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 providing effective protection against cold, wind and light rain. The outer layer is made of Windpack nylon dense weave and coated with a Teflon layer that repels moisture. Insulation is provided by a high-quality synthetic Climashield Apex fill that protects from the cold, even when completely soaked. The insulation also features lightweight and good compression properties.
The model features two classic hip pockets, which are lined with fleece to protect hands from the cold. The zippered chest pocket is great for carrying documents or a phone. The model also has one interior pocket.
Effective protection against the wind is provided by elastic piping at the bottom of the jacket, at the cuffs and at the edge of the hood. The jacket is fastened with durable YKK zippers. On the shoulder there is a 9x11 cm velcro panel allowing to attach any patch or emblem such as a national flag, unit emblem or so-called Morale Patches.
Wolfhound jacket is very lightweight and easily compressible. It can be packed into a small pouch without any danger to its properties. It will work well both as a main jacket and as an additional warming layer.

Camouflage Tiger Stripe
Tiger Stripe is a series of camouflage patterns that originated in Southeast Asia, with the most renowned version being the one developed in the Republic of Vietnam. This design draws inspiration from the French Lizard pattern, specifically modified for tropical environments. Tiger Stripe features irregular, brushstroke-like stripes in shades of green and brown, accompanied by broader, grayish lines on an olive or khaki background. This configuration is particularly effective in dense jungles and tropical forests, where it conceals the silhouette among low and medium vegetation. The camouflage hinders detection at close range and facilitates blending into the dynamic, shaded vegetation background. The name "Tiger Stripe" refers to the striped coat of tigers, as the pattern mimics the natural striped coloration, suitable for breaking up contours in lush greenery conditions.

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.
