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.
A lightweight jacket equipped with a hood that offers effective protection against cold, wind, and light rain. It includes four convenient pockets: two traditional hip pockets, one chest pocket on the outside, and one on the inside. Each pocket is secured with robust YKK zippers.
The exterior material is made from Windpack nylon fabric, treated with moisture-resistant Teflon. The insulation consists of a premium synthetic filling known as Climashield Apex, providing outstanding cold protection even when fully wet. The insulation is also lightweight with excellent compressibility. Under the arms, VersaStretch material, both elastic and breathable, enhances the jacket's comfort.
Elastic binding at the hem, cuffs, and hood edge effectively guards against drafts. A velcro panel is sewn onto the arm, allowing the attachment of various patches or emblems like national flags, unit insignias, or Morale Patches.
The Wolfhound jacket is lightweight and highly compressible, allowing it to be packed into a small pouch. It is suitable for both extended trips and everyday wear.

Camouflage Woodland
Woodland, often referred to as U.S. Woodland or M81, is an iconic camouflage pattern first adopted by the US Armed Forces in the early 1980s, drawing inspiration from the earlier ERDL camouflage. This pattern was the standard for the US military for more than twenty years, until the close of the first decade of the new millennium. It features large, irregular patches in various hues of green, brown, beige, and black, which offer excellent camouflage and concealment, particularly in forested environments. Due to its effectiveness and worldwide recognition, it has given rise to numerous variants that have been incorporated into over 60 military uniforms globally. The pattern's significant influence on popular culture can be seen as it transitioned from purely military use to becoming a staple in everyday fashion.

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.
