Classic Army Fleece Jacket

It looks good, fits well, and is warm. The only thing I didn't expect, is that since it's made in Europe, the zipper is Bass-ackwards. Not a big deal, just different. The zipper itself stays on the left side and not the right. Other than that, the zipper functions like you would expect, it is a YKK zipper. Once I got used to it, I quickly realized it was an awesome Jacket!

Ex military so I like good gear. This thing is pretty awesome so far, well made, looks nice, feels nice. Not YKK zippers but they do seem to be good quality. It also has a nice type of lining on the inside, so it seems to block wind just a little more than a plain fleece, but that makes a pretty big difference in warmth.

I like this fleece very much. The fit is fine, although it is a bit long in the back. I will wash it a couple times before wearing it and since it is about to be summer I don't expect to wear it often until next fall/winter. However, the zipper is on the left side. It is weird. I have NEVER had a left handed zipper before. Not sure what they were thinking there, but that is a small issue that honestly does not bother me. It may be a deal breaker for some, so I removed one star for it's awkwardness. Be aware that it does ship from overseas, so it may take a couple weeks. Mine took about 8 business days, even with Prime.

I've only worn this jacket twice since it was delivered so will probably update. This jacket is very similar to fleece jacket I was issued from DRMO stocks. It does not have the big inside pockets that will fit an MRE, but has plenty of pockets for storage. I was able to fit my cell phone, wallet, small flash light and other odds and ends I carry in cold weather very comfortably. First night I wore it, it was raining and mid-40's. Jacket repelled water and stopped wind, was comfortable in those conditions while walking outside for five to ten minutes. Really like the collar as it stands up high, is adjustable, and really kept the wind off my neck.

If you are looking for a high quality, rugged fleece jacket that doesn't cost upwards of $200, then look no further. This simply is a first class jacket. It is superior to most of the offerings of LLB, LE, REI, etc. The fit is spot on. I wear a size 40 USA and the medium is a perfect fit. For the record I am 5'10.5" tall and weigh 166 lbs.The large may have worked, too, but it would have been a very loose fit. But something to consider if you plan to wear a thick sweater with it. This is not an insulated jacket, but the fleece is lined with a an inner layer of smooth, seemingly impermeable material. So, if you intend to wear it in cold weather it will need a sweater or other kind of layering. There are no interior pockets. Shipping could not have been any faster. It only took about a week from the time I placed the order for it to arrive from the UK. I live on the east coast. I am seriously considering getting one of their membrane coated jackets for wet weather.

This jacket fits me well. I wear a 3x us and this just fit me perfect even tho its 3x european. It is warm and well thought out, well constructed and cozy. I got the green and black and it sure looks good on me. I am tall 6'2 280 and it had plenty of length rides just below my buns

The tag says designed in Poland and crafted in China. Maybe leave the design part up to China as well they've gotten pretty good at it! This thing looks really good I like the contrast and it fits very well BUT The tag says designed in Poland and crafted in China. Maybe leave the design part up to China as well they've gotten pretty good at it! This thing looks really good I like the contrast and it fits very well not only does it have a completely idiotic DOUBLE zipper but it is also a left-handed zipper is that a thing in Europe? The zipper part is worse than the left-hand part which a person can get an accustomed to. It also has way too long of a collar I've never had a fleece that had such a tall collar so basically if you zip it up it goes all the way up to your chin and most people don't do that so you either have to leave it unzipped really far or fold the collar down which looks terrible. They were so close to making the nicest fleece on the market so close and instead they ruined it with a few details. You can't make this up.

First off, it arrived much quicker than expected. The only improvement I would offer is the zipper and the shoulder pocket on the left side (is that a European thing? Forgive me being an arrogant American, lol), and the zipper was a little tough to secure and pull. Outside of that, the jacket fit perfectly; I'm 6', 200 lbs. Moreover, it keeps you nice and comfortable.

Passt perfekt. Sitzt locker aber nicht labberig. Gute Verarbeitung. Gewohnte Qualität eben.

Helikon Tex es siempre sinónimo de calidad,tengo varias prendas y son fantasticas.

This classic army fleece is superb value for money, if it was the Danish company with the fox logo on it, you would be paying four times the amount and it wouldn’t be as warm or robust as this.. i compared it with the Helikon alpha grid fleece but chose this classic army for it was warmer, slightly longer in length and overall more substantial but for some reason Helikon decided not to use YKK zippers on this army fleece which are used on almost all of their jackets and trousers, however the zips do move smoothly and freely but just would have been nice to have the ykk zips. I am 6ft 2” tall with a 42 inch chest and the size large in this fits perfectly…not restricted unlike the tight cut of the alpha grid fleece. The army fleece also doesn’t look too military…and there are none of those Velcro patches .for everyday use or out in the field hiking or for bushcraft ect this black classic army fleece is hard to beat. Helikon- tex 👍🏻

Très bien pour un usage de tout les. Jour et j’adore toutes les poches

Très belle veste polaire, d'une excellente finition.
