Helikon-Tex PATRIOT Jacket Double Fleece Shadow Grey

The Helikon-Tex Patriot Jacket Double Fleece Shadow Grey 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 combines excellent thermal insulation with high comfort and practical 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 clever ventilation features, the Patriot Jacket is an excellent choice for airsoft, outdoor activities, bushcraft, military training and professional use.

Excellent warmth and optimum 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 fleece remains comfortable to wear, even during prolonged use.

The simple, classic fit offers plenty of freedom of movement without being restrictive. This makes the gilet suitable for wearing on its own or as an insulating mid-layer under a waterproof and windproof jacket.

For added durability, the elbows and forearms have been reinforced, reducing wear and tear in high-stress areas and making the fleece more resistant to prolonged use.

Designed for use in the field

During intense exercise, the underarm ventilation zips 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 conditions.

The spacious, ergonomic hood is adjustable with drawstrings and features a high collar and a soft peak that offer protection against the wind and cold. The adjustable 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 equipment or earplugs. There are also two upper-arm pockets that remain easily accessible even when wearing a rucksack or plate carrier. On the left forearm is a compact pocket for small EDC accessories. At the back is a large, full-length rear pocket accessible from both sides, ideal for carrying gloves, a hat, a map or other larger accessories.

Practical insights

The Shadow Grey version combines a modern, neutral look with the practical features of a tactical fleece jacket. This makes the Patriot Jacket suitable not only for airsoft and outdoor activities, but also for everyday use or work where comfort and warmth are important. Thanks to the combination of Heavy Fleece, smart ventilation and plenty of storage space, this fleece jacket is ideal for prolonged use on cold days.
