Was looking around for a new fleece jacket and/or hooded sweatshirt for Wisconsin winter/spring time. Came across the Patriot Fleece jacket (http://helikon-tex.com/#BL-PAT-HF) from Helikon-Tex out of Poland. Looks pretty nicely made and functional. Anyone have any experience with this company or products?

They make some neat looking stuff dude. If you can swing it or trust dudes return policy I would take the chance.

Let us know how the stitching looks and if it blocks the wind (huge weakness of fleece).

I highly recommend a Hwesta -  helikon patriot (http://hwesta.eu/clothes--fleece-jackets--helikon-patriot/) jacket. The best I have ever had. The prices are also not so high.
