You can immediately tell this is Helikon – great craftsmanship. At first, the material seems stiff, but after a short time wearing it, it becomes comfortable. Big plus for the pockets, which are perfect for documents or a small first aid kit.

UCP camouflage
UCP (Universal Camouflage Pattern) is a digital camouflage pattern introduced in the early 21st century, replacing US Woodland and Desert. It combines camouflaging functions in forest, desert, and urban environments by blending shades of green, beige, and grey. The arrangement of spots is based on the MARPAT pattern, and the pastel, low-contrast colours form a pixelated micro-pattern that blends well into the surroundings at short distances, creating a uniform silhouette from a greater distance. UCP was highly effective in infrared, which contributed to its implementation but was ultimately replaced by OCP camouflage based on the MultiCam pattern.

In my opinion, this is not a perfect ACU copy, because you can notice slight differences in the finish and the composition of the material, but for this price, it's still a great buy.
