The outer layer is made of Duracanvas material, and the interior is filled with synthetic insulation Climashield Apex, providing good thermal protection and breathability. It has a high collar with a chin guard, mounting loops, and functional pockets for better organization. Perfect for long hikes and everyday use.

Climashield Apex filling, Duracanvas material

The outer shell is made of Duracanvas fabric with a weight of 230 g/m2, which can be wax-impregnated to improve protection against rain and moisture as well as abrasion resistance. The insulation consists of high-quality synthetic Climashield Apex insulation with a grammage of 67g/m2, ensuring effective cold protection even when wet. It is also characterized by lightness and good compression properties.

The jacket has 8 practical pockets:

  • two chest pockets with organizers
  • two lined hip pockets
  • one pocket on the left shoulder
  • two open internal pockets
  • one zippered internal pocket on the chest

All external pockets are zippered with YKK zippers. Below the chest pockets are paracord handles that allow for attaching small gear, preventing loss.

Two-way YKK zipper, ventilation openings

The main closure is a two-way zipper from YKK. The stand-up collar has a fabric guard protecting the chin from being pinched by the zipper. There are ventilation openings under the arms with mesh-finished zippers, increasing breathability and thermal comfort.

adjustable hood, high collar, adjustable cuffs

High collar enhances comfort during rain and wind. The hood is equipped with a 3-point adjustment system that allows precise fitting to the shape of the head and current weather conditions. Two drawstrings at the waist and bottom of the jacket allow for adjusting the circumference, preventing drafts. Cuffs adjustable with velcro and drawstrings in the hood and at the bottom of the jacket provide additional protection against the cold.

Velcro panel on the sleeve, Molle loops

On the left sleeve, there is a velcro panel measuring 11 x 8.5 cm, allowing the attachment of various emblems – such as a national flag, unit insignia, or so-called Morale Patches – giving the jacket a personalized appearance.

    Size: XL

    This is a really solid jacket. It is very well made, well thought out, and has practical, roomy pockets. The level of insulation feels ideal to me, although for extreme frosts around -20°C and below I use Helikon’s level 7, which admittedly keeps you wonderfully warm but looks more like a potato sack. The Yukon looks much more elegant and official, while still remaining very functional. The insulated hood is a big plus, because even with my bald head I do not feel cold. I also really appreciate the smooth, quilted lining — that was exactly what I had been missing most. For years I wore Patriot jackets from Helikon, but their fleece interior sticks to many shirt fabrics, which made putting them on and taking them off tiring. In the Yukon, that problem does not occur. Thanks to the smooth lining, the jacket goes on quickly and comfortably regardless of what you are wearing underneath. I ordered my standard XL size, the same as in all my Helikon fleeces, softshells, level 7 jackets, sweatshirts, and shirts. My only comment on the sizing concerns the sleeve length — in this model they are about 2 cm too long. I have not encountered that problem in other clothes from this brand. When the jacket is zipped up, it is less noticeable, but when it is unzipped, the sleeves droop even more. That does not particularly bother me, because they cover the wrists better and the wind does not get between the gloves and the sleeves, but for others it may be a drawback. Besides that, the high price is also worth mentioning, as it is definitely noticeable. Fortunately, I managed to reduce it a little thanks to saved-up KSK points. Even so, I am very satisfied with this jacket. The purchase was expensive, but definitely worthwhile.

    I definitely recommend it! The jacket is warm, comfortable, and practical – it works great during the fall and winter seasons. Made from solid, flame-retardant material, it provides good insulation from the cold, is waterproof, and protects against the wind. The only thing I miss are zippers at the ventilation openings – instead, there are drawstrings that easily come undone and are not very durable. It would be worth considering replacing them with zippers. Other than that, the jacket is worth its price and I don't see any other disadvantages.

    The jacket is excellently waterproofed, very solidly made, and well thought out. It has only one minor flaw, but I will pass that on directly to H-T. On the civilian market, it will certainly perform very well. Kind regards, and I wish you a healthy, peaceful holiday season and a happy New Year…

    Great jacket, I'm already impressed with its insulation performance! The size matches the measurements in the chart exactly, great. Quality-wise, it's certainly just as good as my other Helikon products.

