Combat shirt in MultiCam camouflage, sewn according to the design of MBDU (Modern Battle Dress Uniform). Made from durable NyCo material, additionally reinforced with Rip-Stop weave. The anatomical fit and side elastic inserts made of VeraStretch fabric ensure a fit and full freedom of movement.
NyCo material, rip-stop weave, and elastic VeraStretch panels
The shirt is made from durable NyCo fabric, combining the strength of nylon (52%) with the breathability and softness of natural cotton (48%). This material is further complemented by a Rip-Stop weave, preventing tearing, and increasing resistance to mechanical damage.
In the side parts of the shirt, there are elastic inserts made of VeraStretch material, which increase freedom of movement and wearing comfort, especially during dynamic activities.
four practical pockets
The model is equipped with four pockets:
- two on the chest, fastened with zips

button closure, collar with velcro, adjustable cuffs
The shirt fastens with buttons and is equipped with a collar that can be raised and secured with Velcro. The sleeve cuffs are also fitted with Velcro, allowing their adjustment and fitting to the wrists or worn gloves.
velcro and mesh panels
Above the pockets and on the shoulders are velcro panels, allowing the attachment of various patches or emblems, e.g., a national flag, unit insignia, or so-called Morale Patches. For better air circulation, under the arms are mesh panels, enhancing breathability.

MultiCam camouflage
MultiCam is a state-of-the-art camouflage pattern developed in 2002 by US company Crye Precision in cooperation with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs) as part of the Objective Force Warrior program. Its goal was to create a versatile camouflage pattern that is effective in varied terrain and changing environmental conditions. The MultiCam pattern consists of seven colors, creating gradient transitions between shades of green, brown and beige. As a result, it dynamically adapts to the background, adopting shades of green in forested areas or browns and beiges in desert regions - in Central and Eastern European environments, it works particularly well in autumn and among dry vegetation. MultiCam has gained worldwide recognition and is used by numerous armed forces and special units. In 2010, the camouflage was officially adopted by the US Army as the camouflage pattern for soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, replacing the earlier Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). The pattern is also available to civilian users, making it a popular choice among military or airsoft enthusiasts.

Size: L
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.

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.

The sweatshirt is great, the material and workmanship are of a high standard. The sleeves are a bit too long, but thanks to the adjustable cuffs, this isn't a problem. At a height of 173 cm, weight of 80 kg, and a chest circumference of 108 cm, size L fits loosely and does not restrict movement. I recommend this product – it’s a Polish company’s item, carefully and solidly made.
