Functional, well-made, and well-tailored. The material is also of high quality. It is mainly suitable for urban use. I can recommend it, although the velcro panels slightly diminish its overall impression.
Warm urban tactical hoodie, maintained in a military style. A significant number of functional pockets and a comfortable fit make it ideal for everyday use. Made of durable polyester, which dries faster than cotton and provides proper ventilation. The adjustable hood with a drawstring keeps out cold, wind, and rain. The hoodie features a YKK zipper closure.
The hoodie has ten functionally placed pockets:
- two large, classic ones with an additional small pocket with a closure for small items in each,
- shoulder pockets with YKK zipper closures,
- chest pockets with YKK zipper closures,
- two open inner pockets.
All pockets are made from durable Rip-Stop material, resistant to abrasions and tears.
The sleeves are equipped with velcro panels, allowing the attachment of various emblems, such as a flag, emblem, or Morale Patches, adding a personal style to the hoodie.
Elastic cuffs on the sleeves and at the bottom of the hoodie ensure a comfortable temperature under the hoodie. The main high closure zipper forms a collar that protects the neck from unfavorable weather.

Woodland camouflage
Woodland, also known as US Woodland or M81, is a well-known camouflage pattern introduced to the U.S. Army in the early 1980s based on the earlier ERDL. For over two decades, it was the standard pattern in the US military until the end of the first decade of the 21st century. It is characterized by large, irregular patches in green, brown, beige, and black colors, which provide excellent camouflaging and deforming properties, especially in forested areas. Due to its effectiveness and recognizability, this pattern has numerous variations used by over 60 military formations worldwide and has had a significant impact on pop culture, transitioning from military to everyday fashion.

Very good sweatshirt. It's solid, has many pockets, and the material is thick, but it's not the warmest. I use it in the winter in the forest as an outer layer over a t-shirt and a light merino fleece – it works great. I have trouble with sizing: S was too tight and restricted movement, while M is already loose. Despite this, I definitely recommend it.
-
A stylish sweatshirt, I bought it during a sale in the camo black version. Definitely worth its price on promotion. Very well made, no loose threads. The zippers are durable like military ones. As for the size—I am 180 cm tall and weigh about 100 kg (my body build is more like a strongman than a bodybuilder). Size L fits me perfectly, as if it was tailored just for me. The sweatshirt is not tight nor too loose. It is warm, with a thin layer of fleece inside at chest level. You can easily wear it without a jacket on cooler autumn and spring days. Lots of practical pockets. I recommend this product! I am considering buying it in another color because it really is great.

The jacket in black camo shade looks great. The material is very pleasant. It has many pockets, a large hood, and an additional advantage are the Velcro patch panels and high collar. It will be perfect for cooler days. Huge plus for the sizing consistency with previous Helikon models – XL fits perfectly. Unfortunately, the new Helikon lines do not suit my body shape.
-
At first, I wasn’t convinced about this hoodie, but after buying it, I completely changed my mind. It's an urban tactical style garment—a bit civilian, a bit military. You just put it on and go. In the multicam black version, it looks great.

The hoodie is great. I hesitated for a long time before buying, because I already have Helikon fleeces and other TopCool hoodies. This hoodie is a golden mean—warmer than a typical tactical hoodie but not as thick as a fleece, making it perfect for the current 10°C weather outside. Plus, it looks better than in the photos—solidly made, great pockets, and a very well-made hood—it doesn't droop, but fits nicely on the neck and adds +5 to the look. Very comfortable, practical, well-designed, and warm. If you already have your Helikon size (XL for me), you can safely pick the same—it will fit with a jacket, hoodie, fleece or t-shirt. What more could you want? Highly recommended!

Everything is as described. Size L. For me: 186 cm tall, 75 kg, chest around 100 cm. In my opinion, the side pockets could have zippers. It looks better in the pictures, but I still recommend it. Very fast delivery, even to me.
-
At first glance, the sweatshirt is fine, but the 3XL size was supposed to be 86 cm long, and it actually measures just under 80 cm, which makes a big difference with my height of 2 meters.
-
Great hoodie from Helikon, as always I'm satisfied with their products. Very well made, lots of pockets, and an interesting camouflage pattern. I definitely recommend it with confidence. The XXL size fits perfectly for someone who is 190 cm tall.
-
The black camo hoodie looks fantastic. Comfortable material and lots of pockets. Plus, there's a place for Velcro patches and a stand-up collar—great for cooler days. I'm 178 cm and 78 kg, size L could be a little smaller.
-
I was certain that if Helikon creates something, it will be impeccable. The sweatshirt is made of high-quality materials, solid stitching, and lots of pockets. Great look. I am very satisfied with the purchase on militaria.pl.
-
The hoodie is very comfortable, warm, and pleasant to wear. Color is a big plus. Brilliant idea with the inside pockets. The shipment is always very fast, but that's the standard now.

A very versatile, warm sweatshirt with spacious pockets and a comfortable hood. The color is elegant, and the zippers work very well. I am delighted with my purchase and the fast shipping.
