This garment came true to size. Is very well made and extremely comfortable to wear. The price is also excellent. It came very well packaged and the delivery was fast all so
Comfortable shirt made of quick-dry and stretchy material is ideal for any activity, both in the field and in the city.
The Defender Mk2 shirt is dedicated primarily to uniformed officers, but also to active people who appreciate high quality and practical use. Its rather loose fit perfectly harmonizes with the anatomy of movement, low-profile ballistic vest or IWB (Inside the Waistband) holster.
The lightweight and breathable fabric of the shirt is very suitable for hiking or everyday use in the city on warmer days. Mesh panels located under the armpits provide additional air circulation under the shirt. The ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) for the Defender Mk2 shirt is >30.
A loop is sewn onto the button placket, where glasses can be conveniently hung. A small stiffener in the front under the collar prevents it from rolling.
The shirt is equipped with four pockets arranged at chest level:
- two main ones, with Velcro closed flaps, with access from the top,
- two Napoleonic ones located behind the main pockets, closed with a lightweight and durable zipper.

The Helikon Defender Mk2 City shirt perfectly combines functionality and style. The material is pleasant to the touch, breathable, and carefully made. The cut ensures comfort when worn, and the shirt looks elegant both on a daily basis and during outdoor activities. The finish is of a high standard – definitely worth its price!

This is a very good shirt – bought a few weeks ago and recently put to the test on a trip to Italy. I was afraid of overheating because of the synthetic material, but it did not happen at all. In the heat of Tuscany (about 39-41 degrees), it performed excellently – it protects from the sun and copes better than shirts made of thin linen or cotton. I am really pleasantly surprised – the material is elastic and comfortable, and the double layers at the pockets do not cause any discomfort, including thermal discomfort. I am very satisfied and already thinking about buying another in a different colour.

The shirt was a great purchase – very comfortable, fits well, and the material is thin and pleasant to the touch. It is slightly elastic, so it does not restrict movement, and the sizes are appropriate. I can confidently recommend both the product and the shop.

The shirt is in a class of its own. It has a great quality-to-price ratio. It looks, I can confidently say, elegant, and at the same time is comfortable and breathes well. The ventilation panels under the arms do a great job. It works not only at work, on the range, but also for going out to town or for a social gathering.
-
An excellent shirt – both in terms of material, quality of workmanship, and the arrangement of pockets and mesh panels under the arms. The check pattern is universal, so the shirt can be worn not only to work or outdoors but also for a family gathering. The sizing is fine. A very successful purchase for a reasonable price.

The Helikon Defender shirt looks great. It is comfortable, lightweight and very attractive in colour. The mesh inserts facilitate ventilation and prevent sweating. The material is airy and stretchy, which makes it comfortable to wear. Two hidden, spacious zipped pockets are perfect for storing documents, phone or wallet. It is quite long, but thanks to the efficient size exchange system at Militaria.pl, you can easily choose the right one.

Nice, carefully made. The material is pleasant to the touch, providing comfort when wearing. In my opinion, there’s quite a difference between size L and XL. For now, I can recommend it.

The shirt is great. Size L fits perfectly for a height of 180 cm. Well made, light, with spacious and deep pockets. An additional advantage is a place for sunglasses. Fast order processing. I recommend it.

I recently saw the Helikon Defender Mk2 City - Cider Plaid shirt at a friend's, who praised it as a regular customer of the shop. I chose a different model myself, and he stuck with this one. The material is really excellent quality, and the size is perfectly matched. The sleeves are not too long like with some other manufacturers. Solid company, highly recommended.

The shirt is great, I chose the size perfectly, it's very comfortable, excellent for work in civilian clothes. This is already my eighth Defender model shirt. I'm giving 4 stars because the delivery was delayed. I ordered on Thursday evening, hoping it would arrive the next day as advertised, but it only arrived on Tuesday after the weekend.

I really liked this shirt. As usual with this manufacturer, the material is of high quality. I have been using their products for years. The size matches the measurements perfectly, so I chose the delivery option. The colour of the shirt is very nice, better than in the picture. I highly recommend it. The parcel arrived as planned.

The shirt is very lightweight and extremely comfortable to wear – you hardly feel it. Perfect for warm days, it doesn't overheat your body and additionally protects you from the sun. The chest pockets are practical. Overall, the shirt fits well and looks stylish.

The shirt is very comfortable and fits great, and thanks to the thin material you can hardly feel it on your skin. It is good for hot days because it does not cause overheating.
