Helikon Defender Mk2 PolyCotton Ripstop Long Sleeve Shirt - Pine Green

A functional and comfortable long-sleeved tactical shirt in Pine Green, designed for uniformed services and active individuals who value practical solutions and high quality. The loose fit works well with the natural dynamics of movement and works well with a low-profile ballistic vest or IWB (Inside the Waistband) holster.

PolyCotton material reinforced with Rip-Stop

It is made of PolyCotton fabric with a grammage of 155 g/m2, which is a combination of durable cotton and polyester. The addition of 2% elastane ensures greater flexibility and comfort of use. The Rip-Stop weave reinforcement increases resistance to abrasion and mechanical damage, making the shirt suitable for both field and urban use. Mesh inserts under the arms improve ventilation and increase comfort during intense exercise.

4 spacious pockets

The design includes 4 spacious pockets located at chest height:

  • two main pockets with Velcro flaps, accessible from the top
  • two Napoleon pockets located behind the main pockets, closed with lightweight and durable YKK zips

Button placket, loop, reinforced collar

The main fastening is a button placket with a loop for hanging glasses. Stiffening in the front under the collar prevents it from rolling up and improves the overall look.

    This is a very good shirt. I got the pine green, which is a darker colour than the usual army shades, so a bit less military looking. You can use it travelling on holiday or on the high street. The material is lighter in weight than I expected, so could even be used in warm weather. The zipped pockets are ideal for keeping things like your wallet or passport secure, and the main pockets are quite spacious for bulkier items. The underarm vents are a nice touch. I also like that the collar design means it stays more upright.

    This is the best shirt I have ever owned. If it was available in about ten different colours, I would buy each one. It's a pity the colour selection is so limited. Other colour versions from Helikon are only available in polyester shirts, which I don't like. This model is extremely comfortable and the style and look are great.

    As always with Helikon products, the quality is very high. The shirt is comfortable to wear and still looks good after washing, with no signs of wear. If I need another colour or size, I will choose this model again.

    This is an elegant and very comfortable everyday shirt. It fits the figure very well but isn’t too tight. The material is pleasant to the touch and doesn't irritate the skin. An additional plus is the affordable price.

    Helikon as always delivers the highest quality. This is already my second shirt from this brand and I will definitely buy another. At 190 cm tall, 100 kg weight, and 120 cm chest, size XL fits perfectly. Sleeves are long enough even for long arms, and the shirt doesn't pinch or chafe anywhere. It's a pity it's not available in more colours, for example blue. Other Helikon models are made of polyester, but here the material is great—warm even on cooler days. The shirt is suitable for every occasion, both for the woods and outings. For appearance I give the maximum rating. I usually don’t wear shirts, but I put this one on with pleasure for many occasions. The fantastic, closing internal pockets are new to me. Highly recommend.

    Good shirt – nice colour, comfortable material. It's not too thick, so it's also suitable for summer. It works great thanks to plenty of pockets – this is already another colour of this series in my wardrobe.

    The shirt is great. Although I wear it rarely, every time I do, I feel like it fits perfectly. Nothing pinches or causes discomfort. It's really amazing. I'm one of those people who wear shorts and t-shirts when it's around seven degrees. Recently, I wore this shirt to a class meeting when it was 15 degrees. I paired the shirt with Helikon UTP trousers. I was afraid I would sweat, but to my surprise that didn't happen, even though the material is not very thin. The ventilation under the arms worked perfectly. I rate the appearance with the maximum number of stars because the shirt looks very tactical. I'm 190 cm tall, weigh 100 kg, have a chest measurement of 120 cm, and size XL is perfect. XXL turns out to be a bit too loose. In XL, the sleeve length is just right for me—they slightly cover my hands, and I have fairly long arms. The length of the shirt itself is also appropriate. I'm already planning to buy more in other colours from Helikon.

    I have no complaints – the shirt is great, I have it in three colour versions. For my measurements (180 cm, 90 kg) size L fits perfectly. I wholeheartedly recommend it, it's really worth it.

    This is a shirt that works for any occasion. It can look both elegant and casual, making it great for everyday wear as well as, for example, going to church. I'm 190 cm tall, weigh 100 kg, have a 125 cm chest, and size XL fits perfectly, as if it was tailored just for me. Right from the first wear, there's no discomfort – there's no need to get used to it or wait for it to adjust. Helikon, as always, is top quality, I'm delighted. I already have dozens of items from this brand and they always keep a great standard.

    Very useful, with practical pockets, including two with zips. Sturdily made and durable. The fabric composition is chosen to make it comfortable and resilient, and it doesn’t lose colour after washing. Definitely worth its price.

    Looking for a shirt with a camouflage pattern, I came across this one and really liked it. It's comfortable to wear, the material barely creases, and it looks good all day long. The large pockets make it easy to store a wallet or phone.

    The shirt is quite comfortable, although for me the material could be less stiff. Typical Helikon quality. The ventilation panels under the armpits and the numerous pockets are definite pluses.

    I am delighted with the Helikon Defender Mk2 PolyCotton Ripstop shirt with long sleeves! It worked well in various conditions and the durable Ripstop material meant I didn’t have to worry about damage during activities. What I value most is the functionality – the hidden chest pockets are great for documents, and the sleeve pockets allow you to keep small items handy. The mesh on the back provides breathability even on hot days. I recommend it to everyone!

    This is another Helikon shirt I own and I have never been disappointed. They are very well made, very durable, and don’t need ironing after washing. I will definitely buy more in other colours. 100% recommended.

    The shirt is stylish, elegant and above all very comfortable. I really like the glasses loop solution. Made of strong ripstop material, so it will certainly withstand prolonged use.
