I decided to try something new and bought a shirt which isn’t the cheapest. What convinced me to buy it was mainly the colour – moss green really looks fantastic. Additionally, the texture of the material combined with this colour is very impressive. My first impressions after putting it on? The material is rather thick and 'fleshy', it’s a bit like flannel, which made me worry about overheating and sweating at work. However, it pleasantly surprised me – it wicks away heat very well and keeps a comfortable temperature. I also have the impression that the cuffs are a bit wider, making it easier to hide a smartwatch compared to, for example, the Defender Mk2 model. The price is high, there’s no denying it, but I think the product is worth it. The shirt is very well-made, the quality of the fabric is top-notch – I expect it will last me for years. And this unusual moss green… I highly recommend it to everyone who is hesitating!
A comfortable tactical shirt made of durable and abrasion-resistant material. It is ideal for any activity, both in the field and in the city.
The Defender Mk2 shirt is designed primarily for uniformed service officers, but also for active people who appreciate high quality and practical use. Its rather loose cut perfectly harmonizes with the anatomy of movement, low-profile ballistic vest or IWB (Inside the Waistband) holster.
With the addition of DuPont Sorona material, the shirt's fabric prevents unpleasant odors especially when hiking in hot weather.
A loop was sewn on the button bar, where you can conveniently hang your glasses. A small stiffening in the front part under the collar prevents it from rolling.
The shirt is equipped with four pockets arranged at chest level:
- two main ones, with flaps closed with Velcro, with access from the top,
- two Napoleonic ones located behind the main pockets, closed with a lightweight and durable zipper.
The Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) for the Defender Mk2 shirt is >50 and protects 98% against UV radiation.

The shirt in the Subdued Blue shade is very well made. It is airy, lightweight, and comfortable to wear. I can't yet confirm all the properties listed in the description, as I've only recently started using it. After a few hand washes with mild detergents, the shirt is no longer as soft as it was at the beginning. In my opinion, the price is too high – I wouldn't buy it again for that amount.

This is already my third shirt from this collection in the blue colour. It works great both for everyday wear and for outdoor activities. Size 2XL fits my figure perfectly: 188 cm tall and 100 kg in weight. I definitely recommend this shirt!
