Helikon Patriot Fleece - Olive Green
The Olive Green fleece jacket, complete with a zip closure, provides efficient thermal insulation in cooler conditions while facilitating the escape of excess heat and moisture created during strenuous activity. The Helikon Patriot model is crafted from high-density fleece with a weight of 380 g/m2. Its roomy design accommodates additional layers underneath, such as lighter sweatshirts or thermal clothing. The slightly extended back area effectively protects the kidney region from wind, while the jacket's length is optimized to allow easy access to pockets and gear worn on the belt.
Breathable fleece
The fleece consists of 100% quick-drying polyester with a density of 380 g/m2, offering excellent thermal insulation and efficient airflow. These qualities ensure the fabric quickly draws moisture away, keeping the body warm. Known for its toughness and resistance to wear and tear, the fabric is ideal for challenging conditions like hiking or tactical missions. Reinforced elbows enhance resistance against abrasion and intensive use.
Adjustable hood
A spacious, enclosed hood effectively protects against cold and wind, allowing for the comfortable use of a winter hat while maintaining freedom of movement. The built-in soft brim safeguards the face from dripping water, enhancing comfort in unfavorable weather. Secured permanently to the collar, the hood provides complete neck protection when in use. Elastic drawcords offer adjustment, ensuring a precise fit to the head's shape and the user's current needs.
Roomy pockets
The jacket features six generous and meticulously crafted pockets:
- two pockets on the chest,
- two sleeve pockets positioned at shoulder level,
- one pocket on the left forearm,
- one pass-through pocket located at the back just above the hips.
All the pockets are secured by robust and dependable YKK zippers. These zippers are equipped with fabric pull tabs, facilitating easier use even when wearing bulky gloves. Inside the chest pockets, there is a section for a phone and cable openings, suitable for headphones.
Velcro panels, adjustable cuffs and elastic waistband
Both shoulders incorporate Velcro panels, perfect for affixing patches, unit insignia, or Morale Patches. The sleeves feature hook-and-loop cuffs that can be adjusted to ensure a precise fit around the wrists. An elastic drawcord at the jacket's lower section provides effective protection against cold drafts from below and aids in retaining warmth.

A warm and functional fleece, works well in various conditions, and is comfortable too. Very well made. The pocket arrangement could be better, but you can get used to it ;)
-
The Polar is excellent. At first, I planned to use it only during my military service, but it turned out to be so versatile and comfortable that I decided to wear it every day as well. It looks like I'll have to buy another one 😅. I spent a long time thinking about the purchase, but it turned out to be a great choice – top-quality. Initially, I was bothered by the lack of lower front pockets, but over time I got used to it and now it doesn't bother me anymore.
-
I bought the fleece as a gift, and according to the person who received it, it was a very good choice. The pros are solid craftsmanship and an extended back. The fleece heats well and doesn't get damaged during washing. The only downside is that it easily absorbs odors, but you can get rid of them quickly when washing. Rating 5/5.
-
The fleece looks excellent, has a perfect cut, appropriate weight, and practical pocket placement. The black contrasting accents look very impressive. Unfortunately, I had to return it due to a damaged zipper.
-
I now have two of them - in different colors - and they fit perfectly. Not too tight but also not too loose. You can easily wear a thick sweater underneath and still not feel restricted. Oh, and it also keeps you warm. Only the chest-level pockets are really a bit annoying.
-
I recommend this product. It matches the description. I wear the fleece every day and it keeps me very warm. It works well on cold days. The material is pleasant to the touch. Additionally, the large number of pockets is a plus. I recommend it.

Beautiful black fleece jacket, original in its design. In size M, an athletic person 178 cm, 95kg, 115 cm chest circumference... Will be well-fitted inside with another layer underneath (t-shirt + thin fleece). I 100% recommend Military for the quality of these clothes and their after-sales service.
-
Great material. The pockets are fine, the only drawback might be the lack of waist pockets. On the other hand, the chest pockets are quite spacious, which makes up for this minus. The velcro at the wrists works very well. Highly recommended.
-
It protects very well against the cold, especially on windy days. It worked great as a jacket at around minus 5 degrees, with only a t-shirt and shirt underneath. The pockets are spacious and sufficient to pack everything you need for a short trip, e.g. 15-20 kilometers. The material is pleasant to the touch.
-
The fleece is simply gorgeous and comfortable! High-quality tailoring, high-quality materials. It is very important to check the sizes in detail, I just took the M by eye, and it turned out to be really big, so you shouldn't take your usual size, be sure to check the size chart. So I made a return and the arrival really matched my size.

I've been using this fleece for quite some time during my daily activities, walks, and various outdoor pursuits. From the first time I put it on, it's clear that the material is high quality – soft, pleasant to the touch, and providing good comfort in terms of temperature. The fleece retains heat well while still preventing overheating, even during more intense activity. I really appreciate that the fabric breathes and dries quickly. The fit is comfortable and doesn't restrict movement, which is important when wearing it for extended periods. The seams are carefully finished, and the zipper works smoothly and without issues. The fleece works great as an outer layer on warmer days or as an additional layer under a jacket in winter. It's a functional and versatile wardrobe piece that can easily be used every day. I fully recommend it.
-
Excellent fleece. It is quite heavy, very thick, and really keeps you warm even in cold weather. The style is great and you can immediately feel the quality of Helikon. The XL fit suits me well, a bit fitted as is often the case with the brand, but comfortable. The only thing that could be improved is the hand pockets, which are placed a bit high, slightly reducing the ergonomics. Otherwise, it's a reliable, warm jacket and very pleasant to wear.
-
I wear the fleece almost every day and it works great. It’s cozy, comfortable, and extremely practical. The large number of pockets makes daily use much easier—everything is within arm’s reach. The product is well made, with no negative surprises.
-
Great fleece, extremely warm, and the hood really makes a difference! The only thing missing is side pockets, but despite that, it deserves a solid five! I especially recommend it for forest trips!
