Review for model:

This is not the first sweatshirt of this brand that I have bought – I previously purchased a red one and was very satisfied, so I had high expectations for comfort this time as well. The sweatshirt is well made, looks stylish, the pockets are conveniently placed, and even a larger phone with a big battery fits in without any problems. The fabric is warm, pleasant to the touch, and comfortable for everyday use. It also ventilates well (which I appreciate during activities in the cold). You can comfortably wear a watch under the cuff (of course, you need to choose the right size ;) ), otherwise putting on and taking off the sweatshirt may be more difficult. After an intensive season, some minor pilling may appear, but this does not bother me.

It works very well for the transitional period, it's neither too warm nor too cold. The material is good, it doesn't get damaged, the sizing is also okay, although the sleeves could be looser.

After longer use, the sleeves become tiring; they are extremely narrow. The watch doesn't fit well with them, and pulling them off can be annoying. It's also strangely airy.

Helikon like Helikon. Aesthetic, functional, well cut. Is it worth its full price? Probably not. I've had it about a week and the sleeves have already started to pill. Other comments: hood could be a little deeper. It's relatively thin, for temperatures around 15°C without wind it's ok. The sleeve cuffs really are tight. No chance to roll up the sleeves. For 70% of the current price, I would recommend without hesitation.

For Helikon, this is a very successful sizing. I usually wear M, and here M actually fits. The sleeves are not too long and the sweatshirt is not too short. Good quality, original color (really a bit like a sweater).

A good sweatshirt. It looks elegant while maintaining its "tactical" feel. It has plenty of functional pockets. The material resembles wool and is quite breathable. The downside is that the material pills quickly. I recommend it.

Solidly made sweatshirt, even better finished than many lifestyle brands. Comfortable and clever, lots of pockets, pleasant material, convenient cut. I recommend it.

Very good, pleasant and warm sweatshirt. It has plenty of pockets and the 'hidden' ones are practically invisible. Unfortunately, as already described here, the cuffs at the sleeves are definitely too narrow, you can forget about rolling up the sleeves.

Great sweatshirt, would get 5 stars, but it wasn't made in Poland. Sleeves do cling tightly to the forearms and cannot be rolled up. Apart from that, the zippers work well, the sweatshirt is warm, comfortable. Color as in the picture. The sweatshirt looks a bit like a sweater.

Very comfortable. The size seems a bit generous. At a height of 182 and 85 kg it is just a bit too big. However, I think it will be a plus in the autumn. The workmanship is a plus. Good zippers.

The sweatshirt is great for everyday wear, the sizing as always with Helikon is very good, and the quality is high. However, the material pills and can stick to shirts worn under the sweatshirt. Nevertheless, a good purchase; size L fits with a slight looseness for 185 cm height and 75 kg, so you can wear a sweater under it :)

Comfortable sweatshirt, quite loose, but those sleeves... The cuffs at the wrists are terribly narrow. I have a big problem getting my watch through, fortunately they can be stretched a bit. The pockets are great!

The sweatshirt looks super soft and very pleasant to the touch. Quality is okay. Works as it should on cold days. Small drawback—pills and it does so very quickly.

The sweatshirt is fine, very nice, but as previous users wrote, the cuffs are a disaster. The sleeve from the elbow down, especially the cuff itself, is made for children or very slim women with very narrow, delicate hands. I barely managed to get my hand through, and I'm far from being as burly as Pudzianowski—it's like reaching for the nearest star, far, far away, over hills and forests...

Very nice sweatshirt. Another successful Helikon product. It looks very nice in real life. The material is very pleasant. The only drawback is the very tight cuffs on the sleeves, which makes it hard to check my watch. For height 170 and 72kg, size S fits perfectly. Great idea with the zipped pockets inside the side pockets.
