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.
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.

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!
-
A product worth its price – the fleece is sturdy, provides warmth and practicality during colder days, and insulates well against the wind. The comfortable and numerous pockets are a big advantage, while the hood, high collar, adjustable cuffs, and elbow reinforcements increase its functionality. It works great both for everyday use and during trips in more challenging conditions. The cut and craftsmanship are more oriented toward practicality than appearance. If you care about warmth, comfort, and functionality, this fleece will be a perfect choice. However, for those looking for something lighter and more elegant, it might be too bulky and "workmanlike."

My height is 182 cm, weight is 75 kg, and I ordered size S Regular. Overall, the quality is just amazing! The fleece and other materials feel very pleasant to the touch. However, regarding the size, I can say that a size M would probably fit me better. In this size (S), the clothing fits perfectly, centimeter by centimeter, but since I planned to wear another sweater under this fleece, there isn’t enough space for layering. I recommend taking this nuance into account when choosing a size if you plan to wear the fleece over other warm clothes.

I bought the Polar mainly encouraged by positive reviews! I usually agree with previous reviews, but I'm a bit annoyed by the placement of the hand pockets – in my opinion, they are too high! I'd prefer them to be located lower, not on the chest. It's not very practical and you always have to remember gloves, because walking with your hands in pockets placed that high is not comfortable. So, during colder days, it's worth having gloves with you. I'm almost 190 cm tall and have a chest circumference of 118 cm – size XXL fits me very well. The store and order processing – as always, great!
-
It's a bit heavy, but it keeps you very warm. The hood provides great protection for both the head and neck. The jacket will work well on cold days. It has many functional and spacious pockets. I definitely recommend it!

I am a woman, I am 157 cm tall and weigh 59 kg, and I chose size XS. I work in a vineyard and the jacket's material doesn't snag at all. The jacket keeps me warm, and I really like the number of pockets it has. I am delighted with it!

I am a woman, 1m57 tall and 59kg, and I took size XS. I work in the vineyards, and yet nothing gets caught in the fabric. It is warm and the many pockets are really great. I love it!!
-
I waited over a year for the "shadow grey" color and finally I could replace my five-year-old black "Patriot" with this version :). My previous fleece still serves me well. Great product at a reasonable price. I'm very glad that the older Patriot model is still available, because it really is excellent.

Saw it, ordered it... Top price-performance ratio. I am 181 cm tall, athletic and fit, sturdy and 100kg. Size XL fits perfectly at the shoulders, arms, and total length. Olive color looks great. The jacket has thick, soft fleece; the zippers are sturdy and the jacket is very stylish. I searched for a long time and found the best jacket at this price. Also perfect for frosty winter days. Friends have bought it too. The store is great anyway... fast shipping and secure. Payment as well.
