A comfortable tactical shirt made of durable and abrasion-resistant material. It is ideal for any activity, both in the field and in the city.
The Defender Mk2 shirt is designed primarily for uniformed service officers, but also for active people who appreciate high quality and practical use. Its rather loose cut perfectly harmonizes with the anatomy of movement, low-profile ballistic vest or IWB (Inside the Waistband) holster.
With the addition of DuPont Sorona material, the shirt's fabric prevents unpleasant odors especially when hiking in hot weather.
A loop was sewn on the button bar, where you can conveniently hang your glasses. A small stiffening in the front part under the collar prevents it from rolling.
The shirt is equipped with four pockets arranged at chest level:
- two main ones, with flaps closed with Velcro, with access from the top,
- two Napoleonic ones located behind the main pockets, closed with a lightweight and durable zipper.
The Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) for the Defender Mk2 shirt is >50 and protects 98% against UV radiation.

The fabric of this shirt is significantly different from the Gentleman and Tropical series. The flannel is soft and keeps warmth well. Additionally, it doesn’t need ironing. Size S fits a person 180 cm tall and weighing 80 kg.
-
A shirt worth recommending. Although it has a simple design, it is very practical. The fabric seems durable and resistant to damage. It dries quickly and doesn’t require ironing. The pockets are placed in a typical arrangement. The whole thing is carefully made.
-
A beautifully made shirt in an attractive, warm check. The material isn't thick, so the shirt is light and comfortable, and moves well with you. Despite the addition of synthetic fibres, it doesn't overheat the body and doesn't hold onto sweat odours, even during physical activity. It dries quickly after washing. It has a functional cut and four pockets, including two discreetly closed with zips – handy for documents and other small items.
-
The shirt is very pleasant to the touch, warm and practical thanks to the handy pockets. The colour is even nicer in person than in the photo, which was a pleasant surprise. Size S fits perfectly on a person 167 cm tall and 73 kg.
-
186 cm / 70 kg. Size M in this model was a bit too big; S fits better. I also ordered another model, MBDU, and there size M is fine – that cut is more fitted. The shirts seem sturdy and are pleasant to the touch.

A brilliant shirt, or rather a sweatshirt – my third in the Def.mk2 style, this time the warmest and thickest. People familiar with this cut know that no elaboration is needed. The fabric is moderately stiff, slightly rustling, but pleasant to the touch. It's unlikely to absorb unpleasant odours, so you can wash it less often. It served excellently during changeable weather in the Karkonosze mountains – even when sweating, I didn’t feel the need to take it off. The shirt attracts attention with its beautiful, rusty check pattern, both in the forest and near rocks. Even my wife is impressed. Standard XL size for 184 cm and 100 kg fit perfectly. It's a great choice, especially bought in the summer sale.

I bought the Helikon Defender Mk2 Pilgrim - Ginger Plaid shirt in your shop a month ago. It's been great so far. The colour stays vibrant even in the sun and doesn't pill after washing. The material is very resistant to damage – I recommend it!
-
This is the second shirt of this model that I’ve bought – this time in a smaller size as a gift. The recipient is also very pleased. It’s a great shirt.
-
The shirt is perfectly designed, fits movements well and doesn't restrict freedom at all. As you would expect from Helikon, quality is top-notch, and the functional pockets and loop for glasses make it even more attractive. The shirt hardly wrinkles, so it is suitable for more formal occasions too. Highly recommended!
-
The shirt deserves five stars. Made from durable, comfortable material. The workmanship is very good and the practical pocket layout makes it a great choice for everyday use. I recommend it!
-
Another excellent Helikon shirt, matching the GreyMan series. Great cut and material, does not require ironing. The pockets are well designed. The price is high, but it goes hand in hand with very good quality.
-
This is already my second shirt from this series. A very interesting model and in my opinion the material is fine. For my build (188 cm / 105 kg) size XXL is perfect. The cut and durability of the shirt are top notch. I recommend it!
-
The workmanship and material quality are at a very high level. The shirt has a good cut and several functional pockets. The colour and pattern look much better in person than in the photos. Size XL is ideal for 182 cm and 100 kg. I definitely recommend it!
-
The shirt looks even better in person than in the photos. It has a practical cut, the material is very pleasant to the touch, and quite thick – great for cooler days. Highly recommended.
