The jacket is made of high-quality materials. It is warm, lightweight and provides good protection against wind. The hood proves to be very functional, and the collar is high and protects the neck well. The product fulfills its purpose perfectly. I am 185 cm tall, weigh 90 kg, and have an athletic build. Size L fits me perfectly – it is neither too loose nor too tight. I am very satisfied with this purchase.
Helikon-Tex Patriot Pro Fleece - Taiga Green
Hooded sweatshirt in a green shade crafted from innovative StormFleece fabric, which merges the benefits of both warm fleece and lightweight softshell materials. An excellent option for individuals seeking reliable cold insulation, perfect for daily wear, trekking, and a range of outdoor pursuits.
The incorporation of a dual-layer textile with varied properties delivers superior thermal protection while preserving low weight and a minimalistic construction.
Stormfleece fabric - warm fleece and lightweight softshell
Constructed with advanced StormFleece fabric, the model merges the benefits of two garment types within a single layer. As a result, the sweatshirt delivers reliable cold weather protection alongside exceptional comfort.
The outer layer utilizes a softshell-like material featuring a grid fleece design. Notable for its stretchability, it guarantees unrestricted movement during physical activity. It also boasts outstanding breathability, efficient moisture management, and superior wind resistance.
The interior is lined with soft fleece incorporating longer fibers that trap warmth effectively. The fabric is quick-drying and feels gentle against the skin. An optimal weight of 256 g/m2 provides excellent thermal insulation while maintaining a low overall weight.
five pockets for accessories and sturdy YKK zippers
Outfitted with five functional pockets, the hoodie ensures convenient storage options:
- a pair of side pockets
- a single pocket on the chest
- two inner pockets
Each pocket is fitted with robust YKK zippers enhanced with pull tabs, enabling effortless access and secure closure, even when wearing gloves.
fitted hood, Velcro panels on the shoulders
A snug-fitting hood offers dependable head protection, while a collar guards the neck against cold temperatures. Velcro panels positioned on the shoulders allow for secure attachment of patches or emblems. Designed with laser-cut slots, these panels facilitate the carrying of additional accessories, like pens.
two-way YKK zipper and elastic trimming
A two-way YKK zipper secures the fleece, while a snap fastener at the hem prevents unintentional unzipping. Elastic trims on the sleeves, hood, and bottom hem ensure a secure fit and deliver enhanced defense against wind and cold.

The fleece is very comfortable, warm, and pleasant to use. It is suitable for both everyday use and for trips. The color in the photo matches the real one. I highly recommend it.

The Polar is excellently made and very comfortable, and the hood with a visor fits perfectly—almost like a cap. It's incredibly warm, but that comes at a price: during any exertion, you sweat quite a bit in it. I feel like the breathability is limited given the thickness of the material. I have a size L and it's fitted, which is comfortable but may also reduce the airflow inside. Great for static activities or very cold days, but too hot for intense hiking.

I decided to return the fleece. Everything is fine, but the manufacturer skimped on the zippers—they work very badly, they are difficult to zip and unzip, and they function unevenly. The Velcro on the shoulders is also a bit much. Soon they’ll start sewing Velcro onto boxers and socks too.

I usually wear size L, but the M size sweatshirt is even a bit too big. Overall, I rate it very well. You feel warmth as soon as you put it on. Truly a revolutionary fleece, light and very warm. It has one flaw: the fastening at the neck is terribly irritating... maybe I'll get used to it...
