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.

I really liked this fleece. At first, I was thinking about buying the mk1 version, but I didn't like the hood on that model; I definitely prefer the smaller hood from the mk2. I'm 188 cm tall and weigh 100 kg, and the 3XL size fits me perfectly. If you're planning hikes with a backpack, this fleece is great, because it's breathable and has zippers under the arms that improve ventilation. On colder days, when I'm less active, like when walking the dog, I wear this fleece under a waterproof jacket—they provide a lot of warmth together.

I recommend this product – it is warm and fits well :) It works great during colder days, perfect for camping, outings or relaxing at home. My only complaint is about the hood – it's a bit too tight, but it still serves its purpose well.

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

I don't know if there's anything bad you can say about Helikon's products. Bought mainly for cycling during colder days. I am extremely satisfied with this product; numerous mesh pockets and additional vents guarantee that you won't get sweaty during intense pedaling, and the fact that you don't have to unfasten the front ensures you won't get chilled by the wind. If someone is looking for a good fleece, I can definitely recommend this one.

I bought the Helikon-Tex Patriot Mk2 fleece and was positively surprised by its quality. The only thing I can complain about is the slightly stiff zipper. Other than that, I'm happy with my choice and the shipping was express!

Polar worth recommending, everything as described. I am pleasantly surprised. Perfect for colder days and not only. Comfortable and, what’s nice, it has a lot of pockets.

The fleece is not as warm as its military, basic predecessor, in my opinion it is more breathable. The hood is described as spacious, so you can put a hat under it. Unfortunately, this may be true for people without a neck; if you have one, the brim of the hood sits on the top of your head. You could try pulling it on, but then it gets really tight at the back of your neck. It’s missing about 7 cm. The hood adjustment elastic broke after a week of use. It's not a big deal, but in such a fleece, it doesn't look good.

I have been using the Polar for 9 months and I can honestly recommend it. It is comfortable, very warm, and pleasant to the touch. Compared to the previous version, it is definitely slimmer, so it will suit slimmer people more. It is also thinner, but thanks to the honeycomb-structured lining inside, I haven't noticed it being any colder than the original. I’m happy to wear it both when going out in the city and in the forest.

I went for the 2nd version because the new one is still too expensive. Nice fleece, very warm, works well for those spring days when it's warm and cold. It's not a regular fleece, it already has this new checkered pattern on the inside, so it's not as thick as an ordinary fleece, but it keeps you nicely warm. I recommend waiting for a promotion before buying. The zipper is okay, although you have to struggle a bit to fasten and unfasten it, it's because of this double zipper that you have to line up evenly from bottom to top to close. For now, that's the only downside. I recommend it.

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

I hesitated a bit before choosing this fleece, I was aiming more for the PRO version, which seemed to fit UHS better, but in the end I decided on this one. It’s fairly roomy, so if you want to wear it under a jacket, either get a smaller fleece size or a larger jacket size (than usual). It holds warmth well, but with stronger gusts of wind a softshell is useful with it. I’m satisfied :)

I really liked this fleece sweatshirt. At first, I considered buying the mk1, but I decided against it because of the hood—the mk2 version has a smaller one, which suits me better. I am 188 cm tall and weigh 105 kg, and the 3XL size fits perfectly. If you plan on hiking with a backpack, this fleece will work great because it breathes well and has zippers under the arms for extra ventilation. On colder days, when I'm doing less demanding activities like walking the dog, I wear it under a waterproof jacket—they make a very warm set together.

I chose the Patriot Mk2 because I was looking for a single fleece jacket that would work both for daily use and during longer stays outdoors. It has practically become my main outer layer. This is the kind of model you put on 'for a moment', and then it turns out you're wearing it for the third day in a row because it just does its job so well.
