I highly recommend this polar fleece, it looks like it will really keep you warm, it's comfortable, doesn't restrict movement, and isn't loose at the wrists or waistband. The Velcro and drawstrings allow you to adjust it as you like. The material is very pleasant to the touch. I recommend it.
Helikon-Tex Infantry fleece - Black
A black fleece jacket, offering a warm and soft layer, features a zippered front for easy closure and delivers thermal insulation in cold conditions. At the same time, the material efficiently wicks away excess heat and moisture during intense activity. Manufactured by Helikon-Tex, the Infantry model utilizes premium fleece material with a density of 380 g/m2. The relaxed fit allows comfortable wear over a lightweight sweatshirt or additional insulating garments. With a slightly elongated back panel, the jacket helps shield the kidney area from cold winds, yet remains short enough to ensure unimpeded access to pockets and equipment carried on a trouser belt.
Breathable fleece
Constructed from 100% quick-drying polyester with a density of 380 g/m2, the fleece offers exceptional insulation and breathability. The advanced material enables efficient moisture wicking, effectively preventing body heat loss. Rugged and damage-resistant, the fabric ensures the jacket is ideal for demanding outdoor environments, supporting activities ranging from hiking to tactical operations.
Roomy pockets
The fleece features four zippered pockets for secure storage:
- two traditional hip pockets,
- a single chest pocket,
- and one shoulder pocket positioned on the left side.
Angled zippers on the hip pockets provide easier access to your gear, while each zipper comes equipped with a fabric pull tab for an improved grip, even when wearing heavy gloves.
Material reinforcements and high collar
Elbows, shoulders, hip pocket zipper covers, and the lower interior area feature fleece that is reinforced with abrasion-resistant fabric. Velcro-adjustable closures have replaced elastic cuffs, enabling precise adjustment of the sleeve width. A high collar shields the neck from wind and cold, supporting optimal body heat retention. Reinforcement on the back of the collar prevents wear from frequent contact with a weapon sling.
Velcro Panels
Both sides of the chest and each sleeve feature velcro strips sewn in, making it possible to attach a range of emblems, including national flags, unit insignias, or Morale Patches, and giving the fleece a more personalized character.

An excellent fleece. Probably the warmest and most wind-resistant in the Helikon fleece series. I have two green ones from this series, and so as not to stand out in the army, I bought a black one, which is very similar to the original army-issued one. The downside of black, unfortunately, is that all the fur from my little dog shows up on it as if it were glowing.
-
An excellent model of fleece jacket. The thickness is less than the thickest Helikon fleeces, but thanks to the denser fleece, it insulates better against the wind and is warmer. Around the neck, it's soft and delicate, but as a result, when I'm unshaven, I damage the fleece in the chin area. Unfortunately, in all Helikon fleeces, there is no reinforcement in that spot.

Great Helikon fleece, good weight, keeps you warm, thicker than the Helikon Classic which I also own. Size S for 78 kg, 174 cm, 42 cm shoulder. Bought on promotion, so the price was very attractive. Solid company, everything quick and smooth. I recommend it.

Great jacket, meets the requirements for clothing designed for special tasks. I am just wondering why, when producing jackets for the army or police, those in size XL are mainly wider at the waist. Size L fits me very well, though the shoulders are a bit too narrow, whereas XL has slightly wider shoulders but a much wider waist. Jackets from XL up seem to be designed more for overweight people rather than taller people. As officers, we should have a proportional figure after all.

This is already my second piece. Previously I got one with a camo insert, now it's completely black. The sweatshirt is quite warm, comfortable, and I like the idea of a pocket on the sleeve. The black version matches almost any pants and doesn't have that strong of a 'military' feel. On my previous one, the velcro for the sleeve adjustment came off quickly, but it wasn’t a big issue. I’m curious how this one will hold up. I'm 176 cm tall and size S fits perfectly. I definitely recommend it, I’ll probably order another one soon so I can rotate them. Additionally, the speed at which the store processes orders is outstanding—no other seller ships that fast. I placed the order at night, and by 8:03 am, the package was ready for dispatch. I recommend it!

This fleece jacket features a well-designed silhouette that allows for excellent shoulder flexibility. The Velcro closures at the cuffs are also made of a highly durable material. The fleece provides exceptional warmth.

Nice fleece. Well and solidly made. This is already my second piece of this model. Previously I bought the black color. I recommend the product and the seller. The shipment was as always express.
-
For this price, the jacket is really excellent. It has a lot of functional pockets, it's soft, warm, and pleasant to the touch. The Velcro works great for decorating it yourself with patches. The zippers are also solid and very convenient to use. I would gladly buy it again.
-
Polar fleece is great, but the sizing can be confusing just like other reviewers mentioned. At 172 cm tall, size S fits, and size M is for about 180 cm height. It might be problematic if someone is large but short. Ultimately, I bought another fleece from this brand, the Patriot, and I highly recommend paying extra for it, because even though this one is good quality, the Patriot is much better.

Great polar fleece. Very well made from good materials. But time will tell. I have ordered another one in a different color. I recommend the product and the seller. Super fast shipping.

The Polar Helikon Infantry in Black is a great choice for colder days. Very well made, warm, yet breathable. The material feels nice to the touch and retains heat well, even during longer activity. It fits great, looks stylish, and works well both outdoors and for everyday use. I definitely recommend it!

The fleece works great. Tailored as if it was made for me. I'm 170cm tall and size (S) is perfect. Not too short, not too long. Nothing hangs, the sleeves fit perfectly. For this price, you won't find anything better.

Another great jacket from Helikon-Tex. The Infantry model is, as far as I know, the second level in the hierarchy of Helikon-Tex jackets, which makes it warmer than the Classic-Army (which I also own). I chose size M in black, which fits me perfectly—I am 180 cm tall and have a shoulder width of 48-50 cm. I usually wear L, but Helikon jackets generally have a looser, military cut, which I like. It is really very warm, and the lower the temperature outside, the more you appreciate its heating properties. I put it on under a coat and then only need a thermal T-shirt underneath. This is another successful purchase from Military.eu at a great price. Thank you, Military.eu.

Outstanding quality, fits perfectly, the dimensions match the table. Another purchase from the Helikon series and once again I am extremely satisfied with the product received. I RECOMMEND.
