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!
Military type sweatshirt MBDU (Modern Battle Dress Uniform) with button closure. Made of abrasion-resistant NyCo Rip-Stop material. 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 zippered pockets,
- two on the sleeves at shoulder height.
Above the pockets sewn ribbons velcro 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.
To ensure good air circulation, there are mesh panels under the arms to improve breathability.

Review summary
The Helikon MBDU shirt/jacket receives very positive feedback for its high build quality, durable Rip-Stop fabric, and modern comfortable cut that allows easy movement, even under a vest or with a backpack. Users praise the practical roomy pockets, elastic side panels, good ventilation, and effective camouflage patterns that perform well in woodland and open terrain. The garment stands up well to heavy use, mud, and abrasion while remaining breathable and comfortable over long periods. A few reviewers note that the fit is quite tailored, sizing can be inconsistent, sleeves may come up slightly long, and the shirt can feel too warm in hot weather. Even with these minor drawbacks, most buyers strongly recommend it as practical and reliable tactical and outdoor clothing.

Really good quality uniform shorts with the original black military camo pattern. They have breathable panels on both sides and are very comfortable and light.

Size: XL
The Helikon-Tex MBDU NyCo Ripstop sweatshirt in MultiCam Black is a really sturdy shirt and super comfortable to wear. It also looks absolutely great. The hook-and-loop fastenings at the ends of the sleeves are finally long enough to adjust them nice and tight. On me, at 184 cm and 85 kg, size XL fits perfectly. It sits close without feeling tight or hanging loosely. The only thing is the button placket isn’t my friend; it’s too stiff for me to use easily—so I leave the buttons done up and pull it on over my head. ;-) Definitely a purchase recommendation from me.

The jacket fits perfectly (6'2", 187 cm, 85 kg), is comfortable and practical (lots of pockets and adjustment options). The Pencott camouflage is perfectly suited to my region (Brittany, France) in woodland and countryside during spring and summer. I recommend it!

Size: 3XL
I bought this jacket mainly for trips into nature, and it turned out to be the right choice. Its durability is first-rate—it handles all kinds of terrain and weather conditions without so much as a scratch. The pockets are spacious and practically placed, so they comfortably fit a map, a phone and small travel essentials. The colour seems perfectly chosen to me—it looks great outdoors while also being sufficiently visible. I’m extremely satisfied with it in every respect and can only warmly recommend it.

This is a very good, practical and functional sweatshirt. It fits very well, and the material is highly durable. It is comfortable even when worn under a waistcoat. I am very pleased with it and sincerely recommend it, because it really is worth it.

The sweatshirt is very solidly made, excellently cut and well thought out. The chest pockets can be accessed from the side, which makes them convenient to use even while wearing a tactical vest.

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.

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.
