The jacket is of high quality. Good thermal insulation, the ventilation system also does its job. Unfortunately, the rubberized outer sleeve hook-and-loop fasteners come apart and need to be fixed somehow. In summary, the jacket is worth its price, especially during the promotional period :)
Pentagon Artaxes Jacket - Greek Lizard
Lightweight hooded jacket finished in Greek Lizard camouflage, crafted from robust Softshell fabric and featuring a StormTex membrane that delivers water resistance up to 8000 mm/m2 and breathability reaching 5000 g/m2. The exterior includes a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, safeguarding against moisture and grime. A lining of soft fleece made with Grid-Tech technology ensures comfort. Provides outstanding wind and rain protection while preserving excellent thermal insulation.
8 spacious pockets
Equipped with 8 functional pockets, the jacket offers versatile storage options:
- two pockets on the chest
- two pockets on the upper arms
- a single pocket located on the left forearm above the wrist
- two interior pockets, with the left featuring a dedicated headphone port
- one so-called “poacher’s pocket” situated at the back in the lumbar area
Every pocket is protected by a secure zipper.
Two-way zipper, ventilation openings
A two-way zipper from the renowned brand YKK serves as the primary closure. A protective fabric flap at the collar shields the chin from zipper pinching. Zippered underarm ventilation openings paired with a mesh lining enhance breathability and regulate temperature efficiently.
Adjustable hood, high collar, reflective element
A tall collar paired with an adjustable three-point hood ensures protection and comfort during rain and strong winds. Enhanced defense against the cold comes from Velcro-adjustable cuffs and drawcords located in the hood and at the hem. Increased visibility in low-light environments is provided by a detachable reflective patch on the hood.
Velcro panels
Velcro panels located on the shoulders enable the attachment of emblems such as national flags, unit badges, or Morale Patches, providing a personalized element to the jacket.

Greek Lizard Camouflage
Greek Lizard serves as the standard camouflage design utilized by the Greek Armed Forces, originating directly from the French Lizard pattern (Tap47) widely employed throughout the mid-20th century. The Greek adaptation was specifically modified and refined to suit Greece’s unique environment—predominantly mountainous, rocky terrain with sparse vegetation. The Greek Lizard camouflage features irregular, horizontal stripes in olive green, brown, and black set against a lighter background—typically sand or pale green. While maintaining the characteristic striped arrangement of the French predecessor, the colors have been optimized for Mediterranean landscapes. The Greek Lizard remained the primary camouflage for Greek field uniforms for many years and continues to be in active service today, particularly among ground forces.

The three-layer nylon membrane, which provides high breathability and water resistance, allows moisture formed on the skin to evaporate during exertion, while protecting against soaking during harsh weather conditions.
DWR (Durable Water Repellency) is a durable waterproofing treatment that increases the surface tension of water and creates a hydrophobic coating on materials. It protects the material from rapid soaking, improves drying, provides stain resistance and increases breathability.
YKK zippers are high-quality zippers commonly used in clothing and accessories, manufactured by the Japanese YKK Corporation - one of the world's largest zipper manufacturers.
Grid-Tech is a technology used in the production of materials used in outdoor clothing. It improves the breathability, lightness and flexibility of garments, while increasing their strength and resistance to mechanical damage. It is often used in thermal insulation layers, providing thermal comfort and effective moisture wicking during physical activity.

High quality workmanship, excellent thermal insulation and comfort both in everyday use and during outdoor activities. The jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain, and it works well in temperatures from light frost to spring days. A very practical solution is the large number of functional and spacious pockets, underarm ventilation, and an adjustable hood that can be tucked into the collar.

Great jacket! The Artaxes model from Pentagon is carefully made and seems very durable. I can wholeheartedly recommend this product. Pentagon, as always, maintains a high standard!

I really liked the Pentagon Artaxes jacket. It is made of high-quality materials, the seams are durable, and the whole thing looks solid. It is lightweight and comfortable, well-fitted, without unnecessary bulkiness. It looks very good and gives the impression of being resistant to tougher conditions. I haven't tested it in the rain yet, but judging by the quality of the workmanship and the materials used, I am convinced it will do well. Overall, I have a very good first impression of the purchase and I am glad I chose it.

Another jacket has arrived, this time in Olive color. A great jacket in many respects, above all very comfortable and lightweight. For me, the number and size of pockets is completely satisfactory. The jacket is perfect for spring and autumn. I have tested this jacket many times and none have ever let me down. I definitely recommend it.

I ordered XXL and XL, my weight is 97 kg, 180 cm tall, chest 115 cm. The XXL size is perfect. I suggest getting a larger one because the cut is rather for slim people. Honestly, I have a bit of a belly, but it's not too bad. The XL was tight and a sweatshirt under this size wouldn't fit, so please don't rely too much on the size chart, you simply have to try it on. As for the jacket, I am satisfied.

The Pentagon Artaxes jacket is a very solidly made and functional model, which works great on cooler days. The material is durable and protects well against wind and light rain, while remaining comfortable to wear. The cut is well thought out and provides freedom of movement, which I appreciate in everyday use. The pockets are practical and spacious, and the overall finish is refined in detail. The jacket fits the figure well and looks aesthetically pleasing. It's a good choice for people looking for a durable and comfortable jacket in a military style.
-
Nice jacket, quite light and still warm, but it doesn't perform so well when the temperature is around zero. Nevertheless, it's great for running around the woods with an ASG carbine.

I've had this jacket for over 5 years and the only thing that broke was the Velcro on the sleeve cuffs, which I fixed with fishing line and I'm still wearing it. I wear it in really tough conditions and it works great. I recommend it.
-
A very well-made jacket, which, thanks to the zippers under the armpits, allows you to regulate the temperature. The number and arrangement of pockets are a plus. Sizing is okay. The color is amazing. Bought on sale, which makes it even better.
-
So far I am very satisfied with this jacket – it seems durable and is comfortable right from the first wear. The pockets are spacious, you can easily store everything and keep it safe at hand.
-
Very decent jacket in a nice color. The number of pockets is satisfying, and the ability to regulate the temperature thanks to the zippers under the armpits. I had been thinking about buying a similar jacket for some time and I admit that the promotional price convinced me. It will work well in warmer months, but I tested it at minus 10 degrees with some extra clothing underneath and the walk was successful—I didn't get cold. Sizing is okay; at 185 cm and 129 cm chest, size XXL is just right with a bit of room in case you need to wear something underneath. Super fast shipping.
-
The jacket is quite cool. It serves its purpose, but the Velcro disqualified it. They don't hold and keep coming undone. You can't adjust the sleeve. The jacket is nice and practical, but unfortunately I had to sell it because of the Velcro.
-
I already have three of these jackets and decided to buy another one, but this time I got size M. A great jacket in many respects, above all very comfortable and lightweight. For me, the number and size of pockets is completely satisfactory. The jacket is perfect for spring and autumn. I have tested the jacket many times and none of them have ever let me down. I definitely recommend it.
-
The best purchase this year. The jacket is perfect. So far I've been using it in the city, for work, shopping, etc. I recommend choosing a size smaller if you are between sizes. The jacket is warm. With an additional fleece, it is warm even at temperatures around zero.
