Warm, soft, zippered sweatshirt fleece with a spacious hood with visor. The 380 g/m2 material provides thermal insulation for even the most severe frosts, enabling the simultaneous removal of excess heat and moisture (sweat) released during exercise. Increased breathability and thermal exchange with the environment is facilitated by underarm vents, closed by zippers. The opening and closing directions of the zippers are chosen so that the owner will have no trouble operating them independently.
Thanks to the roomy cut a thinner sweatshirt can be worn under the sweatshirt, but even a bulletproof vest will fit. The rear part is slightly elongated to protect the kidneys from being blown up, but the whole jacket is quite short - mainly to provide unobstructed access to pockets and equipment carried on the belt of the pants.
The jacket has six pockets:
- two chest ones closed with zippers,
- two on the sleeves at shoulder height,
- one on the left sleeve above the wrist,
- one so-called poaching - on the back under the cross with two independent accesses - from the right and left side.
The shoulder pockets have soft Velcro (Velcro), allowing you to attach a properly prepared patch.
The hood is voluminous so that it can be worn over a head already protected by a cap. It has a soft visor to protect the wearer from water runoff directly on the face. The hood is sewn to the collar in such a way that the lining does not expose the neck. As a result, particularly sensitive areas are protected from wind and cold.
The sleeves from wrist to elbow have been reinforced with strong material, while the elastic cuffs have been replaced with a velcro fastening patch, allowing the size to be adjusted depending on the thickness of the wrist, as well as whether the wearer is also wearing gloves or, for example, a watch.
In order to protect the body from hypothermia due to airing or getting wet, ECWCS clothing should be used.

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!
