Helikon M65 Covert Jacket - Earth Brown/Black

The jacket is very well made and the pockets are practically placed. The quick-release zipper mechanism works flawlessly. The size matches what is stated in the size chart on the website. Every military fan should consider adding it to their collection. In my opinion, this modern version of the Helikon jacket is better for practicality than the classic M65, and its appearance makes it easy to wear for everyday use. The covert version, unlike the M65, has no insulation – for some this is an advantage, for others a disadvantage, so when temperatures are around +5°C, it’s worth wearing a warm fleece (like Helikon Patriot or Alpha Tactical) and thermal underwear.

This jacket may not be suitable for extreme conditions, but for everyday use in the city or at work, it's excellent. The pockets are very well designed — they're very spacious, and the material is pleasant to the touch. This product fits perfectly into the “covert” category, because when you wear it with formal attire, it doesn’t stand out from the crowd — it looks like a regular, stylish military-style jacket, but it provides much higher comfort and convenience for carrying various items. The large capacity of the pockets is one thing, but being able to move comfortably even when they’re fully filled is fantastic. It also doesn’t attract attention when you have extra things with you. As I mentioned, this is not a jacket for mountain expeditions, but it wasn't designed for that. For everyday use, it protects very well against the wind — especially the collar is very useful — and it doesn't restrict movement, which is extremely important to me. Many other jackets, even branded ones, unfortunately don't meet this condition. A big advantage is also the double fastening — with both a zipper and buttons, which allows better temperature control and provides a sense of security, because even if the zipper gets stuck or damaged (which probably won't happen with this quality), there's still a second option. The price also seems adequate for the quality — fully justified. I definitely recommend it!

The jacket is well-made and looks durable, well-designed in terms of functionality. Unfortunately, as is common now, the sizing is not very logical. Every size is too short and too wide (especially in the waist). The proportions on this and many jackets on the site are made for short and stocky people. I'm 190 cm tall and weigh 78 kg, and none of the jackets fit in length, while size L is nearly double my width. Unfortunately, I had to return it.

Fantastic jacket. Size M was perfect for a height of 181 cm and weight of 83 kg. Shipping is always fast from this store, and returns are handled effortlessly. It's a pity that there isn't just one black version instead of two shades. The cut is timeless. I also have the M-65 from "Brandit" in dark camo. There's something interesting for everyone here. I recommend this jacket for fall, spring, and mild winters.

The jacket is very well made. The material feels solid. I think it will last for a long time. The large number of pockets makes it easy to organize everything, for example when traveling.

Great jacket, more suitable for city use due to its cut, but it will also work for a trip to the woods. It has a lot of well-designed pockets and is made from amazing material.

An exceptional everyday jacket. The pockets are very well designed. The fit is fantastic. The materials are very durable and the color does not fade. I definitely recommend it.

As always, the service and shipping from militaria.pl are top-notch – I ordered the jacket yesterday, and it arrived today. I am 180 cm tall and weigh 75 kg; size M fits perfectly. In case of frost, even a down jacket can fit underneath as extra insulation. The workmanship is impeccable. After longer use, I will share my opinion about durability, but I expect, as with Helikon products, that everything will be fine.

Great jacket, a very practical version of the classic M65. Helikon knows how to refresh a classic. The cut and the number of pockets are spot on. Extra points for the hidden hood. I recommend it!

I've had this jacket for a long time and I'm very satisfied. After many washes, the color hasn't changed, and the material still looks like new—no signs of pilling. The pockets are simply genius, both in number and arrangement.

Unfortunately, the jacket was not well fitted – the size did not match. The workmanship and materials themselves are at a good level, but on me, it looked like a dangling bat. Apart from that, I have no other objections.

The jacket looks very good. The number of pockets should satisfy even people who carry a lot of things. For winter use, a fleece will be helpful. I haven't had a chance to check its water resistance yet. I definitely recommend it.

Very good jacket. Size M turned out to be a perfect fit for me at 184 cm height and 89 kg weight. The downside is that you can't try it on in the store, but for club members, shipping is free anyway.

First impressions are very positive. The jacket is great, has lots of pockets, and a nice style. The sizing runs large, but after exchanging for a smaller one it fits perfectly. I recommend it.

Iconic jacket. The M65 is a classic that almost everyone knows, it is very stylish and matches everything. Additionally, it has a good ventilation system and great material. I recommend it.
