A practical fleece designed for physical activity. Its unusual structure means it wicks moisture from sweat to the outside better than regular fleeces, so it works great with thermal underwear. I use it all year round, and it’s nice that there are different color options. Reinforcements on the shoulders and elbows would be useful. In another color. In autumn, worn over a cotton or thermal shirt, it does the job. In the mountains, it is too warm while ascending. It is fine during breaks. I recommend it.

Review summary
Automatically prepared based on reviews
Reviews show that the fleece and jacket combine low weight with solid warmth very well. Users praise the breathable grid fabric, effective moisture management, and comfort during activity, so the product works well both as a mid-layer under a shell and on its own in cooler weather. Many also highlight the solid build quality, practical pockets, high collar, and appealing look. The most common drawback is the slim and sometimes inconsistent fit: sleeves, shoulders, underarms, or neck can feel too tight, so many buyers recommend checking the size chart carefully and sometimes choosing a larger size. Some reviews also note limited wind protection and mention that reinforcements on the elbows and shoulders would improve durability.

Warm, but not too warm! That's how I would rate it :) It breathes well, keeps you nicely warm, is comfortable, fits well, but because it breathes better, its biggest enemy is the wind :) YKK zippers, well made.

Size: M
A soft fleece sweatshirt in a Shadow Grey shade that effectively protects against the cold even during severe frosts. It is perfect both as a layer under a softshell jacket and when worn on its own as an outer garment.

I really liked this Helikon-Tex Alpha fleece jacket, so I bought it in this exact color. It is warm, pleasant to the touch, and solidly made. I was looking for something in a similar style, and here I managed to find it, thank you.

Size: M
A very good fleece, with no complaints at all. The quality of the materials and workmanship deserves a 5/5. It provides an adequate amount of warmth, but when worn over just a T-shirt as an outer layer at 5°C, it may prove too light—although much depends on individual cold tolerance. On the other hand, it works great as a mid-layer between a jacket and thermal underwear.

The sweatshirt is comfortable, the size fits well, and it provides adequate warmth even with a thinner outer layer. Although the material feels light, it is actually quite durable. Overall, it has a good cut and is a successful product. One drawback, however, is that opening the pocket on the sleeve with one hand is practically impossible.

Size: L
At 1.80 m tall and 80 kg, I couldn't decide for a long time between sizes M and L. In the end, L turned out to be a bit too loose for me. A big advantage is the large number of pockets, although unfortunately this contributes to the greater weight. Even so, the price-to-quality ratio is excellent.

This fleece has a very original look, is made of high-quality materials and solid hardware. Although it is lightweight and looks that way as well, it provides a lot of warmth. A big advantage is the side pockets, which give a similar feeling to slipping your hands into a kangaroo pocket. The sleeves have stiffened inserts, which for now can be conveniently rolled up. I also considered the Patriot model from Helikon, but ultimately chose this one because it has no hood. The size chosen according to the chart turned out to be perfect, 10/10.

A great jacket for the transitional season. I have size L in khaki, and at 1.80 m tall and 83 kg, it fits well, performs well outdoors, and keeps its shape after washing, while also being very comfortable to wear. The solid workmanship, the small pockets hidden inside the chest pocket, and the mesh lining are definite pluses. The YKK zippers work flawlessly and very smoothly, which is not always a given with waterproof models. I’m considering buying a second one in another color. It’s a great choice for a summer camping trip, especially on a cool morning or in the evening. I definitely recommend it!

I usually choose size M, but after checking the size chart I ordered size S for this jacket. It turned out to fit perfectly, so the sizing was accurate. I really like the mesh lining, the jacket has a great cut, and I am extremely satisfied with the purchase.

I really like this fleece. It isn’t overly thick, and thanks to the grid structure of the fabric it provides good ventilation. I wear it as a mid-layer while hiking, and put a windproof jacket over it. It retains warmth well while also allowing air to circulate effectively.

I have been using it for several seasons as a lightweight insulating mid-layer under a jacket, as well as wearing the fleece on its own on warmer days. It is a well-designed, lightweight, and very well-fitted fleece jacket.

A very pleasant fleece that works well on colder days. It is lightweight, warm, and comfortable, and the material is soft and pleasant to the touch. The sweatshirt fits well and allows freedom of movement. The workmanship is solid, and after several uses it still looks very good. I am satisfied with the purchase and would gladly buy it again.
