Helikon-Tex PATRIOT Jacket Double Fleece Black

The Helikon-Tex Patriot Jacket Double Fleece Black is one of the thickest and warmest fleece jackets in the Helikon-Tex range. This robust tactical fleece jacket is designed for use in cold weather conditions and offers an excellent combination of warmth, comfort and functionality. Thanks to its simple, classic fit, the jacket is suitable as an outer layer or as an insulating mid-layer within a layered clothing system.

With no fewer than six practical storage pockets, a spacious adjustable hood and a range of ventilation options, the Patriot Jacket is an excellent choice for airsoft, military training, outdoor activities and everyday use.

Maximum warmth thanks to Heavy Fleece

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 weather conditions. At the same time, the fleece remains comfortable to wear, even when worn for long periods.

The classic, slightly loose fit offers plenty of freedom of movement without being restrictive. This means the gilet can be worn on its own, over a base layer or under a waterproof and windproof jacket.

Designed for intensive tactical use

The Patriot Jacket has been designed for use in the field, with a focus on durability and functionality. The elbows and forearms have been given extra reinforcement to reduce wear and tear in high-stress areas.

Ventilation zips under the armpits make it easy to release excess heat during physical exertion. The gilet also features a two-way main zip, allowing ventilation to be further adjusted to suit the conditions.

The spacious, ergonomic hood features drawstrings, a high collar and a soft peak that offer extra protection against wind, cold and light rain. Both the cuffs and the hem of the jacket are adjustable, so the fit can easily be adapted to the layers of clothing worn underneath.

Smart storage solutions

The Patriot Jacket features a comprehensive storage system specially designed for tactical use. The two spacious chest pockets are fitted with cable grommets and internal attachment loops for items such as communication equipment or other accessories.

In addition, there are two pockets on the upper arms which remain easily accessible even when wearing a rucksack or plate carrier. On the left forearm there is an extra pocket for small EDC items that need to be quickly accessible.

At the back, there is a large full-length back pocket at kidney height, which is accessible from both sides. This so-called poacher’s pocket is ideal for carrying gloves, a hat, maps or other larger accessories.
