Woodland camouflage
Woodland, also known as U.S. Woodland or M81, is a classic camouflage pattern introduced to the US Armed Forces in the early 1980s, based on the earlier ERDL camouflage. For over two decades, it remained the standard pattern used by the US military until the end of the first decade of the 21st century. It is characterized by large, irregular patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, which provide good camouflage and deformation properties, especially in wooded areas. Thanks to its effectiveness and global recognition, it has spawned numerous variations that have found their way into over 60 uniform formations around the world. The pattern has also had a huge impact on popular culture, shifting from military applications to everyday fashion.

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!

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.
