A very good and comfortable combat shirt, in my opinion one of the best available on the market. It is breathable, fits the body very well, and the build quality is of a high standard. The camouflage looks very good in person. The downside is that the pattern on the sleeves fades quite quickly, although even after a few washes it still looks quite good. The shirt is lightweight, dries quickly, and provides good ventilation.

A lightweight and durable tactical Combat Shirt, complementing the Modern Battle Dress Uniform (MBDU) field uniform. The sleeves were sewn from NYCO fabric(a blend of cotton and nylon), which is characterized by increased resistance to tearing and abrasion. The middle part of the sweatshirt, on the other hand, was sewn from TopCool, a stretchy and breathable polyester fabric, ensuring a proper fit and freedom of movement.
Both sleeves feature pockets secured with YKK zippers, additionally equipped with double velcro panels measuring 6 x 4 cm and 9.5 x 9 cm. These allow for attaching various emblems such as a flag, unit insignia, or morale patches, giving the sweatshirt a personalized character.
The cuffs are fastened with Velcro, so it is possible to adjust them and precisely fit the size to the thickness of the wrist. Hems in the elbow area act as additional reinforcement to protect against abrasion.
The sweatshirt has a high collar with a zipper closure. The collar stand is finished with a chin guard.

I wore this sweatshirt for the first time on open water on a very hot day, when it was nearly 40 degrees outside. Even so, I felt better in it than in just a t-shirt. The material is very breathable and does not restrict movement – it really is worth having.

I am very satisfied with the purchase of this Combat. I recently tested it at the shooting range under intense sunlight and it worked perfectly – the material is breathable, does not cause overheating, and is comfortable without restricting movement. I rate the quality of workmanship highly – both the stitching and the fabrics seem very solid. The wz.93 camouflage looks excellent, which is why I decided to buy a second one for my brother as well. At this moment, we are both very pleased with this choice.

The sweatshirt is quite expensive, but it offers a very high level of comfort. It is lightweight and wicks moisture well, while also retaining warmth effectively. The sleeves are initially stiff, but they become softer over time. In addition, it looks really great on the body.

A decent combat shirt — I chose size M at 180 cm tall and 75 kg, and it fits well, although the sleeves could be a bit shorter. The material is breathable and stretchy, but unfortunately it snags easily. I’m taking off one star because the camouflage on the sleeves wears off fairly quickly, which makes the shirt look washed out.

For those who are hesitating, I can only add that the hoodies are true to size, very comfortable, and look great. This is already another colour of the mcdu hoodie that I’ve bought, and I think that as soon as the sizes become available, I’ll order more models from this series.

The shirt fits the body well, has good ventilation, and is comfortable. The only drawback is that the fabric on the sleeves and shoulders feels somewhat stiff in direct contact with the skin, but I understand that this also gives it greater durability. At the reduced price, it is a good buy.

Great combat shirt. It is very solidly made, you can immediately feel the high quality, and at the same time it provides good ventilation. It is definitely worth having in your kit. Even with intensive use, it handles heavy strain well. I recommend it; it is definitely worth its price!

This is my first combat shirt of this type. The sleeves are a bit too long for me, and the material on them seems quite stiff. I’ll test it in use and then I’ll be able to judge it better. I bought it to go with other items in PenCott WildWood camouflage.

In my opinion, these are probably one of the best combat boots. This is already my second pair, and I’m unlikely to change my opinion about them. They are well made, breathable, dry quickly, and do not wear out quickly.

This is quite a good alternative to the combat uniform issued to the military. The material is pleasant and breathable. However, the downside is the more washed-out colours compared with clothing from the Ministry of National Defence, which makes the garment stand out from the rest of the uniform. In addition, the sleeve material and their length are a problem — at the bend it can bunch up badly and cause discomfort around the elbow, and the sleeves themselves are clearly too long.

After the first use at Gryf, the fabric started snagging, and after three washes the colour noticeably lost its intensity. I expected something better from Helikon. The combat uniform itself is comfortable, but it's a shame that now it's really only suitable for wearing under a vest, because without it it's honestly embarrassing to wear.

Very good hoodie – it is comfortable and fits great. The size chart on the website matches reality. It is a pity that Helikon does not offer equally attractive promotions on the other colours, because I would gladly buy another one. The standard prices are, however, quite high. Even so, I believe the product is worth its price.

A very good T-shirt for summer, light and breathable, so your back sweats less in it than in other models, such as a combat shirt. It is comfortable, stretchy, and fits the body well.

The Helikon combat shirt is above all very solid — the material on the sleeves is quite stiff and durable. It has ripstop, although it seems to me that even without it, it would be hard to tear. After two years of use, there are no visible abrasions or tears.
