Helikon-Tex Patriot Hoodie Mk 2 - Hybrid Fleece - Olive Green

The iconic Patriot fleece sweatshirt in a new look.

After years, the well-known and appreciated Patriot fleece lived to see a new version - it is more modern, better tailored and more thoughtful. The incredible popularity of the first version makes us very happy, but the time has come to modernize this classic. The Patriot Mk2 fleece hoodie has been sewn from a new 340 g/m2 Hybrid Fleece material, which reduces weight and improves breathability while maintaining warmth performance similar to the first fleece version. Redundant elements were also removed and several innovations were added. Thus, the Patriot Mk2 was created.

A fleece that is lightweight and warm at the same time

The Hybrid Fleece material used consists of two layers of material with different properties. On the outside it resembles a classic fleece, while on the inside it is a so-called grid fleece well known from Alpha Hoodie and Alpha Tactical sweatshirts. It's a material with a characteristic fine grid structure, which consists of thicker, convex square fleece elements and thinner gaps between them. This makes the Patriot Mk2 lighter and more breathable, while still being warm. Thermoregulation is provided by zippered underarm vents.

Better cut and practical pockets

Seven pockets accommodate all the things you need. Two at chest height and two new pockets below, on the hips. This gives the wearer more freedom to arrange things around the pockets. He can also hold his hands as he is comfortable. In addition, there are two pockets on the shoulders and one inside pocket. In accordance with customer suggestions, we have dispensed with the rear pocket at kidney level (the so-called poaching pocket) and the small pocket on the left forearm. Tactical clothing should be functional and comfortable, so we opted for a more modern cut of not only the sweatshirt, but also the hood. The Patriot Mk2 fleece is more fitted and does not restrict movement. An additional improvement is the laser-cut Velcro panels on the shoulders with pass-through pen slots.
