Helikon-Tex PATRIOT Jacket Double Fleece OD Green

The Helikon-Tex Patriot Jacket Double Fleece OD Green is one of the thickest and warmest fleece jackets in the Helikon-Tex range. This robust tactical fleece jacket has been designed for use in cold weather conditions and offers an excellent combination of warmth, comfort and functionality. Thanks to its classic, slightly loose fit, the jacket can be worn either as an outer layer or as part of a layered clothing system.

With a spacious, adjustable hood, six practical storage pockets and ventilation options, the Patriot Jacket is a reliable choice for airsoft, military training, bushcraft, outdoor activities and everyday use.

Excellent warmth and plenty of freedom of movement

The Patriot Jacket is made from Heavy Fleece with a fabric weight of 380 g/m². This thick and soft fleece fabric offers high thermal insulation and effectively retains body heat in cold conditions. At the same time, the fabric feels comfortable against the skin and is suitable for prolonged use.

The simple, classic fit offers plenty of freedom of movement without being restrictive. This ensures the gilet remains comfortable during intense activities and can easily be layered with thermal clothing or a water- and windproof outer layer.

The elbows and forearms have been given extra reinforcement to minimise wear and tear on areas subject to heavy use, thereby further extending the lifespan of the fleece gilet.

Designed for practical use in the field

During intense exercise, the ventilation zips under the armpits help to quickly dissipate excess heat. In addition, the Patriot Jacket features a two-way main zip, which allows ventilation to be easily adjusted to suit the weather conditions.

The spacious, ergonomic hood is adjustable with drawstrings and features a high collar and a soft peak. This provides better protection for the head, neck and face against wind, cold and light rain. The cuffs with Velcro fastenings and the adjustable hem also ensure that the jacket fits snugly against the body and retains heat more effectively.

The Patriot Jacket features a comprehensive storage system. The two spacious chest pockets are fitted with internal attachment loops and cable grommets for communication devices or earphones. In addition, there are two upper-arm pockets that remain easily accessible even when wearing a rucksack or plate carrier. On the left forearm there is an extra pocket for small EDC accessories. At the back, there is a large, full-length rear pocket that is accessible from both sides and is ideal for carrying gloves, a hat or a map.

Practical insights

The OD Green version is particularly popular amongst airsoft players, military personnel and outdoor enthusiasts due to its natural colour, which blends in perfectly with wooded and green surroundings. Thanks to the combination of Heavy Fleece, clever ventilation and plenty of storage space, the Patriot Jacket is ideal for prolonged use on cold days.
