It is indeed shorter than competing models, but that is exactly what I wanted. It covers the waistband while not coming down too low on the thighs. It does not leave my back exposed to drafts, and the front pockets are positioned at the right height. At this point, it is working well as a fleece for all-day work.
Texar Husky Fleece - Gray
Gray fleece jacket perfect for thermal insulation in extreme cold conditions. Ideal as a secondary layer under a softshell jacket or as an independent fleece in milder climates.
fleece construction, 360 g/m2
Crafted from 360 g/m2 fleece material, the jacket's structure boosts ventilation, shields against wind, prevents heat loss, and serves as a reliable protective layer for outdoor activities. Ventilation openings under the arms improve breathability and thermal management. Reinforcements of durable nylon on the shoulders and forearms enhance resistance to abrasion. Its loose cut accommodates additional layers of clothing, such as a ballistic vest. The back panel extends slightly to shield the lower back, while the overall short design ensures quick access to pockets and gear worn on a waist belt.
5 spacious pockets
The design boasts five practical pockets:
- a zippered chest pocket,
- dual hip pockets equipped with zippers,
- and two zippered pockets on the upper arms.
velcro panels
Velcro panels on the shoulder pockets are perfect for attaching custom patches like flags, unit emblems, or morale badges.
large hood with visor, waist drawcord, adjustable cuffs
Crafted to fit comfortably over a hat, the hood comes with a soft visor that effectively minimizes water flow down the face. The hood is integrated into the collar, offering additional wind protection for the neck. Drawcords at the bottom of the jacket allow for a customizable fit and help reduce heat loss. The cuffs are easily adjustable with velcro, ensuring a secure fit over the wrist, gloves, or a watch.

Size: L

I wholeheartedly recommend this fleece — this is already my second one, and I’m satisfied every time. At a height of 177 cm, size L fits perfectly, and the biggest advantage is that it keeps you genuinely very warm.
-
I've been using this fleece for quite a long time, and nothing on it has broken so far. It's really sturdy, has the right number of pockets, and their placement is very practical. The only downside is the zipper, which can sometimes pull on beard hairs.
-
The fleece is very well made, sewn from solid material and provides warmth effectively. It works well as an outer layer. I used it in temperatures of -15°C and it did its job, although of course I had something else on underneath. One drawback is the Velcro cuff, which wears out over time and practically stops offering any adjustability.

Great tactical sweatshirt, very stylish and looks good. Overall, Texar products are cheaper and have lower quality compared to Helikon-Tex, but this sweatshirt is not inferior to them.
-
A great jacket that can also be connected to the ECWCS jacket. You can also wear this jacket separately on warmer days. Many pockets are also available to store your belongings.

A great jacket that can also be connected with the ECWCS jacket. You can also wear this jacket alone when the weather is not cold. Would buy again.

The fleece was purchased as a sweatshirt for the spring and autumn period (used as an outer layer). So that the sweatshirt would not be too loose, I chose size S for a height of 176 cm and a weight of 78 kg. It fits well. The material is pleasant and soft to the touch. The workmanship is very precise. The hood lays nicely on the back. If I had to point out any downsides, I would mention the stiff Velcro panels on the shoulders and the hard, rubbery Velcro wrist adjusters. The sweatshirt is also quite short, which makes it easier to access pockets, but not everyone may like that. Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase and can recommend this sweatshirt.

I will share my opinion: on the plus side, the material is really pleasant and provides pretty good protection against the cold. Unfortunately, when it comes to the negatives, there are a few – the fit around the chest area is still fine, but further down the sweatshirt widens by about 3 centimeters, giving it a trapezoid shape, which doesn't look very good. The sleeves with velcro straps are very stiff; I hope they'll soften over time. Besides that, the sleeves are so long that they almost reach the ankles when your arms are down. Compared to the Helikon fleece, that one is definitely better quality.

The fleece is very nice, comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, and well made. The only drawbacks are the small pockets. The fabric is pleasant to the touch and keeps you very warm. I definitely recommend this product.

The fleece is pleasant to the touch, warm, and very comfortable. I am very satisfied and highly recommend it! Size L is great for a person who is 185 cm tall and weighs 85 kg, it fits perfectly. If someone is hesitating, it’s definitely worth buying ;)

For me, this fleece is an absolute hit! I had been searching for the perfect one for a long time and the Texar Husky met my expectations. It's very warm and at the same time very comfortable. I like the high collar and the practical hood with a gentle brim. During a several-hour walk on a cloudy day in Opole, I didn't feel cold even for a moment, and the temperature was just right. The pockets on the sleeves are a great idea. Size L fits me perfectly at 185 cm tall and about 80 kg in weight.
-
I've been using the fleece for over 4 years now and I can wholeheartedly recommend it. The price is adequate to the quality. The hood protects well against the wind, zippers under the arms provide good ventilation, there are also pockets on the shoulders and a large internal chest pocket. The fabric is pleasant to the touch and really warm. I definitely recommend it.
-
Great sweatshirt, very warm and well made. Size XL fits perfectly for a person 190 cm tall and 99 kg, although the back could be a little longer. Express shipping. I recommend it.

I've been using the Texar fleece on colder autumn days—it insulates and warms well. Well made, and during promotions, you can get it at a very attractive price.
