This is my first Helikon sweatshirt and I was pleasantly surprised – it's warm and fits well. However, I had to exchange it for a larger size, which often happens when shopping online. I'm curious to see how it will perform with daily use. I chose size L for a height of 178 cm and weight of 78 kg. I recommend the purchase.
Cozy year-round hoodie with a YKK zipper closure.
The hoodie’s design encourages ease of movement and provides great ventilation beneath the garment. The spacious hood offers protection against cold, wind, and rain.
There are 6 pockets on the hoodie:
- two traditional hip pockets,
- a secret zippered pocket inside the right pocket,
- two interior mesh pockets,
- a smaller pocket on the left shoulder.
Additionally, there is an 11 x 9 cm velcro panel on the left sleeve, perfect for attaching emblems like national flags, unit insignia, or Morale Patches to personalize the hoodie.
Elastic welts ensure warmth under the hoodie, while the high zipper closure forms a collar that shields the neck and face from harsh weather.

I highly recommend this product to everyone.

This is already my next sweatshirt in the Green shade from this line. I think it’s great – very comfortable, warm, and made with attention to detail. The inner pockets are very practically placed. I highly recommend it. Shipping was, as always, express.

I really like the sweatshirt, it's warm and fully meets my expectations. The pockets are practical, and the zipper in the inner pocket is a great solution. I will gladly choose this product again. The store service was exemplary, and the package arrived the very next day after placing the order.

The hoodie is perfect. Very well made, high-quality material, after a few days it seems durable for everyday use. It is also functional.
-
It's a great sweatshirt – warm, pleasant to the touch and has plenty of pockets, which is a huge plus when traveling. Perfect for cooler days and doesn't restrict movement. Ideal for spring and autumn.
-
Warm and comfortable sweatshirt in great colors and an excellent material, with numerous pockets and space for a patch. The hood isn’t too deep, perfect size – sleeves are fitted, the bottom is a bit longer, but can be slightly rolled up.
-
Excellent sweatshirt, pleasant material, lots of pockets but they don't stand out. Helikon sizing is as usual spot on – I chose XL and it fits perfectly as always. In summary, I give it 5 out of 5. I recommend it!
-
I bought the first one a long time ago—over time, the sleeves wore out from the desk and washing, but after so many years, I decided to order two more. I hope they will be just as good as the previous one.
-
Very high quality and extremely warm hoodie. The number of pockets, as expected from Helikon, is an advantage. Super durable and solid, worth its price, it has never let me down. I recommend it to everyone.
-
After a year of wearing, the color faded a bit at the bottom of the sweatshirt near the zipper – and it cost 200 PLN. Other than that, the sweatshirt is really good: lots of pockets and very soft fabric.
-
The sweatshirt works great for everyday wear and on trips. It has a lot of pockets, is available in many colors, so everyone can find something for themselves. The cut is looser.
-
Great sweatshirt for cool evenings. The material does not distract at the shooting range, is solid, and does not fade after washing. Very comfortable, with an extra zippered pocket on the sleeve.
