Helikon has remained a trusted brand for years; perhaps I’m not entirely impartial, since I probably own almost all of their products. This fleece is definitely one of the most versatile models: it is neither the warmest nor the lightest, but it performs well in a variety of situations. It has a regular fit, so you can easily wear a thermal layer underneath. It is also quite light; if someone needs something more substantial, they should choose the Liberty model (or the Patrol, which in my opinion is still the best suited for harsher frosts). It really is an excellent, very high-quality fleece. On top of that, it is highly durable — several of my pieces are already over 8 years old and are still in perfect condition.