    Size: L

    I bought this product with hunting in mind. Visually, it looks very good; however, it is not suitable for hunting because the hood is too thick and stiff. When the jacket is zipped all the way up to the neck and the hood is down, a hard, bulky collar forms around the head, resembling a tire. It probably blocks the wind effectively, but it makes turning your head while observing very difficult because your ears rub against the stiff material. It is even worse when you have some kind of electronic device behind your ear, because it keeps catching on the collar. It is also not possible to wear a hat comfortably, because the brim constantly rubs against the back of the collar, especially against its thick, stiff edge. For this reason, I cannot give it a higher rating, although for a different use the jacket would probably perform very well.

    I chose it specifically because of the material’s durability, and the jacket has fully lived up to expectations. Duracanvas is genuinely hard-wearing — it’s not afraid of branches, bushes, or accidental sparks, which is critical in the field. It fits comfortably, doesn’t strain the shoulders or back, and it’s comfortable to move around in. It blocks the wind excellently. The Coyote colour is practical and doesn’t show dirt easily. For active tasks and everyday wear — it’s exactly what’s needed. I recommend it to those who value reliability and functionality without unnecessary fuss.

    Overall, I liked the jacket. The material seems durable, and the look and functionality are excellent for a jacket meant for outdoor conditions; it can be worn every day and in the city.

    A solid winter jacket – extremely comfortable and warm. It provides excellent protection against the wind, and with waterproofing, also against rain. Paired with the Helikon Patriot fleece, even temperatures as low as minus twenty-five degrees are not a problem.

    This jacket works great both in the forest and in the city during winter, even down to -15 degrees, and with a few layers, you can withstand -20. It replaced my Jack, which after 8 years was no longer suitable. It is comfortable, breathable, and looks nice. My wife complimented both the color and the style.

    Very comfortable jacket, but I wouldn't say it's exceptionally warm – during an hour-long mass in winter at the church, you can get quite cold. On the other hand, during intense activity, it might get too warm. I especially like the smooth sleeve linings – it's really comfortable to put on. The other features are reminiscent of the Pilgrim or SAS Smock models. People familiar with other Helikon jackets will find it familiar.

    The jacket is not the warmest, but its advantage is its functional pocket layout and a very good hood. However, I am concerned by the continuous appearance of white fibers on the jacket’s surface, which looks as if the insulation is moving outward. I am considering filing a complaint.

    A very solid winter jacket. The thick, durable material provides excellent protection from the cold and wind. It's suitable both for everyday use and for outings in the outdoors. A big advantage is the spacious pockets and comfortable fit. The jacket is warm, functional, and still looks good even after extended wear.

    My second review after five months of wearing it. The jacket is really worth its price. It effectively protected me from the wind and light rain. It provides proper ventilation. The material is solid and durable. The pockets are extremely practical. I definitely recommend it.

    Very robust and warm winter jacket. It reliably keeps you warm even in sub-zero temperatures and is super practical thanks to the many pockets. The material seems high-quality and durable. I also like the color and fit – clear recommendation. The size fits perfectly!

    Looking for a jacket for a longer time, I was mainly tempted by the positive user reviews confirmed by transactions. I tried on the Earth Brown model in the store, but I wanted the Ash Grey color, so I decided to order the right size online. Unfortunately, when I received the jacket, there were a lot of loose threads, and I attached just a few photos as examples. The hanging loop was torn, and the straps on the underarm zippers also started to unravel, which other buyers had already reported. On black clothes, there are many threads visible – probably from the synthetic insulation. As for thermal insulation – nothing impressive. I don't understand reviews saying a t-shirt is enough at -10 degrees, because for me, I still need a fleece, and even then it’s just average, especially in the wind. The advantages are the look, pockets, adjustable hood, and lightness. Looking back, I regret this purchase; even at the reduced price, the jacket wasn't worth it.
