Great jacket – it's lightweight and breathable. I use it during mountain hikes and cycling. When folded, it takes up little space in the backpack and dries quickly. You need to get used to putting it on over your head, but the two side zippers let you open it up and turn it into a poncho. I am 180 cm tall and weigh 90 kg – I chose size L, which gives me room for a thick fleece. Size M was too tight in the chest; you couldn't wear much underneath it.
Anorak-style jacket crafted as a part of the Helikon-Tex Bushcraft Line. The front features DuraCanvas fabric, which is spark and mechanical damage resistant. The back is constructed from flexible StormStretch fabric, ensuring freedom of movement. This jacket is windproof and breathable.
The Woodsman Anorak comes with convenient pockets, including a main "kangaroo" pocket with an internal organizer. There are also side pockets to keep your hands warm. Zippers on the sides allow you to unzip the jacket up to the armpits. These side zippers facilitate putting the jacket on and taking it off and can also be used for ventilation.
Additional features of the model include an adjustable hood with a visor, adjustable cuffs, and robust YKK zippers from the Japanese brand.

Very good anorak – both in terms of appearance and practicality. I chose size L for a height of about 177 cm and a weight of 85 kg – it fits perfectly and does not restrict freedom of movement. A fleece fits under it easily. I definitely recommend it.
-
Great jacket, size L easily fits a Helikon fleece underneath, which provides plenty of warmth. It protects excellently against the wind and works well in forested terrain because it is resistant to contact with branches. At first, the kangaroo pocket might seem strange, but it quickly becomes very practical. The side zippers make putting on the jacket much easier – you can feel like a musketeer in a cloak 😂 Highly recommend!
-
Great jacket. Very good material, careful stitching, practical pockets, and a brilliant idea with zippers on the sides. I haven't had a chance to test it in the rain yet, because since I bought it, there have only been heatwaves :) Highly recommend!

This opinion concerns size M. For a person 175 cm tall and 65 kg, with a slim figure, the Amorak fits perfectly. A Helikon fleece easily fits underneath, the sleeves are a perfect length – cycling is pure pleasure. The jacket fits well and does not restrict movement. Size S is also fine, but M is more comfortable, especially considering how you put it on. You can easily wear an extra sweatshirt underneath – but you don’t look like you’re wearing a sack. Excellent workmanship and materials. After the first tests, I definitely recommend it. The jacket is quite pricey, but it’s worth investing in Helikon instead of cheaper anoraks for around 150 PLN. This is a purchase for many years, not just one season. Zippers, adjustment features, Velcro on the cuffs – all are great. The Taiga Green color makes a great impression.

The product is great. The material is very good, the idea with side zippers is brilliant, especially for people with a belly... The gray and black version looks fantastic. Truly recommend. Super fast delivery!
-
Great jacket. The size runs less large than I expected. I'm glad I chose L, although I was considering M. The look, colors, and style are outstanding. The materials used in production are of the highest quality. I don't know about color durability yet, but I can recommend it with a clear conscience. Fast shipping, and customer service at the highest level.

I've wanted this jacket for a long time. I wasn't sure when I'd need it, but I really liked it. I took advantage of a promotion and ordered it right away. On the very first outing – a nighttime Way of the Cross – I appreciated it and regretted not buying it sooner. The jacket fits great, is well thought out and functional, and the vents help a lot while walking. The hood is super well designed. The large kangaroo pocket holds everything you need. The earth brown color matches my Helikon pants perfectly – highly recommended!
-
Great jacket. Excellent stitching. Very interesting cut, suitable for both the forest and the city. The pockets are spacious and well thought out. The size given by the manufacturer was spot-on – for me, at 172 cm, size S was just right. In my opinion, the taiga green color looks the best out of all available. I recommend the product.

The jacket is great. I tested it during a multi-day mountain trip, and it performed excellently. A big plus are the side zippers that improve ventilation. The jacket protects very well against wind and handles rain quite well. I am 175 cm tall and have a chest measurement of 116 cm – at first, I chose size M, but it was too narrow. After exchanging for L, it fits very well, although putting on and taking off the anorak requires a bit of effort – but that's their charm. Highly recommend, especially thanks to the store's staff for the quick exchange of the jacket. Regards.

The jacket is very durable, made of excellent material, and fits the body very well. The side zippers are a great innovation, giving the option to wear it in various conditions. The price fluctuates a lot – I even paid over a hundred more, but the product is worth it. The hood adjusts well. Highly recommended!
-
The jacket works very well, at 180 cm height and 80 kg weight, size M fits perfectly. The only downside is the black material (Black/Taiga Green version), which picks up fur very easily – with six dogs that's a problem. Other than that, it's fantastic!
-
I think this is the best anorak from Helikon – perfect both for long backpacking trips (the back material dries quickly) and for working by the campfire (Dura Canvas material). It is lighter than the Pilgrim model.
-
The black version of the anorak is perfect for the city. The thin back works perfectly with a backpack. Compared to the Helikon Pilgrim model, this one is lighter and has fewer pockets, making it ideal for summer.
-
A solid jacket - it works well both in the city and during trips. The waterproofness is decent (tested during heavy rainfall). Putting it on and taking it off - for this type of jacket - is acceptable (you have to get used to it :)). A big plus is the ability to adjust ventilation with the side zippers. Spacious hood with the option to adjust to your head - especially useful in rain and strong wind. Great appreciation for this solution. The color in real life is a bit darker than in the pictures. Cons: no extra zippers in the main pocket and no sleeve pockets (these would be very useful, as searching for items by feel in the main pocket is a bit troublesome).
