It’s worth noting that the product is well made. If you intend to wear it over something else, I suggest choosing a size bigger than your usual. I personally went for the largest available, and it fits just how I like – there’s a bit of room, it doesn’t sit tight. I wore it over a long-sleeve sweatshirt – at temperatures above freezing it was perfect, and during activity, it was entirely sufficient. If you stand still for a long time, your experience may vary. The hood is hidden and adjustable – which is just fine for me. The sleeve pockets are zippered and have Velcro for morale patches, which is an interesting feature. There are large chest pockets with double zippers, and inside there are extra compartments. It makes a great set with the pants. I’m 185 cm tall, have a 136/138 cm chest, and weigh about 118 kg (weight is going down). The Helikon Patriot fleece fits me comfortably in size XXL. I recommend it because it’s a comfortable choice for layering and offers protection from the wind.
Lightweight softshell jacket made of stretchy, high-tech StormStretch material, which provides good breathability and durability. On the outside, the jacket is coated with Teflon coating to protect against dirt and light rain.
The jacket is equipped with four practical pockets:
- two zippered chest pockets with internal organizers,
- two shoulder pockets.
The extended cut, adjustable hood, cuffs and hem of the jacket will allow you to fit the Blizzard jacket to any figure, ensuring adequate protection from adverse conditions. The hood can be hidden in the collar for convenience.
Velcro panels are sewn on both shoulders of the jacket, allowing you to attach any patches or emblems, such as the national flag, unit emblem or so-called Morale Patches, so you can give your jacket an individual touch.
The sleeves from wrist to elbow have been reinforced with durable material, while the elastic cuffs have been replaced with a patch fastened with velcro, which allows you to adjust the size depending on the thickness of your wrist, as well as whether you also wear gloves or, for example, a watch.
The zippers are made by a well-known Japanese company YKK.

Very nice jacket with an almost elegant cut and a well-fitted hood with visor. Good for cooler, but not very cold days, or for biking in temperatures around 10–15 degrees (depending on your preference and what you’re wearing underneath). It’s great that the chest pockets can be used for extra ventilation (separate underarm vents). The only downside is it feels tight around the neck when the hood is stowed in the collar.

Fantastic jacket, exactly what I was looking for: lightweight, comfortable, well-fitted, with many practical pockets. The material is light yet durable and provides great wind protection. Highly recommend.

A warm and solid jacket. It is very comfortable, fits the body well, and looks elegant. Very functional, especially for people working in various services who value thermal comfort and discretion.

Warm, solidly made jacket. Very comfortable, fits the body well, and at the same time looks elegant. It works great for daily use, especially for people working in services who value comfort, warmth, and discretion.

Great as an outer layer over the Helikon Liberty fleece. The jacket is thin, but perfectly protects against wind and light rain. Lots of pockets. The only downside is there is no way to detach the hood—it is always in the collar, which causes a slight bulge.

A lightweight, breathable, and high-quality softshell protects perfectly against the wind. Very comfortable both for everyday use and for cycling. I think it's definitely worth it for the price.

The material and workmanship of the jacket make a really high-quality impression, and the whole thing looks solid. The sizes are a bit larger, so you can choose a size smaller than usual (e.g., if you wear M, choose S). The Adaptive Green color is between Coyote and Olive Green; in the city, it does not attract attention, and during tactical activities, it camouflages excellently.

The jacket is made of StormStretch material, which protects against wind and light rain, now in a new version. The pockets are practical, the jacket is lightweight and easy to pack, and the cut stands out compared to classic military models. Together with the Blizzard pants, it makes an interesting softshell set. The only thing that bothers me now is the two-way zippers in the pockets, but I guess that’s just a matter of getting used to it.

Very pleasant jacket. Size matches the description. The jacket is very thin, so it's perfect for summer as a windbreaker, but if someone needs something for autumn, it’s better to choose another model. This one is thin, light—a good choice for cooler summer evenings with a chance of rain.
-
Comfortable jacket, very practical, carefully made, light, and as expected. The order process went smoothly, and delivery was very fast. I often shop at militaria.pl and so far have had no problems with products or order processing.

This is an excellent jacket, and you can also use it as a sweatshirt. Durable material and cleverly placed pockets. When the hood is stored and you want to put on a scarf, it gets a bit tight at the neck, but it's not a big problem. The jacket compresses easily and doesn’t take up much space in a backpack. Additionally, it was bought on sale, which makes me even happier.

Beautifully made jacket with a well-thought-out number of pockets. Light and compresses easily in a backpack. Sizing is fine, although with the hood folded into the collar, it gets tight at the neck, especially if you want to wear something over it. I bought it on sale, which makes me even happier.
