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/wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland
A soft, warm fleece jacket equipped with a zipper, delivering thermal insulation in cold conditions while efficiently venting excess heat and moisture during activity. Crafted from premium fleece at 380 g/m2, the Helikon-Tex Infantry is designed for optimal performance. The spacious cut enables layering with a thinner sweatshirt or additional insulated garments beneath. With a slightly extended back to shield the lower back from wind, the jacket maintains a short overall length for unrestricted access to waist belt pockets and gear.
Breathable fleece
Crafted from 100% quick-drying polyester featuring a 380 g/m2 grammage, the fleece delivers excellent insulation and breathability. Excess moisture is efficiently managed, helping to keep body temperature stable and prevent cooling. Thanks to a durable, damage-resistant fabric, the jacket is well-suited for challenging outdoor environments, whether on hikes or during tactical missions.
Roomy pockets
The fleece features four zippered pockets for optimal utility:
- two standard hip pockets,
- one pocket positioned on the chest,
- and a single pocket located on the left shoulder.
Hip pocket zippers are set at an angle to facilitate easier access and secure storage of equipment. Each zipper is equipped with a fabric strap, ensuring a firm grip even when wearing thick gloves.
Material reinforcements and high collar
Reinforcements of abrasion-resistant fabric are placed on the elbows, shoulders, flaps covering the hip pocket zippers, and the lower interior section of the fleece. Elastic cuffs have been replaced with Velcro-adjustable straps, enabling sleeve width to be tailored to personal preference. The tall collar shields the neck from wind and cold, supporting optimal thermal management. Additional fabric reinforces the rear collar area to resist abrasion from contact with weapon slings.
Velcro Panels
Both sides of the chest and each sleeve have been equipped with sewn-on Velcro straps, enabling the secure placement of various emblems, such as a national flag, unit insignia, or Morale Patches, which adds a personalized element to the fleece.

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.
