This sweatshirt is quite different from traditional uniform sweatshirts. It’s been designed with a focus on maximum comfort and practicality – wide sleeves, a fitted waist, and elastic inserts. The pockets are positioned so that they work well with tactical vests. Plus, it’s now available at an attractive promotional price – it’s really worth having!
MBDU (Modern Battle Dress Uniform) cut buttoned military sweatshirt. It is made of abrasion-resistant NyCo Rip-Stop material. The anatomical cut and side inserts made of stretch VeraStretch material ensure proper fit, and freedom of movement.
The sweatshirt is equipped with four pockets:
- two chest ones closed with zippers,
- two on the sleeves at shoulder height.
Above the pockets have been stitched velcro tapes allowing you to attach any emblems, such as the national flag, the emblem of the unit or the so-called Morale Patches, so you can give the sweatshirt an individual character.
For better air circulation, mesh panels have been placed under the armpits to improve breathability.

Size: M
Great sweatshirt. It serves its purpose well. Plenty of pockets for storing personal small items. The material it is made of looks very durable. Dispatch from the shop was quick and hassle-free. I definitely recommend it.

Size: L
I really liked the Helikon-Tex MBDU combat shirt for its material quality and fit. The NyCo Rip-Stop fabric feels durable without being too coarse, so it is comfortable to move in and to wear for long periods throughout the day. The cut is comfortable, nothing pulls at the shoulders, and it does not get in the way when you raise your arms or work with gear. The MM14 camouflage looks very good and goes well with field trousers and other equipment. I especially liked the pockets and the overall thoughtful design of the shirt. You can organise your items properly, access to the pockets is convenient, and the hook-and-loop fasteners and hardware seem reliable. After several uses, the fabric keeps its shape, the seams are neat, and it does not feel like a cheap item. It may be a bit too heavy for hot weather, but for spring, autumn, training, the range, or trips into the countryside, it works very well. I am satisfied with the purchase; the shirt really looks well made and practical.

Size: M
Very good sweatshirt. It has a fitted cut, sits well and provides freedom of movement. The material is solid, densely woven, and resistant to abrasion as well as bites from various insects. I chose the Mud Brown colour because it was available at a great discount that was too good to pass up. Now I’m hoping for a price reduction on the green version or multicam so I can buy another one, because the regular price is definitely too high. Size M fits very well for someone who is 182 cm tall and weighs 78 kg.

Honestly, This is the first (part of 3 piece set as I also bought the matching top and pants) tactical/military gear so I don't have much comparison to go off however when compared to the other stuff I was able to touch before making my mind up this feels like the real deal. Very good quality, excellent print and should last a very long time. Very happy with my purchase(s) and shall be a returning customer soon :)

Great and practical sweatshirt, well-fitted and made of durable material. It's comfortable, even under a vest. I really like it and definitely recommend it – it's really worth having.

This Helikon MBDU NyCo Rip-Stop shirt in multicam black really is a top quality shirt. Very nice comfortable tailored fit, large discreet pockets on the chest plus decent size pockets on the arms. The breathable mesh under the armpits is a nice touch now the weather is warming up. I've got quite a lot of clothes by Helikon-Tex and it's always top quality gear and this shirt is no exception. I love it. Recommended.

Great and practical hoodie, very functional. The material is solid and the hoodie fits well. It is comfortable even under a vest. I am really satisfied with the purchase.

Great sweatshirt, definitely surpasses the SFU model. Although the material is also not stretchy, it fits better straight away and is more comfortable. Additional pockets would certainly be useful, but apart from that I have no complaints. Highly recommend, very practical item of clothing.

The Helikon MBDU NyCo Rip-Stop shirt is a fantastic product. The high-quality material and well-thought-out cut are impressive. Every element of the shirt is practical and carefully designed. It's an excellent alternative to a combat shirt and I definitely recommend it.

Very nice sweatshirt with a modern cut, practical pockets on the chest and sleeves, elastic side panels and ventilation. The wildwood camouflage looks excellent. I definitely recommend it.
-
Very good quality sweatshirt together with MBDU trousers makes a great set for Polish conditions. Camouflage tested in the Bug river region perfectly hides your outline in the spring-summer greenery. Nice cut and functionally arranged pockets.
-
Very high quality sweatshirt or jacket (outer layer). Mud and difficult terrain are no trouble for it. The material is extremely durable and well combined with light and breathable parts. The camouflage is really interesting.
-
A sweatshirt worth recommending, the solid material works well with elastic side panels. The arrangement of the pockets is very good. Unfortunately, the sizing is an issue – according to the table I should have chosen XL, but it turned out to be too tight (couldn't wear anything underneath). I bought XL and measured the same under the armpits (60 cm), only the sleeve length and total length of the sweatshirt changed. In the end, I returned the product.

Super sweatshirt! Thoughtful design, elastic elements and ventilation under the armpits. Large and practical pockets. The Helikon brand is a guarantee of high quality. Combined with trousers, it makes a great uniform. The pencott wildwood camouflage is ideal for Polish forests, fields and meadows in the spring-summer season. I am 182 cm tall, 104 cm chest and 88 cm waist – size L fits perfectly.
