Great material and stitching quality. It insulates heat perfectly, and the pocket arrangement is perfect – congratulations to Helikon. Size M fits perfectly for 180 cm height and 100 cm chest circumference.
Helikon Patriot MK2 Hybrid Fleece - Coyote
The Fleece hoodie in Coyote offers excellent thermal insulation even at extremely low temperatures. Efficient heat and moisture management is also achieved. With the use of Hybrid Fleece dual-layer fabric, which possesses different properties, it provides high thermal protection while maintaining a lightweight design.
340 g/m2 grammage, reinforced sleeves
The outer layer boasts thick fleece with a density of 340 g/m2, while the interior is lined with Grid Fleece mesh-structured fabric to enhance comfort and promote air flow. Underarm zippered vents provide additional ventilation. Elastic bands on the cuffs adjust to the wrists to improve the hoodie's seal.
Zipper, extended cut, roomy hood
The sweatshirt is fastened with a two-way zipper. The back part is slightly elongated to protect the lower back from the wind. The cut provides unobstructed access to pockets and equipment carried on the waistband of the pants. The hood of the sweatshirt is spacious enough to wear over a head already protected by a cap. The soft visor protects the wearer from water dripping directly onto the face. The hood is sewn to the collar in such a way that the lining does not expose the neck. In this way, the wearer is protected from the wind in particularly sensitive areas. Soft Velcro panels have been sewn onto the shoulder pockets to allow the attachment of patches or emblems. Laser-cut panels with special grommets allow carrying additional accessories, such as tactical pens or small flashlights.

I think this is probably the nicest Helikon fleece – it fits great, the pockets are functionally placed, and it really keeps you warm. You can often catch it on sale, so the price is attractive.
-
Good outdoor jacket for walking in cold weather. The multiple pockets are very useful and well placed. Comfortable to wear and warm, it effectively blocks the cold. The zippered openings under the arms are a plus for venting sweat.
-
It works perfectly on colder days. It is very warm, practical, and made from a pleasant material. The hood is a great addition and, in my opinion, is better than the version without a hood. I wholeheartedly recommend this purchase.
-
The fleece has perfect thickness – it does not restrict movement and works great as a second layer under a jacket. It is very breathable, which helps with moisture wicking during activity, though for some this may be both an advantage and a disadvantage. The lack of Velcro on the cuffs is a plus, and the smaller hood fits well with a climbing helmet. The large number of pockets increases practicality, and the extra ventilation on the sleeves is a big benefit. The carefully finished interior shows attention to detail and makes the product present high quality appropriate to its price. Fast shipping and efficient return handling allowed me to try different sizes and colors, which made me fully satisfied with my purchase.
-
The fleece is comfortable and has practically arranged pockets. The downside is the zipper, which can be difficult to fasten – this problem also occurs with a friend who has a smaller size. I have another fleece from the same brand, with a zipper that fastens from the bottom, and in that model this problem doesn't occur.
-
This is a fleece sweatshirt, a revelation for me. The cut fits well, it has an extended back, long sleeves, a high collar, and very pleasant material. At my height of 174 cm and 83 kg, size M is great - it fits well and is not too tight. I also have the Patriot in the classic version - it's more of a fleece jacket than just a sweatshirt. It's almost indestructible, except for the Velcro, but it has short sleeves and a very wide cut, which I don't quite like. It's more suitable as an outer layer for intensive use. However, the MK2 is a light, ordinary fleece sweatshirt. These are two completely different products, not just different versions of the same one.
-
Polar works great both during various outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, or working outside, as well as for everyday use. It's worth waiting for a promotion, as you can find a good deal. I have no complaints.
-
I used the MK1 for three years, then I bought the MK2 and unfortunately after two months of use, the drawstring on the hood broke. Additionally, the main zipper is difficult to use. The pockets are made of mesh rather than solid material like in the MK1, and the price is higher despite the reduced quality.
-
Mega service Mega jacket Super satisfied Great jacket, thank you very much Highly recommend I am a big fan of Helikon Tex. I already have several items from this brand and I am always satisfied. Please keep it up...
-
The fleece is made of high-quality material. The fabric is more elastic than in the Patriot model, which makes it fit the body better. It’s quite long, but while the Patriot in size XS was fine, the MK2 model in size M turned out to be the best, providing a bit of freedom. Very comfortable and warm fleece. I hope the zippers will last.
-
The Polar is characterized by very good quality. The second edition of the Patriot model fits better and the material is no longer so stiff. The jacket is quite long. I usually wear size XS in the standard version, but with this model, M fit me. The color is nice, the zipper actually seems weaker, but I hope it will be durable.
-
I'll say this: I tend to get cold easily, so in freezing weather I'd look for something warmer or wear more layers, but at around 5 degrees in the forest with moderate activity, this fleece along with a thermal shirt and possibly a jacket (without insulation) worked great. Highly recommend for such conditions.
-
The fleece provides a pleasant warmth during autumn temperatures. It has plenty of pockets. Unfortunately, in my case, the main zipper can get stuck, and you have to hold the material inside firmly to lower it.
-
The fleece is indeed thinner and lighter than the previous model. I haven't had a chance to check if there's a real difference in warmth yet. The inside of the sleeves is finished in a grid pattern – similar to the Alpha model. The previous version had a looser fit, whereas the Mk2 is more fitted – in my opinion, that's an advantage. The Tiger Stripe camouflage looks fantastic in person.
