The fleece is extremely warm and doesn't restrict movement. It has a great design, and the placement of the pockets as well as the panels on the sleeves for patches are definite advantages.
-
This is another fleece from this brand that I own, this time in a different color. Helikon products are really worth recommending – they've never let me down. This fleece is warm, protects well against the cold, and works perfectly on colder days in autumn and winter.
-
It is relatively warm, but it is a pity that it does not have a hood. It works great under a down jacket. I recommend it for colder days; it will work well as an extra layer. However, in my opinion, the price is a bit too high.

Im 176 cm, 85 kg, with a 40 inch chest. Size M fits well overall, but its too tight around the neck, making it uncomfortable to wear sometimes, and i cant zip it all the way up because i have a feeling i may throw up. Size L, on the other hand is too big. Overall, its a good second layer, you can wear it under your Gunfighter jacket when the temperature is around 5°C, anything lower and you will need a thicker fleece.
-
I saw this fleece on an instructor and immediately wanted the same one, it looks really cool, comfortable, has many pockets, and is quite warm. I especially like the texture of the fleece.
-
This is a very comfortable fleece, even at 5 degrees it feels warm. I happily recommend it to others. It's just a pity that the versions with a hood are no longer available.
-
Top quality product. The fleece is comfortable, warm, and lightweight, making it great as a mid-layer under a jacket. I consider the lack of a hood a plus if it's to be worn under a jacket. It's very comfortable, and the pockets are placed in practical locations. I wouldn't trade it for any other!
-
Great fleece from Helikon. It is very comfortable, flexible, and fits well. Made of durable and breathable material. It protects the neck from cold well, and is very warm itself. Color is also a plus. I bought it in green and gray.
-
Light, warm, and very comfortable fleece. Works perfectly both worn alone and as a layer under a jacket. Retains warmth while also breathing well. Product matches the description, I am very satisfied with the purchase.
-
Fleece tested on the front line in Ukraine, fits perfectly under a uniform sweatshirt, maintains temperature well and still looks like new after many washes. Also used under a tactical vest. I recommend it.
-
It's worth buying a larger size because the sweatshirt is quite narrow in the shoulders and biceps, but loose around the stomach. The material is pleasant to the touch and the fleece keeps you warm at low temperatures. Despite these features, I really recommend this fleece.
-
Very successful purchase. I waited to review it since March so I could test it thoroughly. Used and washed regularly, it hasn't lost color or shape. Durable and comfortable both on warmer and colder days. I'm planning to buy another in a different color. Highly recommend.
-
The fleece is very comfortable and light, with an interesting "grid" texture. It works perfectly as a sweatshirt under a warm jacket or over thermal underwear during late autumn walks. It has a great cut.
-
Warm, comfortable fleece that fits the body well. The Coyote color is quite dark, which I like. The pockets and cut are well thought-out. Perfect for forest trips.
