Helikon-Tex Defender Mk2 Pilgrim Shirt - Fresh Blue
Blue shirt made from a durable blend of nylon and polyester with stretchy, quick-drying Sorona fibres. It's perfect for everyday wear and outdoor activities. The loose fit is compatible with body movement, as well as low-profile ballistic vests or IWB (Inside the Waistband) holsters.
High-quality material with UV protection, MBDU design
The material used in this shirt, with a grammage of 146 g/m2, dries quickly and features antibacterial properties and moisture-wicking ability, helping maintain comfort and a sense of dryness during use. The addition of DuPont Sorona prevents unpleasant odours, especially on hot days. The loose fit ensures full freedom of movement. The UV protection factor (UPF) in the Defender Mk2 shirt is >50, which means 98% effectiveness in protection.
4 practical pockets
The shirt contains four pockets located around the chest area:
- Two main ones, closed with a velcro flap, accessible from the top
- Two napoleon pockets, located behind the main ones, with a durable, lightweight YKK zip
Button closure, adjustable cuffs
The shirt is fastened with Canadian buttons, and the adjustable cuffs make it easier to fit the silhouette. There is a loop on the button placket, perfect for hanging glasses. The front part under the collar has a small reinforcement, preventing creases.
