After wearing it for a while, the sleeves become uncomfortable; they are very narrow. It's hard to wear a watch, and taking the sweatshirt off can be difficult. Additionally, it seems a bit too airy.

The hoodie is equipped with two classic hip pockets for the most necessary things, which will serve to warm your hands on colder days. In addition, there are smaller, hidden zippered pockets inside.

Typical Helikon – solid look, functionality and a nice cut. Is it worth its full price? In my opinion, not completely. After a week of use, the sleeves started to pill. The hood could be deeper. The material is quite thin, but at about 15°C without wind, it's fine. The cuffs are really tight – you can't roll up the sleeves. If it cost 70% of its current price, I would recommend it without hesitation.
-
For the Helikon brand, this size fits very well. I usually wear M, and here size M also fits perfectly. The sleeves are the right length and the sweatshirt is not too short. Good quality, unusual color (somewhat resembles a sweater).
-
Very good sweatshirt – looks elegant while maintaining its tactical style. It has many practical pockets. The material is breathable and resembles wool. Unfortunately, it pills quickly. Despite that, I recommend it.
-
The sweatshirt is very well made, even better than many branded models. Very comfortable, with numerous pockets, made of pleasant material and with a comfortable cut. I recommend it.
-
Very good, comfortable and warm sweatshirt. It has many pockets, and the hidden ones are almost invisible. Unfortunately, the sleeve cuffs are definitely too narrow, so you can't roll up the sleeves.
-
Very good sweatshirt, it would have received the highest rating if it had been made in Poland. The sleeves fit tightly around the forearms and cannot be rolled up. Other than that, the zippers work well, the sweatshirt is warm and comfortable. Color same as in the picture. It looks somewhat like a sweater.
-
The sweatshirt is very comfortable, although the size seems a bit large – at 182 cm tall and 85 kg it's a little too big, but in the fall this could be an advantage. Very good workmanship and solid zippers.
-
This sweatshirt works great for everyday use, as always with Helikon the size and quality are good. Unfortunately, the material pills and easily sticks to the shirt underneath. Despite this, I consider the purchase successful – size L for 185 cm and 75 kg gives a bit of room, so you can wear a sweater underneath.
-
The sweatshirt is comfortable and quite loose, but the cuffs at the wrists are very tight. Putting it on with a watch can be difficult, although the material stretches a little. The pockets are great!
-
The sweatshirt looks very soft and is pleasant to the touch, and the quality is good. It works well for cooler days. The downside is that the material pills very quickly.
-
The sweatshirt is fine, very comfortable, but as others have already mentioned, the cuffs are terrible. The sleeve from the elbow down, especially the cuff itself, feels as if it was made for children or very slim women. I had trouble getting my hand through, even though my hands aren't big.
-
Very nice sweatshirt and another successful Helikon product. It looks great in person, and the material is exceptionally pleasant. The only downside is the very tight cuffs on the sleeves, which makes it hard to check the time on your watch. For a height of 170 cm and 72 kg, size S fits perfectly. The idea with zippered side pockets is great.
-
Another sweatshirt from Helikon. They still maintain high quality. Highly recommended. The zippered pockets are very functional. You will need a jacket for colder days.
-
The sweatshirt is warm and very comfortable, something between a sweater and a sweatshirt. The size matches the chart, although compared to my other Helikon sweatshirts in XL this one seems more fitted, despite having identical measurements in the description. The cuffs on the sleeves are long and fit well. The hidden zippered pockets inside the kangaroo pockets are very practical. The biggest drawback is that the material pills a lot, although the melange color hides it so you can’t see it on the garment, but it’s still a bit of a downside.
