The fleece is very comfortable and well made. The material is soft, pleasant to the touch, and provides the right amount of warmth. The sweatshirt works well on cooler days, both for walks and for outdoor activities. Nothing rubs or restricts movement. Solid workmanship and a practical cut are definitely its biggest advantages.

Helikon-Tex Patriot Polar Mk2 Hybrid Fleece - Black
Hooded sweatshirt in Black crafted from fleece. The fabric ensures excellent thermal insulation even in severe frost, efficiently releasing excess heat and moisture. Thanks to the application of the two-layer Hybrid Fleece fabric, which combines different functional properties, the garment achieves outstanding thermal protection while maintaining a lightweight fleece structure.
340 g/m2 grammage, reinforced sleeves
Constructed with an outer layer of thick, classic fleece featuring a 340 g/m2 grammage, the interior utilizes Grid Fleece material with a mesh structure to enhance breathability and improve overall comfort. Zippered vents positioned beneath the armpits allow for optimal thermal regulation during intense activity. Elastic drawstrings have been integrated into the cuffs to ensure a secure fit around the wrists.
Zipper, extended cut, roomy hood
Equipped with a two-way zipper, the sweatshirt ensures versatile fastening options. The rear panel features a slight extension, offering additional protection for the lower back against wind exposure. The ergonomic cut guarantees unobstructed access to pockets and any gear secured on the waistband. The hood is generously sized, making it suitable for use over a head covered by a cap. A soft visor shields the face from direct water drips. The hood is integrated with the collar in such a manner that the lining fully covers the neck, ensuring maximum protection for sensitive areas against the wind. Soft Velcro panels are featured on the shoulder pockets, allowing for convenient patch or emblem attachment. Laser-cut panels with dedicated grommets enable the secure carry of additional tools, such as tactical pens or compact flashlights.

Hybrid Fleece
Hybrid Fleece is a hybrid fleece fabric with a two-layer construction. The outer material is a classic fleece, while the inner material is a so-called Grid Fleece with a mesh structure that improves breathability while maintaining warmth.

Grid Fleece is a type of fleece characterized by a mesh construction that allows for efficient moisture wicking, providing faster drying and better ventilation. It allows to maintain thermal comfort, through the air that is trapped inside the mesh cells, creating an insulating layer. It is usually made of synthetic fibers blend, thanks to which it is also lightweight, soft and flexible.

Review summary
Automatically prepared based on reviews
The Helikon Patriot MK2 fleece receives high praise for its warmth, comfort, and thoughtful design. Users appreciate the numerous well-placed pockets, functional cut, and breathability, making it suitable for both everyday wear and outdoor activities. The MK2 is lighter and more fitted than its predecessor, which is a plus when layering but sometimes perceived as less insulating in extreme cold. The transition from Velcro cuffs to elastic bands and improvements in ventilation and material quality are widely noted. Some drawbacks include occasional issues with zippers, a smaller hood, and size deviations compared to the earlier model, prompting many to size up. While some regret the loss of the back pocket, they highlight the better pocket placement elsewhere. Overall, it stands out as a lightweight, functional, and warm fleece jacket that balances quality and functionality. Customers recommend it, especially for those seeking reliable thermal comfort in a practical and stylish package, but suggest paying close attention to sizing and considering extra layering in harsh winter conditions.

I highly recommend this fleece from the bottom of my heart. It is light, comfortable, and warm. The fleece is so pleasant that my fiancée also wanted to get one for herself. A big advantage of the fleece is the visor on the hood and the high collar.

The fleece is double-layered and therefore very warm. Unfortunately, it is cut somewhat strangely and the sizing runs small. It is nicely extended at the back, too short at the front, and the sleeves are also quite short. There seems to be some extra fabric around the torso, yet it still feels as if it were too narrow; the sleeve width feels the same way. Apart from that, the fleece is very comfortable, has a deep hood, and many useful pockets, although they are quite shallow. The plastic ends of the hood drawstrings are unfortunately positioned and, when the collar is zipped up, they dig into the neck. Although according to the size chart the size was right, unfortunately the sweatshirt turned out to be too small. The return was processed successfully and very quickly, for which Militaria.pl deserves praise. It is best to try on the Patriot mk2 in a store, or possibly choose a larger size.

