. I'm very satisfied and definitely recommend it.

I have been using the Urban Tactical Hoodie Lite Kangaroo Helikon-Tex sweatshirt for quite a while now and I'm already on my 5th one, which says a lot about my level of satisfaction. Very comfortable for everyday use, practical cut, good freedom of movement, and a pleasant fabric to wear both outdoors and for urban use. The pockets are well designed and sturdy, the Helikon-Tex quality is definitely there. It's a lightweight but robust hoodie, perfect for mid-season or as a mid-layer. After several purchases, the quality remains consistent and it holds up excellently over time. For me, it has become a must-have.

Fantastic sweatshirt, I wish I had found it sooner. The pockets are amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for this kind of sweatshirt. The size, as always with Helikon, is perfect.

Top, nice color, fast delivery, exactly as described. I like the pockets and the zipper functions. Overall, maybe the sleeves are about 1 cm too short.
