Review for model:

The fleece is very warm, comfortable, and works well both for everyday use and during trips or outdoor activities. The material seems solid, and the cut provides freedom of movement and wearing comfort. The order arrived quickly and everything was as described.

Not quite a sweatshirt, not quite a jacket. It's good, but not perfect. I'll start with the positives. The cut is just right for me. The shorter front (for easy access to pants pockets or a waist bag) and longer back, which protects the kidneys (I mean the internal organs :)) from drafts, is spot on. Additionally, the collar perfectly wraps around the neck, so that part of the body stays pleasantly warm. Another plus is the possibility of adjustment - the collar, the bottom of the sweatshirt, and the cuffs, although the velcro on the cuffs doesn't actually look very sturdy. Maybe Helikon will someday consider a regular drawstring or snaps? I'd also count the reinforced material on the shoulders and elbows as a plus. For someone who practically never leaves the house without a backpack, this is an essential feature. The number of pockets is satisfactory, but their functionality is a bit worse. No phone will fit in any of the sleeve pockets, and I don't think anyone leaves the house without a phone these days. Sure, there are dedicated pockets in the chest pockets, but the problem is that a larger phone won't fit there either. They could have sewn the material inside to create an extra pocket closer to the body, but as it is, it's just a big useless hole straight through. So the phone rattles around freely in the chest pocket, and I'm worried that if I put my hands in there to warm them, the phone might just fall out. On the other hand, I like that there are D-rings in those pockets—a useful feature. What I don't like is that only the main zipper is branded, i.e., YKK. The rest (probably) are no-name. As for thermal comfort, that's very individual, but in my case, the fleece provides comfort down to around -2°C (I'm talking about everyday city life). Of course, assuming I'm also wearing a sweater and a t-shirt. Below that temperature, it starts to feel chilly.

The Polar Helikon Liberty in wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland camouflage is a great choice for cooler days. The material is thick, very warm and pleasant to the touch, while at the same time it breathes well during greater physical effort. The cut is fitted but does not restrict movement, which makes the sweatshirt suitable both for use in the field and for everyday wear. The large number of pockets and solid zippers are a huge advantage, especially during trips to the mountains or to the shooting range. The overall look is professional and it fully deserves the highest rating.

I bought the Helikon Liberty sweatshirt in Jungle Green and I am really satisfied. The material—a 390 g/m² fleece—retains heat very well while also breathing nicely during activity. The design is well thought-out: a high-standing collar, adjustable cuffs, and a waistband drawstring—everything works smoothly. The Jungle Green color looks solid both outdoors and in urban use. I recommend it as a versatile sweatshirt for cooler days.

Very comfortable to use fleece, warm, though the fabric weight could be better. Very well sewn, sturdy - BUT the soft velcros on the cuffs wear out quickly due to the hard velcro made of a single piece of rubber. Very spacious pockets - you can fit a half-liter bottle or a small book. I wore it to the forest, to work, and to church. At the same time, it doesn't shout military style, but also doesn't look like regular civilian clothes.

Very comfortable and warm fleece sweatshirt. The material is pleasant to wear, the zipper works smoothly. Nicely finished. Also nice colors and attractive price. Extra points for being made by a Polish manufacturer and supporting the Polish economy.

Phenomenal, elegant, very comfortable and warm fleece sweatshirt. The material is pleasant to wear, the zipper works smoothly. Nice finishing. Also nice colors and an attractive price. Additional plus for being made by a Polish manufacturer and supporting the Polish economy.

Perfectly tailored jacket. Fits perfectly. All the zippers work smoothly. The pockets are in good places, and in the chest pockets there are cable pass-throughs for a powerbank or headphones and a D-ring to attach something and not lose it. Simply perfect.

You won't find anything better for freezing days! Warm, excellently sewn. The pockets are fantastic. Be careful with sizing! I usually buy size M or L, here S is perfect for me. Good purchase.

The sweatshirt itself is very good, both Liberty and Patriot (the only difference is the hood). The material used is very nice, "meaty", thick fleece. Hard to find fault… until you start using it daily instead of a jacket (autumn, winter, spring). After about a year, the velcros on the sleeves start not to hold anymore (the only way to keep the sleeves from flapping loosely is to remove them). The zipper seems high quality… but right after the sleeve velcro comes the problem of the bottom zipper not working properly (the plastic wears out and goes too deep into the machine). It's not a bad batch or rare issue. I have the exact same problems on my third piece and among friends it's confirmed on several (100% the sleeve velcro, zipper depends on usage, about 50/50).

The fleece is very warm and quite thick. The material quality is very good, size M is perfect - I am 175 cm tall and weigh 78 kg, fits perfectly. I think it will do great even at sub-zero temperatures. Worth its price, I recommend it.

The Helikon Liberty fleece is already a classic among fleeces. Proven in terms of material, cut, and functionality, as evidenced by positive reviews. The sizing runs a bit large therefore I buy a size smaller (for another color purchase). Very good ratio of price to material and workmanship quality. Let's hope it stays in production for a long time without changes to the quality or materials.

Excellent quality fleece, the size chart accurately reflects reality. Quality as always from Helikon. Warm, practical, I recommend it.

Nicely sewn, thick fleece. My wife, who is usually sensitive to cold, says it is really warm. As always with Helikon, the quality is excellent! Express delivery. I sincerely recommend it.
