MM14 camouflage
The name MM-14 is an abbreviation of маскувальний малюнок (maskuvalʹnyy malyunok = camouflage pattern) and the year 2014 when the camouflage was approved. The pattern is similar to the American UCP camouflage, but shades were chosen to match the natural colours of Ukraine. The introduction of MM-14 was an important step in the reform of the Ukrainian army, designed to move away from post-Soviet identification. MM14 camouflage is also unofficially known as Ukrainian Pixel Camo and Ukrainian Digital Camo.

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 :)

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 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.
