Helikon Patriot Fleece - Olive Green

Warm, soft, zippered sweatshirt fleece with a spacious hood with visor. The 380 g/m2 material provides thermal insulation for even the most severe frosts while allowing excess heat and moisture (sweat) released during exercise to escape. Increasing breathability and thermal exchange with the environment is facilitated by, zippered, underarm vents. The opening and closing directions of the zippers are chosen so that the owner will have no trouble operating them independently.

Thanks to the generous cut a thinner sweatshirt can be worn under the sweatshirt, but even a bulletproof vest will fit. The rear part is slightly elongated to protect the kidneys from being blown up, but the whole jacket is quite short - mainly to provide unobstructed access to pockets and equipment carried on the belt of the pants. 

The jacket has six pockets:
- two chest ones closed with zippers,
- two on the sleeves at shoulder height,
one on the left sleeve above the shoulders. - one on the left sleeve above the wrist,
- one so-called poaching - on the back under the cross with two independent accesses - from the right and left side.

The shoulder pockets have a soft velcro (Velcro) allowing to attach a properly prepared patch.

The hood is spacious enough to wear over a head already protected by a cap. It has a soft visor that protects the wearer from water running directly onto the face. The hood is sewn to the collar in such a way that the lining does not expose the neck. In this way, the wearer is protected from screeching in particularly sensitive areas.

The sleeves from wrist to elbow have been reinforced with a strong material, while the elastic cuffs have been replaced with a velcro fastening patch, allowing the size to be adjusted depending on the thickness of the wrist, as well as whether the wearer is also wearing gloves or, for example, a watch.

In order to protect the body from hypothermia due to airing or getting wet, ECWCS clothing should be used.
