This is the best fitting jacket of this type that I've had so far. It doesn't restrict movement, yet it fits close enough to block the wind. The jacket is extremely lightweight and surprisingly warm for its small volume. The hood also stands out with an excellent design – it stays in place and doesn't restrict visibility. The downside, however, is the rather crinkly material when you walk in it. I initially chose this jacket for nature photography, but because of the noise it makes, animals would probably hear me before I saw them. It's also worth paying attention to the sizes: I recommend ordering at least one size larger than suggested by the chart – according to the chart, size M is 102 cm in the chest, but actually the jacket measures around 95 cm (measured flat: 47–48 cm). I'm returning my jacket only to order a bigger one, because this is truly the most comfortable jacket I've had in years and I definitely want to wear it every day. If you don't need an exceptionally quiet outdoor jacket, it would be a pity not to buy this model ;-)

My partner is over the moon! So am I, because she looks like an army girl, unlike those people walking around in winter looking like a cross between a garbage bag and a sleeping bag... It's light, warm, and stylish.

The jacket is comfortable and relatively light, it works well during transitional seasons and on moderately warm days. Ideal for rain, easy to pack and carry, it does not restrict freedom of movement or increase the weight of the backpack.

The jacket is lightweight and takes up little space, and also comes with a bag for storage. At first, I was a bit skeptical about its insulating properties, as it's so thin, but I was pleasantly surprised. It fits snugly, so it's very warm and attractive. As described, the jacket is waterproof. Combined with a Helikon-Tex fleece sweater, I can wear it even in the coldest temperatures – I highly recommend it to those who tend to get cold easily!

The jacket is warm and functional, but it has one huge downside. Even though it fits in the chest, it is very narrow in the hips—it's a pity that the size chart only gives the chest measurement, a hip measurement would be useful too.

Honestly, I was guided by wanting to buy something good and Polish at the same time (to support our brands). This is my first purchase from Helikon but definitely not my last. The jacket is tailored for women, fits perfectly, thin but warm. I recommend it.

The jacket is warm, lightweight, easy to pack and compress. And probably comfortable, but... the size turned out to be a bit too small. Currently in the process of exchanging it for a bigger one. Since I have the men's version, I know that it is very useful for forest trips on cooler days. Interesting camouflage pattern.

The jacket works perfectly as a layer under the MON gore-tex. Compact and very easy to transport thanks to the pouch included, so it takes up little space in the backpack. Although it looks thin, it holds warmth and blocks wind. I recommend it.

The best jacket! Warm, very light, and when folded takes up little space. Good for the forest, fishing, nordic walking. Will be useful for cycling on cold days. I used it in above-zero temperatures, but I think it will work below zero if you dress in layers and wear warm merino underwear. I do not recommend it for rain. Otherwise - excellent.

The color is a fairy tale. Sizing is good. My wife is happy. She looks amazing in it. As for the weight, it's a joke. It's not just light, in my opinion it weighs nothing. I must obviously buy the men’s version for myself. I recommend it!

The jacket is very light, comfortable, and at the same time warm – combined with a fleece or other 'base layer' it is absolutely enough for temperatures around 0 degrees. It covers the lower back, and the length is just right. The size is fine – I usually wear M and it fits.

The jacket was tested for one day in the following weather conditions: one hour of rain, then an hour without precipitation, and this alternated throughout the entire day. I confirm everything stated in the product description. It protects against even moderately heavy rain and dries very quickly. After packing it into the included pouch, it becomes ultra-compact, and putting it in is no problem at all. It also protects from wind much better than I expected, considering how thin it is... It keeps you warm at a good level in my opinion, and I'm someone who is always cold. Definitely worth buying. Sizing matches the description.

The jacket is very light and perfect for winter. I wore it on a mountain expedition, and its advantage is that it fits in a backpack.

The jacket makes a great impression, excellent quality!

Well-made jacket, warm and very light, good job Helikon, I recommend it.