The fleece is completely different from the first version. There is no pocket on the forearm, which made no sense, but the one on the back, which was sometimes useful, is gone too; instead, there are two on the hips. When the pockets are unzipped, unfortunately you can feel the cold, because inside them there is only thin mesh, just like under the arms. The fleece is durable and has a great cut, but it is much thinner than the original. I recommend choosing one size larger.

Great fleece, very warm and well thought out. Lots of spacious and useful pockets. It has a high collar that prevents wind from getting in. Soft, pleasant-to-the-touch material. The hood has a stiffened brim, so it does not cover the eyes. The fleece has an extended back, so it protects the back and kidneys well.

A very aesthetically pleasing and comfortable fleece jacket. It is pleasant to wear and provides nice warmth even at temperatures around 3 degrees. For everyday wear, at 197 cm tall and 95 kg in weight, I usually choose size XL, but this time, in accordance with the size chart, I decided on a larger one, and it was the right choice. The jacket is solidly made, and in person it looks even better than in the photos. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

The sweatshirt has a distinctly fitted cut — it fits the body well at the sides and under the arms. At the same time, it does not restrict movement at all; I really like the cut of the shoulders and sleeves, which Helikon often uses. Thanks to this, no excess material bunches up under my backpack straps or rolls up when I put it on. Freedom of movement remains complete even with a heavy backpack. I consider the workmanship to be solid. The material is warm and pleasant to the touch. I have not tested it yet during a longer hike, but I think that thanks to the ventilation openings it will perform well. Since I had a problem choosing the size myself, I will give my measurements: I am 174 cm tall, weigh 75 kg, and chose size EU-M. It fits me very well, and the sleeves are the right length with a small reserve. The only borderline element is the width at the bottom of the sweatshirt — I could use a few more centimeters of room there so that I could tighten it with the drawcords. In its current form it fits well, but when squatting the bottom has to stretch slightly. I consider this purchase successful. I have no comparison to the Mk1 version because I did not own it, but so far the Mk2 fully meets my expectations.

At this price, it is truly an excellent product. The material is very pleasant to the touch, and the pockets and all the openings are made flawlessly. I believe the two-way zipper is unnecessary, and sometimes it gets stuck while fastening, but apart from that I am completely satisfied.

In my opinion, this is a very successful sweatshirt — both the fabric and the cut make a great impression, and it is also really comfortable to wear. It feels well made and durable, which is a big advantage at this price.

Size: L
This is truly an excellent product! It works especially well during the transitional season and as a layer protecting against the cold under a hardshell, such as the Squall. The quality of workmanship is of a very high standard. It should be noted, however, that this jacket fits men with an athletic build better. At a height of 1.80 m and a weight of 95 kg, it turned out to be too tight. A great alternative is the PATRIOT Mk1, which thanks to its looser cut will also be suitable for people with a more solid build.

The fleece is very comfortable and warm, with a well-sewn hood. The numerous pockets make it easy to organize your gear, but the quality of the zippers is a downside. I hope this will be improved in the future, because if you were to wear it every day, it would become very annoying.

The fleece is great! Very warm, comfortable, and excellently made. It has plenty of pockets and velcro on the sleeves, so you can attach patches. Maybe it’s not the cheapest, but it’s really worth it.

At this price, this is probably the best fleece on the market. Comfortable, lightweight, warm, and fits very well. Lots of practical pockets, plus vents that prevent sweating during effort. I recommend size L, it fits perfectly for a height of 188 cm and a weight of 70 kg.

A very successful fleece, more comfortable and modern than the classic Patriot. It breathes well, provides warmth, and works both in the city and in the field.

I really like this fleece jacket. At first, I wanted to buy the mk1 model, but I wasn't happy with the hood in that version, so I chose the mk2 with the smaller hood, which I think is better. I am 188 cm tall and weigh 100 kg – size 3XL fits perfectly. If you plan to go trekking with a backpack, I recommend this fleece because it breathes great, and the zippers under the arms improve ventilation. On colder days, when I’m not active, for example when walking the dog, I wear it under a rain jacket, which together makes a very warm set.
