I highly recommend this fleece from the bottom of my heart. It is lightweight, comfortable, and warm. The fleece is so pleasant that my fiancée wanted to get one for herself as well. A big advantage of this fleece is the visor on the hood and the high collar.

Helikon-Tex Patriot MK2 Hybrid Fleece - wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland
Fleece hooded sweatshirt engineered for superior thermal insulation in extremely cold conditions, while efficiently managing excess heat and moisture. Incorporation of a dual-layer Hybrid Fleece fabric with distinct properties ensures optimal thermal retention without adding unnecessary weight to the fleece.
340 g/m2 grammage, reinforced sleeves
The exterior is crafted from thick, classic fleece with a weight of 340 g/m2, while the interior features a lining of Grid Fleece with a mesh construction to enhance comfort and breathability. Zippered underarm vents allow for improved heat dissipation. Elastic drawcords at the cuffs ensure a secure fit around the wrists.
Zipper, extended cut
A two-way zipper secures the sweatshirt, providing versatile fastening options. The rear section features a subtle extension, offering extra protection for the lower back against wind. The design ensures easy access to the pockets and any gear carried on the waistband. The sweatshirt’s hood is generously sized to accommodate a cap underneath, ensuring added comfort and coverage. A soft visor shields the face from dripping water. The hood is integrated with the collar so the lining remains in place, effectively shielding the neck from exposure and guarding sensitive areas against wind. Soft Velcro panels are placed on the shoulder pockets for affixing patches or emblems. Additionally, laser-cut panels with dedicated grommets support the attachment of extra accessories, such as tactical pens or compact flashlights.

I don't know if there's anything bad you can say about Helikon's products. Bought mainly for cycling during colder days. I am extremely satisfied with this product; numerous mesh pockets and additional vents guarantee that you won't get sweaty during intense pedaling, and the fact that you don't have to unfasten the front ensures you won't get chilled by the wind. If someone is looking for a good fleece, I can definitely recommend this one.

I bought the Helikon-Tex Patriot Mk2 fleece and was positively surprised by its quality. The only thing I can complain about is the slightly stiff zipper. Other than that, I'm happy with my choice and the shipping was express!

Polar worth recommending, everything as described. I am pleasantly surprised. Perfect for colder days and not only. Comfortable and, what’s nice, it has a lot of pockets.

The fleece is not as warm as its military, basic predecessor, in my opinion it is more breathable. The hood is described as spacious, so you can put a hat under it. Unfortunately, this may be true for people without a neck; if you have one, the brim of the hood sits on the top of your head. You could try pulling it on, but then it gets really tight at the back of your neck. It’s missing about 7 cm. The hood adjustment elastic broke after a week of use. It's not a big deal, but in such a fleece, it doesn't look good.

I have been using the Polar for 9 months and I can honestly recommend it. It is comfortable, very warm, and pleasant to the touch. Compared to the previous version, it is definitely slimmer, so it will suit slimmer people more. It is also thinner, but thanks to the honeycomb-structured lining inside, I haven't noticed it being any colder than the original. I’m happy to wear it both when going out in the city and in the forest.

Very good fleece Another fleece from the Helikon family after the classic I have size S in the classic with a height of 170 cm and weight of 77 kg, and I was hesitating whether to take S or M, but I chose M and it was a very good choice

I went for the 2nd version because the new one is still too expensive. Nice fleece, very warm, works well for those spring days when it's warm and cold. It's not a regular fleece, it already has this new checkered pattern on the inside, so it's not as thick as an ordinary fleece, but it keeps you nicely warm. I recommend waiting for a promotion before buying. The zipper is okay, although you have to struggle a bit to fasten and unfasten it, it's because of this double zipper that you have to line up evenly from bottom to top to close. For now, that's the only downside. I recommend it.

Very comfortable and warm fleece sweatshirt. The material is pleasant to wear, the zipper works smoothly. Nicely finished. Plus, nice colors and an attractive price. Another plus for being made by a Polish manufacturer and supporting the Polish economy.

I hesitated a bit before choosing this fleece, I was aiming more for the PRO version, which seemed to fit UHS better, but in the end I decided on this one. It’s fairly roomy, so if you want to wear it under a jacket, either get a smaller fleece size or a larger jacket size (than usual). It holds warmth well, but with stronger gusts of wind a softshell is useful with it. I’m satisfied :)

I really liked this fleece sweatshirt. At first, I considered buying the mk1, but I decided against it because of the hood—the mk2 version has a smaller one, which suits me better. I am 188 cm tall and weigh 105 kg, and the 3XL size fits perfectly. If you plan on hiking with a backpack, this fleece will work great because it breathes well and has zippers under the arms for extra ventilation. On colder days, when I'm doing less demanding activities like walking the dog, I wear it under a waterproof jacket—they make a very warm set together.

I chose the Patriot Mk2 because I was looking for a single fleece jacket that would work both for daily use and during longer stays outdoors. It has practically become my main outer layer. This is the kind of model you put on 'for a moment', and then it turns out you're wearing it for the third day in a row because it just does its job so well.

This is already my second MK2. Great for moderately cold days, very functional, practical pockets. It's not as warm as the first-generation Patriot, but it's sufficient. Helikon could release a version without a hood.
-
Excellent material and workmanship. It keeps warmth very well and the pocket layout is perfect - well done Helikon. Size M is ideal for 180cm height and 100cm chest.

For me, probably the best fleece from Helikon. Well-fitted, the pockets are well placed and it is warm, definitely warm. There are often promotions so you can hunt for it at a good price.
