Top-quality workmanship.... I am convinced that this model is worth paying extra for compared with cheaper ones.... My daughter says it is as warm as a jacket.... It fits her height of 165 cm perfectly...
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.

The fleece is very warm and well made. It looks great and resembles the standard MON liner. A huge downside is the Velcro panels being too small, so emblems and rank insignia do not fit on them.
-
The fleece sweatshirt met my expectations. It is warm, comfortable, and very pleasant to the touch. The material is lightweight but protects well against the cold, which makes it perfect for walks, trips, or everyday use. The fit is comfortable, and the quality of workmanship is at a good level. I definitely recommend it.

The Helikon-Tex fleece is one of the best choices on the market in terms of price-to-quality ratio. If you are looking for a rugged, exceptionally warm, and comfortable fleece for autumn and winter—whether for the shooting range, the woods, or everyday wear around the house—it is a purchase that will serve you well for years.

A great, thick, pleasant-to-the-touch fleece for exceptionally cold days or frosty weather under a jacket. The workmanship, as with Helikon, is of a really high standard. The zippers work smoothly without getting stuck, as happens with other manufacturers. It’s the best deal when it’s on sale 😊
-
When choosing Helikon, it's hard to make a bad choice. The product fully matches the described features. The relaxed fit and solid insulation are just some of the advantages that encourage the purchase of more jackets.
-
The jacket is very comfortable. It works perfectly as servicewear, the velcro is securely attached, and you can easily sew on additional elements. The reinforcements on the sleeves and shoulders effectively protect against wind and light rain. The high collar offers extra protection, and wearing this jacket is pure pleasure.
-
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.
-
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.
