The anorak is of very good quality. It works great in the field. Its oversized cut allows for wearing several insulating layers freely, which is a big plus. I recommend it.

In my opinion, the design of the Tracer anorak is very well thought out: the loose fit offers great freedom of movement, and the zippers on the chest and sides significantly improve ventilation. Additionally, the side zippers allow for quick putting on and taking off of the anorak, and if you fully unzip them, you can remove the underlayer sweatshirt without taking off the jacket. After checking the Woodsman model (which has a similar cut), I decided that the Tracer better suits my expectations. The fabric of the Tracer is made up of 50% polyester, 48% cotton, 2% elastane, which makes it almost 20% heavier than the Woodsman (65% p. / 33% c. / 2% e.), but despite this, the Tracer seems definitely better to me. Unlike the Woodsman, the Tracer has practical shoulder pockets, and the three small pockets inside the large kangaroo pocket are big enough for a phone and you can easily reach inside for small items, which the Woodsman lacks.

I had never had an anorak before, and now I am very satisfied with it – it looks great, it's comfortable and convenient. The Helikon jacket offers excellent functionality and aesthetic finishing. In higher temperatures, you can open the side zippers. Lots of practical pockets. The hood is easy to adjust. I highly recommend it, very good quality.

I bought the anorak out of sentiment, as I had one as a young boy. I'm a big guy, 180 cm tall with a 140 cm chest, so for comfort I had to buy a 3XL. I like the underarm zippers—these solutions work really well during physical activity. I tested it at 5°C with just a t-shirt. For outdoor activity: Score 3/10. With an extra level 2 insulating layer: Score 6/10. With a light down jacket and the anorak: Score 8/10. Level 2 + down + anorak: 10/10. Comfort with just a t-shirt + anorak at 15°C: 8/10. At 20°C with just a t-shirt + anorak: 10/10. Remember, the kangaroo pocket: the more you put in, the more it pulls forward. You have to keep it zipped, otherwise everything falls out when you bend over. This jacket is not for everyone. Either you like this type of kangaroo jacket, or you hate it. Everyone has to decide for themselves.

Anorak of very good quality. It works great in the field. Its oversized cut allows you to freely wear a few insulating layers, which is a big plus. I recommend it.

Nice, lightweight, loose jacket made of good material. The kangaroo pocket is quite high, but it doesn't bother me. The only downside in my opinion is the visor in the hood, it's unnecessary.

I already had the green Tracer anorak and for a long time I wanted it in the RAL7013 version. At a height of 1.72 m and weight of 70 kg, size M is loose and perfect to comfortably wear the Wolfhound jacket underneath. I like that the anorak can be completely unzipped under the arms – it’s a big plus during physical activity when the weather changes.
