Helikon Tex Patriot Jacket MK 2

New version of the iconic Patriot Jacket

After many years, the well-known Patriot Jacket gets a new version: modern, smarter, with a better design. We are really happy with the incredible popularity of the first version, but the time has come for this classic to evolve. The Patriot Jacket Mk2 is made of a new Hybrid Fleece material (340 g/m2) that reduces weight and improves breathability while maintaining warmth parameters similar to the first version. We removed the redundant elements and added several innovations and that’s how the Patriot Jacket Mk2 was created.

Fleece: light and warm at the same time

The Hybrid Fleece material has two different layers. On the outside, it resembles a classic fleece, but on the inside, it's a grid fleece, known from Alpha Hoodie and Alpha Tactical Jackets. It is a material with a characteristic fine check structure of thicker, raised square pieces and thinner gaps in between. This makes the Patriot Mk2 lighter and more breathable, while still keeping you warm. Zippered vents under the arms help with thermoregulation.

Better design and practical pockets

All the necessary things can fit in seven pockets. Two at chest height and two new pockets below, on the hips. The user has more freedom in arranging things in the pockets. He can also keep his hands as comfortable as possible. In addition, two pockets on the shoulders and one inside pocket. Following the customer's suggestions, we resigned from the back pocket at the height of the kidneys and the small pocket on the left forearm. Tactical clothing should be functional and comfortable, so we focused on a more modern design of the jacket and its hood. Patriot Jackt Mk2 is more fitted and does not restrict movement. An additional upgrade is the laser-cut hook & loop panels on the shoulders with the pen slots.
