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.

Helikon-Tex MCDU Combat Shirt NyCo Rip-Stop - MultiCam
A functional and durable tactical Combat Shirt designed as part of the Modern Battle Dress Uniform (MBDU). The sleeves are made of NYCO fabric – a blend of cotton and nylon characterised by high resistance to abrasion and tearing. The central part of the shirt is made of elastic and breathable TopCool polyester fabric, which guarantees a good fit and full freedom of movement.
Shoulder pockets with YKK zips and Velcro panels
Both sleeves are equipped with pockets secured with YKK zippers, complemented by double velcro panels measuring 6 x 4 cm and 9.5 x 9 cm. These allow for attaching various types of emblems - from flags, through unit insignia, to morale patches. This gives the sweatshirt the ability to be personalized and tailored to the user’s individual preferences.
Adjustable cuffs, reinforced zones, collar with cover
The Velcro-adjustable cuffs allow for a precise fit to the wrist circumference. The elbow area has been additionally reinforced with stitching, which increases wear resistance in the most exposed areas. The design is complemented by a high collar with a zip, finished with a soft chin guard.

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.

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.
