This is probably my best purchase ever. Excellent fleece. Warm and comfortable. The number of pockets and their placement are just right. The zippers are sturdy and work well. Big hood with a brim. I usually wear it as an outer layer, but sometimes I put it under a jacket. If anyone is considering buying it, I 100% recommend it, you won't be disappointed.
Helikon-Tex Patriot Fleece - Olive Green
The Olive Green zip-up fleece jacket delivers thermal insulation in low temperatures while efficiently releasing excess warmth and moisture during intense movement. Constructed from premium fleece boasting a weight of 380 g/m2, the Helikon-Tex Patriot offers a generous cut that accommodates layering over lighter sweatshirts and additional insulating garments. Designed with a slightly elongated back section, the jacket shields the kidneys from cold winds, yet maintains a length that grants easy access to pockets and any gear attached to a trouser belt.
Breathable fleece
Constructed from 100% quick-drying polyester with a density of 380 g/m2, the fleece delivers exceptional insulation and breathability. Superior moisture management ensures efficient evaporation, reducing the risk of the body cooling down. Engineered for durability and damage resistance, the jacket excels in demanding outdoor environments, whether navigating rugged trails or engaging in tactical operations. Reinforced fabric at the elbows significantly enhances abrasion resistance and ensures extended longevity.
Adjustable hood
Cold and wind protection is ensured by a spacious, fully enclosed hood. Generous dimensions accommodate a winter hat without hindering movement. A soft brim prevents water from dripping onto the face. Integrated into the collar, the hood keeps the neck well-covered when in use. Elastic drawcords allow for personalized adjustment to fit individual preferences.
Roomy pockets
Featuring six generously sized and ergonomically arranged pockets, the jacket delivers outstanding utility:
- two chest pockets
- two shoulder-level sleeve pockets
- one pocket positioned on the left forearm
- a pass-through pocket located on the rear, just above the hips
Every pocket is secured with rugged, dependable YKK zippers. Zippers are equipped with fabric pull tabs, allowing smooth operation even when wearing thick gloves. Dedicated compartments inside the chest pockets provide space for a phone, along with cable ports—for instance, to accommodate headphone wires.
Velcro panels, adjustable cuffs and elastic waistband
Velcro panels positioned on the shoulders provide a secure place for attaching patches, identifiers, unit insignia, or Morale Patches. The sleeves are equipped with hook-and-loop adjustable cuffs for precise regulation of circumference. An elastic drawcord at the waist effectively blocks cold air from entering underneath and aids in maintaining body warmth.

I don't know if this fleece still needs any more recommendations, because I think everyone has already noticed its advantages. Very warm, super comfortable, and it looks great. Practical pockets and a superb hood with a visor are great features that every user will surely appreciate. I use it both at work and in the mountains; it’s also great for cycling on cold days. In my opinion, it’s world-class.
-
I can wholeheartedly recommend this fleece. I used it all winter in severe frost; it can serve as a sweatshirt or, on colder days, as the main source of warmth. For this price, it's definitely worth it.
-
I bought this fleece jacket as a replacement for my old nine-year-old M65 jacket from Mil Tec, before it gets completely worn out, considering its age. I immediately liked the new jacket a lot and I plan to wear it when it gets cold again. The poncho from the same brand has already found its place in the new fleece jacket.

I bought three pieces. Two of them are for gifts. The fleeces do their job on cold days. Not only do they provide warmth, but with the number and arrangement of pockets, you definitely won't be disappointed. Perfect for work, duty, or a trip to the mountains.
-
Excellent purchase! During the autumn/winter/spring season, I wore it practically non-stop. Warm, comfortable, practical. Really worth its price.
-
Amazing fleece! The weight is quite substantial, but the fabrics used are really great quality. Even in winter, you don’t need to wear an additional jacket over this sweater. I definitely recommend it 1000%!
-
Warm and solid fleece. Perfect for long stays outdoors during winter. Lots of pockets. Overall, well-made fleece. Worth buying. 5/5
-
This fleece is probably already a legend – it looks great, is very well made, has plenty of pockets and drawstrings, so it will fit any body type. Very warm, it easily handles winter at several degrees below zero, one of the best purchases I've made in a long time. I highly recommend it.
-
Really great fleece. Warm, thick. Well made. Fits you like you're J.Statham :) Even though it's not waterproof, it takes some time before you notice. Trekking in the north - perfect choice.
-
A well-designed and thoughtfully crafted fleece. Functional pockets, a well-fitted cut. It keeps you warm very well, and when combined with other clothing items, it works perfectly even in freezing temperatures.
-
Bought for my brother for private fun, trips to the shooting range, etc. The sizing is a plus; for a height of 2 meters, it's good in length, same for the sleeves. The color is brilliant, the material is very warm.
-
For me it's 10/10. I've been wearing it every day for several months and I can really recommend it. Nothing happens to it, the pockets are spacious and practical. The zippers work perfectly with no issues, nothing is coming apart.
-
This is the best fleece I have used so far. It is comfortable and adjustable at the wrists. It has many pockets and zippers under the armpits, which improve air circulation.
-
Very comfortable and thick fleece sweatshirt, carefully made. I recommend choosing a size larger. The promotional price is very attractive, the sweatshirt can serve as a jacket in spring or early autumn, when the temperature does not drop below 10°C. Personally, I miss having pockets at the bottom.
