I am very satisfied with this jacket. I bought it for my wife a year ago and she was thrilled, so I decided to get one for myself now since I don’t use typical winter clothes. I chose the Tiger Stripe color, which looked interesting in the pictures even though I usually dress in black. In person, it looks great. I’m glad the promotion convinced me to buy it. Size XL fits perfectly for my height of 176 cm and 95 kg with a slight belly – a sweatshirt fits under the jacket and nothing feels tight. The jacket is very comfortable. The material is new to me, I’ll have to get used to it, but my wife says it’ll be my favorite winter jacket. I honestly recommend it.
Helikon's lightweight hooded jacket offers excellent protection against cold, wind, and light rain. It features four practical pockets: two standard hip pockets, an external chest pocket, and an internal pocket. All are secured with durable YKK zippers.
The outer shell is made of Windpack nylon fabric, treated with moisture-resistant Teflon. Its insulation is premium Climashield Apex synthetic fill, ensuring superior warmth even when fully wet. The insulation is also lightweight and compressible. Underarm inserts of elastic and breathable VersaStretch material enhance the jacket's comfort.
Elastic bindings at the hem, cuffs, and hood edge effectively shield against the wind. A velcro panel on the arm allows for attaching patches or emblems, such as national flags, unit emblems, or Morale Patches.
The Wolfhound jacket is lightweight and easy to compress, packing into a small pouch, suitable for both extended trips and everyday wear.

Kamuflaż Tiger Stripe
Tiger Stripe refers to a family of camouflage designs that originated in Southeast Asia, with the most renowned version developed in the Republic of Vietnam. Its pattern takes inspiration from the French Lizard design, modified for tropical environments. Tiger Stripe features irregular, brushstroke-like stripes in shades of green and brown, accompanied by wider, grayish lines set against an olive or khaki background. This configuration is particularly effective in dense jungles and tropical forests, providing excellent concealment within low to medium vegetation. It makes detection challenging at close quarters, allowing seamless integration within dynamic, shaded vegetation backgrounds. The term "Tiger Stripe" draws a parallel to a tiger's coat, as the pattern mimics the natural striping, making it highly effective for disrupting outlines amidst thick greenery.

The jacket turned out to be quite thin, which initially disappointed me a bit, especially considering it is from the winter jacket segment. Generally, though, I am satisfied with it – in my opinion, it is better suited for autumn and milder winters than for severe frosts. It is extremely light, easy to pack, and doesn't take up much space. Despite being thin, it performs really well in the current mild Polish winters. For example, at today's 10°C, wearing a hoodie underneath and being active, I actually started to sweat – which confirms that the jacket insulates well against the cold but doesn't overheat. Overall, it's a successful purchase, and I can recommend this product, although keep in mind that if someone expects a very warm winter jacket for this price, they might be disappointed – the jacket simply isn't suited for harsh frosts. For an average Polish winter, however, it's sufficient and works well for me.

Very good jacket. It's lightweight, easy to pack, and yet keeps you warm. It's perfectly sufficient for Polish winters in recent years. At -10 degrees, if you wear something warm underneath, it provides comfort. Unfortunately, it doesn't protect against rain, but it works fine in light drizzle or snow. On the plus side, it breathes very well. I definitely recommend it!

This is already my second Wolfhound. The first one, in classic Camogrom, I've had for five years and even though I didn't take care of it, the jacket still does its job perfectly — there are no abrasions and it's still very warm. I bought the second one only because it became available in Woodland. Great product, I highly recommend it.

For over a year, I was considering buying this jacket, but its price discouraged me because it seemed too high for such a thin piece of clothing. Ultimately, a promotion and KSK points convinced me to make the purchase. At first, I chose size L, which fit, but wasn't completely comfortable because of my belly. I decided on XL, which turned out to be much looser and leaves room for an extra layer, like a fleece. The jacket is really light, comfortable, and considering its thickness, it holds warmth very well—thanks to the insulation and windproof outer layer. Unfortunately, you'll still need a rain poncho for wet weather (I choose one in the same Tramontane camouflage). The jacket handles drizzle just fine, but with heavier rain it soaks through. The biggest advantages are the compact size when packed and its lightness—that's exactly why I chose it.

Very good jacket, exceptionally lightweight, and equally important, it can be quickly packed into a pouch, so it's easy to carry with you. The price may seem high, but you have to pay for high quality. I definitely recommend it.
