The jacket is very well made and feels very durable, and its thermal properties really keep warmth in. I usually bought size L for my height of 182 cm, but this time size M fits perfectly, even with a thick sweatshirt underneath. A big advantage is its length – it covers the kidneys and lower back, and the high hood protects effectively against the wind. The jacket is well thought out, durable, and I definitely recommend it!

It has a high collar with a chin guard, mounting loops, and functional pockets for better organization. Perfect for long hikes and everyday use.
Climashield Apex filling, Duracanvas material
The outer shell is made of Duracanvas fabric with a weight of 230 g/m2, which can be wax-impregnated to improve protection against rain and moisture as well as abrasion resistance. The insulation consists of high-quality synthetic Climashield Apex insulation with a grammage of 67g/m2, ensuring effective cold protection even when wet. It is also characterized by lightness and good compression properties.

The jacket has 8 practical pockets:

- one zippered internal pocket on the chest
All external pockets are zippered with YKK zippers. Below the chest pockets are paracord handles that allow for attaching small gear, preventing loss.
Two-way YKK zipper, ventilation openings
The main closure is a two-way zipper from YKK. The stand-up collar has a fabric guard protecting the chin from being pinched by the zipper. There are ventilation openings under the arms with mesh-finished zippers, increasing breathability and thermal comfort.
adjustable hood, high collar, adjustable cuffs
High collar enhances comfort during rain and wind. The hood is equipped with a 3-point adjustment system that allows precise fitting to the shape of the head and current weather conditions. Two drawstrings at the waist and bottom of the jacket allow for adjusting the circumference, preventing drafts. Cuffs adjustable with velcro and drawstrings in the hood and at the bottom of the jacket provide additional protection against the cold.
Velcro panel on the sleeve, Molle loops
On the left sleeve, there is a velcro panel measuring 11 x 8.5 cm, allowing the attachment of various emblems – such as a national flag, unit insignia, or so-called Morale Patches – giving the jacket a personalized appearance.

A... Review confirmed by purchase
Overall, the jacket met my expectations – solid material, careful workmanship, and it looks good for everyday use. I mainly kept it with the intention of accounting for business expenses. However, it’s worth mentioning a few important points. In my opinion, the price is inflated – I wouldn’t pay more than 350–400 PLN for this jacket. I wouldn’t buy it again at this price because it’s not worth that much. It’s warm, though not exceptionally so – sufficient for daily wear or going to work. However, it’s not suitable for standing for long periods in severe cold. This is not a jacket intended for prolonged stay in low temperatures. To sum up: a solid and durable jacket, but in my opinion, the price is too high and the thermal insulation is only good, not outstanding. Ideal for walking, but not for standing in harsh frost.

Very good jacket, I am 178 cm tall and have a 112 cm chest. Size M fits perfectly, leaving room for a fleece or sweatshirt. I also tried size S, but it was too tight. So I chose M. The jacket works well at temperatures down to around -5°C if you’re moving – then it’s warm even with just a T-shirt. However, if you stand in one place for a long time, it starts to feel chilly. Indeed, as others mentioned, there is a slight coolness in the sleeves. I recommend securing the vent drawstrings well, for example, by sewing them on—two of mine were lost within two days :D I haven't waxed the jacket yet, but I’ll probably do it after the first wash. A big plus is the ability to fully zip up and tighten the hood, which protects well against wind and rain and improves thermal comfort. My overall rating is 4.99/5—I only subtract a little for the vent drawstrings :P

I have used many outdoor jackets - this jacket is my absolute favorite - it is of absolutely high quality and functional - and on top of that, it also looks very good. It is very well thought out for outdoor activities - keeps you warm and stands up to rain well - additionally, it can be waxed. Absolute buy recommendation.

Very good jacket – it fits great after choosing the right size (I am 176 cm tall, I wear M). It is warm, lightweight, and has functional pocket arrangement. The material is pleasant to the touch. I have been using it for a few days and I can recommend it to everyone.

Great jacket, very well made. The fabric also seems to be durable. I chose the black one in size S, I am 176 cm tall and weigh 76 kg – it fits perfectly. I think XS would fit me too, but it’s better to have a bit of room for warmer clothes underneath. I definitely recommend the product and the seller. The shipment, as always, was very fast.
-
The jacket is excellent, as is usually the case with Helikon – everything is well thought out, everything in its place, and the workmanship is perfect. As usual, I buy size M from Helikon for my height of 182 cm – the jacket fits great, even when I wear a thicker sweatshirt underneath, there's still some room. The jacket is not the cheapest, but I believe that with proper care, it will last for many years.
-
I bought the jacket in size XL, I weigh 103 kg and I'm 180 cm tall. I have a slight overweight, yet the jacket fits perfectly. The workmanship and comfort are at a high level. It's very warm – at 0 degrees it's enough to wear just a T-shirt underneath. I definitely recommend it.

I've been using Helikon gear for quite some time now – including their pants, fleeces, and thermal clothing... The jacket serves as a truly solid protection against the cold and fits the body really well. I usually choose size XL, but this time I went for XXL to be able to comfortably wear something like a fleece or sweatshirt underneath, so I've got a bit of room... I'm not sure if I might have overdone it ;) In my opinion, this is money very well spent and definitely premium quality!

The jacket is made of very high-quality materials. Admittedly, I haven't had the opportunity to test its thermal properties in low temperatures yet, but I believe it will provide adequate comfort. I had some doubts about the size. I decided to go with XL, even though I wear size L in other Helikon jackets (Pilgrim anorak and M65 covert). Size L would probably fit me as well, but then there would not be enough room, which is important in a winter jacket. In summary, I highly recommend this product!
-
The jacket is designed for everyday wear, especially with bushcraft use in mind, which is exactly why I bought it. The construction is very well thought out, with many practical and unique features. It is made very solidly from high-quality materials. I definitely recommend this product and the Militaria.pl store.
