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!

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.

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.

Excellent jacket. Quite robust for small outdoor tasks (carrying wood, small DIY projects) and warm enough to be comfortable in subzero temperatures and moderate walking (very effective and thermal hood). Plenty of pockets and loops. I always wear XL and that's what I chose. I could have taken L, but it would have been a bit tight (I have broad shoulders and like to have space to store things inside my jackets: here there are 2 inner mesh pockets for gloves, hat, etc.). I plan to treat it with a Nikwax coating, but as new, it is already naturally water-repellent. I love the loops for attaching a pouch or Mora knife on the outside. No regrets, it's exactly what I needed.

When I opened the package with the jacket, I had a very good impression. The material is pleasant to the touch and at the same time solid and durable. The jacket is not too thick, but it does its job well, especially when moving. Thanks to the zippers under the arms, you can easily regulate the temperature. The jacket has a lot of pockets and the hood fits well. I hope it will serve me for a long time.

A comfortable, warm jacket with spacious pockets. I am 187 cm tall and weigh 90 kg and I took size L. For city use with enough physical activity, it's generally warm enough down to -10..-15°C (with a t-shirt and fleece underneath). If you move less, you'll need something warmer. Overall, an excellent jacket.

I have been using the jacket every day since I bought it. It is well made, and the use of a slippery lining makes it easy to put on and take off. I have tested its resistance to sparks several times – not a single mark remained. Even at temperatures down to -9 degrees, it still kept me warm. The pockets are spacious and very conveniently placed, and the hood and its adjustment also meet my expectations. I highly recommend it!

At first glance, the jacket seems quite thin for the suggested minimum temperature range. According to the specifications, it has 2/3 of the insulation compared to the Level 7, but the outer material is more durable. During tests while walking at -19°C (feels like -25°C), it generally fulfilled its function. Under the jacket, I wore two layers: a regular t-shirt and a cotton sweatshirt—it was fine, but nothing beyond that. In my opinion, for harsher conditions, a fleece would be useful in addition, especially during stops. Of course, this is an individual matter and may look different for others. A big plus is the ability to adjust the sleeves with Velcro, a drawstring at the bottom, and a high collar, which help limit heat loss. Overall, it gives the impression of a high-quality product; the outer material looks solid and matte. The design is very successful, and the placement of pockets and drawstrings raises no objections. I bought the jacket on sale, but in my opinion, it could still be a bit cheaper. Size M fits well on a person who is 178 cm tall and weighs 75 kg.

The Winter jacket is an excellent choice for me – surprisingly light, yet very warm. It performed great both in freezing temperatures down to -10 degrees and in strong winds. Before buying, I was hesitating between the Winter and Level 7, but I chose the Winter because of the greater number of pockets :) The only downside is that now the jacket is on sale and I could have gotten it about 90 PLN cheaper :)) Overall, I sincerely recommend it.

I'm 183 cm tall and weigh 95 kg. I chose the Helikon Yukon black jacket in size L – it fits perfectly. The jacket has a soft, smooth lining, which makes it easy to put on and take off. The outer material feels solid. There are lots of practical pockets and drawstrings, which make the jacket fit perfectly to your body shape. The hood is excellent. I haven’t had a chance to wear it yet, because I ordered it yesterday at 10 PM, and already received it today – I’m very impressed by such fast shipping from the MILITARIA.pl store. The price is high, but it matches the quality of the jacket. Greetings to the entire MILITARIA team!

Pros: - Very comfortable and flexible, easy to move around in - Keeps warmth well (tested during severe frosts), but requires additional layers underneath. Wearing it over just a T-shirt is not enough. - Practical pockets Cons: - The drawstrings on the zippers fall off after the first use - Price - for this amount you can find better products - The pockets are convenient, but quite small

I have been using the jacket every day since I bought it. It is solidly sewn and designed, for example, the smooth lining makes it much easier to put on and take off. The material handles contact with sparks well – I've tested it many times and there are no marks left. Even at -9 degrees, I was still warm. The pockets are very spacious and perfectly placed, at least for my needs. The hood and the adjustment options are also flawless. I definitely recommend it!

Tall, slim, long arms. 183cm/74kg. Size L - fits perfectly. Good quality. Lightweight. This is what I wanted. Congratulations on the purchase - to myself... Service - fast, no problems. Downside - price. Quality costs. As the classic says – cheap has already been. Happy with it.
-
The product stands out for its high quality and practicality. The materials used are solid, and using the product is comfortable, even in various weather conditions. A plus for the well-designed fit, which allows for free movement. However, the downside remains the price.
-
The jacket is amazing. I didn't expect such a lightweight jacket to be so warm. I tested it at -11 degrees, wearing only a short-sleeved t-shirt underneath. Incredible. If you add a thin sweatshirt, you can comfortably go out even at -20. The only downside is the straps on the ventilation zippers – you have to be careful that they don't come undone and get lost.

The jacket provides very good protection from the cold, especially if you wear thermal underwear underneath. The pockets and gear attachments are very practical. The insulated hood means you don't need to wear a hat, even in freezing weather. For a winter model, the jacket packs easily into a backpack because it compresses well. Size M fits great for a height of 184 cm and a weight of 74 kg – there’s still room for a sweatshirt. I tested it in temperatures from -4 to -12 degrees Celsius and it performed well. The downsides are the fairly high price and poorly attached cords to the zippers at the underarm vents – it's worth fixing these yourself right after purchase. Additionally, the 'Taiga Green' color doesn't look as good in real life as in the photos; it's better to choose 'Earth Brown.'
