Helikon-TexPatriot Fleece Jacket Olive

Purchased this fleece in medium; I have a 40 inch chest and it is sized to go over a thick mid-layer, or as a generous fit over a base layer. Length and overall fit is excellent for a warm fleece, completely unrestrictive. The hood is great; it has draw cords but no volume adjustment, but fits me just fine and turns well with my head. Fleece feels like a felt, not as light or soft as Polartec but low bulk, soft and smooth; very warm and pleasant to wear. The fleece is wind-resistant, but as with any fleece you would need a windproof outer layer in a cold wind (perhaps their Level 5 jacket?). Front zip has a draught blocker lined with fabric to stop the zip catching, and there is a nice zip garage at the top. The pit zips open outwards from the middle, allowing a very small opening in the middle to be created - very clever. Pockets are high-level so as to be above a rucksack belt, so a little awkward to use as hand-warmers, but this is a technical jacket after all. For this price I am pleasantly surprised with all the features and the obvious quality.

After looking at many tactical fleeces,reading reviews etc,I went for the Patriot 1.What a right choice that was,quality wise its excellent,very well made and feels good too.Im 6.2'-46" chest,34"waist...I did order M at 1st and it fitted really well t-shirt underneath snug fit but,the arm length were just a bit to short for me 1.5" too short.It makes a difference when out and about.So went for L obviously not as tailored slim fit look but,still a nice fit and sleeve length is perfect..Ordered Woodland M then Coyote L.Both very nice but,Coyote I stuck with..Highly recommended fleece..

I bought this fleece mainly for the heavy weight - the fleece is extra thick and very warm. The hood is well sculpted, fitting snugly with adjustable cords. There are more pockets than I'll ever be able to use, located in convenient places (on the chest and several on each arm). The cuffs are also adjustable, fitting snugly to keep in all of the warmth. I have hardly taken this fleece off since receiving it and would love to buy one for my fiancée. Seems to be very well constructed, and I expect it to last for 10 years, making the price justifiable.

The Helikon Patriot Fleece is a very capable piece of clothing. I have worn it on cold days/nights for three years now and it has never failed me. I have been kept comfortable and warm by it on walks up mountains in the Lake District in gales with snow and ice all around; whilst watching sport in freezing stadiums on winter days; on country walks in freezing fog; on the way to and from work on days when it was -20 degrees celsius and so on. It is extremely comfortable, warm, well made and with all the zips (the ones on the main body of the fleece reveal deep pockets) you can store an assortment of items about your person which will be useful for your day out hillwalking, camping etc! Simply awesome. I have been very impressed by it. The one I’ve had is now a bit big so I’m about to order another as a replacement as the Patriot is the only cold weather fleece I would think of buying. If you get one I’m sure you won’t regret it.

Size is spot on for me. Absolutely brilliant outdoor jacket - keeps me toasty and warm while being very comfy and easy to move around in.I chose this on the recommendation of a friend who is ex-forces and swore by it - I can honestly say I understand why - very comfortable and does everything you need it to. I’d have no hesitation recommending it to anyone looking for a winter fleece jacket

This is a very chunky and warm jacket with two full length zips on the front so you can undo it upwards from the bottom as well as downwards. The upper zip on either arm will accommodate an iPhone 11. All the zips are well made and strong-the right arm only has one sleeve zip but the pockets on either side of the inside are huge but don't have zips. I naively thought with the Helikon name that it would be Scandinavian but it is 'Created in China'. I would not subject it to heavy rain but it is very warming in cold weather--5* in UK yesterday. The hood is not detachable so no cold spots there! It arrived very quickly within two days. It is size 2XL which is really an XL in UK/USA and that is what size I normally take. That will go over three thin layers that I was wearing underneath for my dog walk in the cold temperatures. I do like it and it certainly will be my 'Go To' jacket for hiking in this cold winter.

Es el segundo Patriot que compro como este, muy buenos materiales, resistente y muy calido. llego muy pronto y bien empaquetado. Vendedor muy recomendable, y Amazon como siempre de 10

Die Größe ist genau richtig angegeben und die Passform optimal. Wärmt sehr gut. Farbe genau der Abbildung entsprechend. Die Qualität macht erstmal einen sehr guten Eindruck. Denke ich habe noch lange Freude daran.

Giacca di ottima fattura, tante tasche anche se forse mancano due un po’ più in basso ma comunque comode anche poste sul petto. Porto solitamente una L per caccia, preso una M ed è perfetta. Tessuto caldo e soffice. Soddisfatto

Hält gut warm bis ca. 5 Grad.Wirkt Qualitativ hochwertige.Passt ganz gut, bin etwa 186cm und L passt von der Länge ganz gut ist aber ansonsten an den Armen zu groß.

Giacca molto comoda e molto calda, ideale per temperature molto basse e senza pioggia. Fate attenzione alle taglie, sono un po' abbondanti.
