Helikon-Tex CPU PolyCotton Rip-Stop Jacket - Olive Green
Military combat shirt with a CPU (Combat Patrol Uniform) fit in olive colour, featuring a two-way zipper. Made from PolyCotton RipStop fabric (60% cotton, 40% polyester), which is highly resistant to abrasion and tearing, and is also lighter and quicker-drying than 100% cotton fabric.
6 practical pockets, cuff adjustment
The combat shirt is equipped with 6 pockets: two slanted on the chest closed with velcro and two on each arm (one with velcro, one with a zipper). An advantage is the sleeve width adjustment with a velcro strap. Additionally, an extra layer of fabric is sewn onto the forearm, increasing its durability.
Zipper, ventilation holes
The combat shirt is fastened with a two-way zipper, additionally secured with a velcro-closed strip. Under the arms, there are ventilation holes with zipper adjustment. The inside of the collar lined with fleece enhances neck protection against the cold.
Velcro panels
Above the chest pockets and on the shoulders, velcro tapes are sewn, allowing for attachment of any emblems, such as the national flag, unit insignia, or so-called Morale Patches, enabling the combat shirt to have a unique character.

The Helikon-Tex sweatshirt receives excellent reviews for its strong stitching, durable fabric, and sensibly considered cut. Customers praise it for its comfort, functionality, and numerous useful pockets. The underarm zip ventilation is usually regarded as a key advantage, as it effectively helps regulate warmth. Other positives are the easy adjustment, comfortable fleece-lined collar, and effective camouflage, especially in woodland surroundings. Occasionally, the unusual zipper, wide sleeves, or oversized fit are mentioned, but the shop and size exchange process function very efficiently and without problems. In summary: the sweatshirt is versatile – suitable for trips out of town, for work, and for everyday wear, and the price-to-quality ratio and efficient shipping convince many to purchase it.

All good, good brand, great price, well packaged, quick delivery to UK. I ordered shadow grey, hope black colour is restocked as well - might order more of that as well.
-
The quality matches the price. I liked them. The size fits as expected. I order to Ukraine; I have not had any problems with orders yet. The price of this brand's clothing in Ukraine is two to three times higher.
-
The sweatshirt is well-made and can be used both as an outer layer on cooler days and worn under a jacket. The zippered underarm ventilation is an excellent solution, and the collar finished with fleece ensures high comfort. In my opinion, it will work not only for walks or trips out of town but also for work. It does not restrict movement. The size matches the description. The price is favourable.
-
The sweatshirt is nice, but unfortunately the sleeves are quite wide – that's the only drawback, but not serious enough to lower my rating. It’s warm, but you can also open the ventilation on warmer days.
-
Great sweatshirt, the buttoned collar works perfectly at the range so you don’t have to worry about a hot shell casing getting under your collar. You can wear a lot underneath, it does not restrict freedom of movement, and the additional vents make it easy to control the temperature. I definitely recommend it!
-
The shirt perfectly meets my expectations—it has spacious pockets and is very reasonably priced. It's great for me because its functionality is most important to me.
-
The sweatshirt is great, it has lots of practical pockets, which is why I chose and use it. It doesn’t restrict movement, it’s tactical – exactly what I was looking for.
-
Excellent camouflage for the forest, especially great in early spring. The material is a bit rustly, but it did not stop me from approaching an owl within two metres. The ventilation openings and the pocket layout are very practical. However, I would prefer the main fastening to use Canadian buttons.
-
Very nice sweatshirt. Navy Blue shade is a dark navy. It doesn’t restrict movement, yet it isn’t too loose. Has many useful pockets you need to get used to. Works great with SFU trousers in the same shade. I recommend.
-
Very nice sweatshirt. The colour Shadow Grey is a darker shade of grey. It doesn’t restrict movement, but at the same time isn’t too loose. It has many practical pockets, which take some getting used to. I recommend it.
-
A very modern military sweatshirt; I really like the collar trimmed with fleece; Velcro adjustment allows a good fit to the figure; practical vents under the arms; it is light and has lots of interestingly placed pockets, though there could be even more at the bottom; excellent colour; the material really does dry quickly.
-
Nice sweatshirt, although the sizing surprised me – I bought one that was too small. Big plus for Militaria for the quick exchange for a bigger size. Good quality product, and the price is lower than in brick-and-mortar stores. I recommend it.
-
The sweatshirt itself is great. At 173 cm height, size S turned out slightly too big, but it's still very comfortable and camouflages well. Highly recommended, especially for airsoft players.
