The jacket works great as an outer layer, but it also serves perfectly as a lightweight jacket during cooler summer days outdoors, for example when camping. I plan to order another one.

This is the best jacket I’ve had the chance to buy. I usually choose Helikon Tex products, so I expected high quality, but when I received the jacket, I was impressed – the material is light, yet it keeps warmth very well. I am 175 cm tall and weigh 84 kg; size M fits perfectly. I definitely recommend this product. In my opinion, Military EU is number one among stores.

Very well thought-out sweatshirt design and good material. The polar fleece has a waffle texture separated by grooves, which helps maintain body temperature and ensures good ventilation, avoiding overheating and sweating during exertion. You can feel the breathability of the material while keeping the warmth comfortable. The fleece works very well both as an outer layer and functions great as a layer under a softshell or jacket during cold seasons. The widened sleeve design under the armpits ensures comfort under a jacket or when tightened with, for example, backpack straps. It is lightweight and looks great both technically and in terms of color, whether in the field or the 'urban jungle.' The stand-up collar protects the neck well against the wind. This is already my next sweatshirt of this model, from the manufacturer HELIKON and a reliable supplier – Militaria.pl.

A very comfortable and pleasant product that combines qualities that are difficult to merge – it provides both ventilation and warmth. The pockets are very well placed, and the zippers are very convenient. I consider this model truly successful. It's just a pity that it's not available in a version made of thicker fabric.
-
A very pleasant small check pattern, and the pockets are really spacious and located in many places. However, Helikon Tex is associated with lightweight materials, so everything is rather thin. This is not a thick fleece, but the clothing is completely breathable.
-
Nice fleece, I recommend it. I listened to my friend and chose a more fitted size, so this L is a bit small—I should have picked XL. I'm 184 cm and weigh 95 kg. It worked great under my Helikon Level 7 jacket, kept me warm!
-
Great jacket, it's not too thin or too thick. It is suitable for cooler summer evenings or as an extra layer under a winter jacket. It also has many practical pockets where you can store necessary small items.
-
Pleasant to the touch material and solid workmanship. I use it both as an outer layer and a middle layer – it works well for everyday use as well as at work. It is very comfortable and suitable for a wide range of temperatures. If you sweat, it handles moisture wicking well. It protects against cold in light wind, but for stronger winds I recommend wearing a thin jacket or parka on top. If you want it to be fitted, choose your T-shirt size; for a looser fit, you can choose a size larger. The pockets are functional and comfortable to use. Overall, it's a great and practical piece of clothing.
-
The fleece is very warm. It works great as a layer, for example under a rain jacket, because it is not baggy and it fits perfectly under other clothing. The olive green color is very vivid and nice.
-
The sweatshirt is very nice and comfortable, the only complaint I have is about its width, it pinches me slightly in the shoulders (size M), apart from that it's a very nice product that can be recommended with a clear conscience.
-
A fantastic fleece sweatshirt that provides both warmth and good ventilation thanks to the materials used. The practical chest pocket has compartments for various small items and a flashlight. Great fit and perfect compliance with European sizes. My rating is 9 out of 10.
-
Top-notch quality, 10/10. The material is solid and thick, with very meticulous finishing—definitely one of the best pieces of clothing I've bought in a long time. Delivery was lightning fast. Highly recommended – Finland.
-
Phenomenal fleece by Helikon. Very comfortable, stretchy, fits well. Solid and breathable material. Protects the neck from the cold and is very warm by itself. Great color. Purchased in black and olive versions. I am 183 cm tall and weigh 75 kg. When trying on size M, I felt it was a bit short, but size L fits perfectly. I recommend it with a clear conscience.

Phenomenal fleece from Helikon. Very comfortable, stretchy, and fits well. Solid and breathable material. Protects the neck from cold and is very warm on its own. Great color. Purchased in both black and olive versions. I am 183 cm tall and weigh 75 kg; when trying on size M, I felt it was a bit short, but size L fits perfectly. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
