The coat is lightweight and compact, and comes with a storage bag. Initially, I had some doubts about its thermal properties due to the thin material, but I was pleasantly surprised. It fits the body very well, provides a lot of warmth, and looks very good. As described, it is waterproof. Combined with a Helikon-Tex fleece, it works even during the coldest frosts—I sincerely recommend it to people who get cold quickly!
Women's hooded jacket offers excellent protection from cold, wind, and light rain. Constructed from Windpack nylon with a dense weave and a Teflon coating that repels moisture, this jacket ensures durability and water resistance. It features high-quality synthetic Climashield Apex insulation, which maintains warmth even when fully wet, and boasts lightweight and compressible properties.
The jacket is equipped with two traditional hip pockets, lined with fleece to keep hands warm. A zippered chest pocket is ideal for storing documents or a phone, and an interior pocket is also included.
Elastic piping at the bottom, cuffs, and hood edge offers superior wind protection. Durable YKK zippers secure the jacket, and a 9x11 cm velcro panel on the shoulder allows for attaching patches, such as national flags, unit emblems, or Morale Patches.
The Wolfhound jacket is extremely lightweight and compressible. It can be packed into a small pouch without compromising its features. Suitable as both a primary jacket and a supplementary warming layer.

Camouflage Desert Night Camo
Desert Night Camo (DNC) emerges as a unique camouflage pattern crafted by the US Army in the 1980s for nighttime operations within desert terrains. Intended to be worn over other uniforms, its primary use was during Operation Desert Storm in the Persian Gulf. The pattern is characterized by a grid-like design of dark green squares and crosses set against an olive-green backdrop. Its principal aim was to disrupt early generations of adversary night vision technology. Although its effectiveness in reducing visibility in night vision devices was moderate, it represented an innovative approach to nighttime camouflage.

The jacket is warm and practical, but it has a major flaw – although it fits well in the chest, it is very tight in the hips. It's a shame that the size chart only provides the chest measurement and does not include hip dimensions.
-
When choosing, I was guided by the desire to support Polish brands and good quality. This is my first purchase from Helikon, but definitely not the last. The jacket has an excellent cut for women, fits great, is lightweight, and at the same time warm. I highly recommend it.

The jacket is warm, lightweight, easy to pack and compress. It looks comfortable, although I ordered too small a size, so I'm exchanging it for a larger one. Since I already have the men's version, I know it works great for cool forest walks. The camouflage has an interesting pattern.

The jacket works perfectly as a layer under the military Gore-Tex from MON. It's lightweight, takes up little space in the backpack thanks to the included pouch, so it's very convenient to transport. Despite its thin appearance, it insulates heat very well and blocks the wind. I recommend buying it.

This is the best jacket I've had! It's warm, very lightweight, and when packed, it doesn't take up much space. Perfect for the forest, fishing, or Nordic walking, and it also works well for cycling on cooler days. I used it in above-freezing temperatures, but I think with proper layering and merino underwear, it's also suitable for light frost. However, I wouldn't recommend it for rain. Other than that, it works great.

The color is amazing. The sizing is spot on. My wife is happy and looks great in it. As for the weight, it's incredible – the jacket is almost unnoticeable. I plan to buy the men's version for myself. I recommend it!

A very lightweight and comfortable jacket, yet it provides a lot of warmth—in combination with a fleece or another layer, it's enough even for temperatures near freezing. It thoroughly protects the lower back, and its length is perfect. Standard size—I usually wear M, and it fits well.
-
I tested the jacket all day in changing conditions: sometimes it rained, sometimes it was dry. Everything written in the product description is accurate. The jacket protects very well even from heavy rain and dries quickly. Once packed in the included pouch, it's really small and easy to fit in. It's surprisingly wind-resistant for such a thin material, and it actually provides warmth, which I appreciate as someone who gets cold easily. The size also corresponds to what's stated in the description. Definitely worth buying.

The jacket is incredibly lightweight and works great in winter. I used it during a mountain trip, and one of its advantages is that it fits in a backpack.
