Helikon Defender Mk2 PolyCotton Ripstop Short Sleeve Shirt - Olive Green

The shirt fits perfectly, it's comfortable, and despite the thicker material, it's also suitable for warmer days. Practical and elegant, it will work in various situations.

The colour is great. It has a military style, but it's also suitable for everyday outings. The short sleeve is perfect for hot days. The material is breathable and durable. I definitely recommend it.

Two years ago, I bought a Defender shirt in an olive shade and it still looks like new, though I haven't worn it too often. However, this year the heat has been tough, so I decided that a brighter colour would be better for everyday use. I chose size M again (I'm 176 cm/104 kg) and in over 30°C I wear it to work, for shopping and on walks. Combined with Helikon UTS shorts, the heat doesn’t bother me.

It looks great and is very smart, a perfectly fitted shirt. This is already my third one. The beautiful, vivid sand colour matches everything. The pockets are very functional and roomy – they easily hold a smartphone and documents. I am 174 cm tall, weigh 100 kg, chest circumference 124 cm, size XXL fits perfectly and there is still enough room to wear another t-shirt underneath, especially the long sleeve version. I am very pleased with this next purchase. I respect MILITARIA PL shop very much for high service quality, individual approach to the customer, reliability and speedy processing.

The shirt looks superb – elegant and well cut. This is the third in my collection. It stands out with a beautiful sand colour that goes with everything. The functional and spacious pockets can easily fit a phone and documents. At 174 cm, 100 kg, and a chest circumference of 124 cm, XXL is perfect and still leaves enough room to wear a vest or thermal shirt underneath, especially with the long-sleeved variant. I'm very satisfied with this next purchase. I value MILITARIA PL's online shop for its professional, friendly and individual service as well as for its quick order processing.

This is my first shirt from this brand, so I can’t yet assess its durability, but it is exactly what I expected. I really like it. If it proves itself, I will buy another one, this time with long sleeves. Regarding sizing: I ordered M, the chest measures 56 cm (I'm 176 cm, 79 kg, and 104 cm in the chest). This size is just right, with a bit of room to spare – the smaller size would probably be too tight.

Very good shirt. The material and stitching quality are top notch. The size matches the table, and the colour looks great. I recommend Helikon products – now I only wear their shirts.

I really value the Helikon Defender series, I’m used to this cut and the arrangement of the pockets – for me it’s spot on. The shirt is solid, durable, slightly elastic due to the elastane, although not particularly airy. I most often wear it as a second layer on a cotton or thermal t-shirt. It always fits well and it’s hard to look bad in it. For my build (184 cm/100 kg), XL fits me perfectly. I really like the civilian colour.

This is another purchase after three Defenders with long sleeves. The shirt is comfortable, excellently made and very practical. It proved itself during summer trips to Lower Silesian castles. I sincerely recommend it.

This is already my second item from this series. The shirt is very functional and practical. Comfortable, made of good material, excellently sewn, and the pockets turned out to be very useful. The khaki colour is light and stylish. I am 180 cm tall, 80 kg, and the M size fits me with a bit of room to spare.

I’m 186 cm tall and weigh 85 kg – size L fits perfectly! The shirt is slightly tailored but does not cling to the body and allows free movement. The workmanship quality, as usual with Helikon, is flawless. The material is pleasant to the touch and seems durable; time will tell, but my experience with Helikon suggests it will last a very long time! The shop and delivery are also a huge plus – I placed my order on Friday evening and it arrived at the parcel locker on Saturday morning, even during the pre-Christmas period! I don't know how they do it, but they're really excellent at it!

A very comfortable and nice shirt with practical pockets (for a shirt). The material is solid – it doesn't crease too easily and irons well. Great cut. I usually don't wear a lot of shirts but I really liked this one. As for the size, I usually wear M, but here S fits just right.

I always preferred T-shirts and avoided shirts until I discovered the Defenders from Helikon. I ordered a short-sleeve shirt in olive green to try. After the first wear, I can say it is a bit stiff, but it looks very good. I wore it on its own or over a T-shirt when it was windy. Now I plan to buy more, including long-sleeve versions and in other colours.

Very comfortable and well-made shirt. The collar fits well, and the double chest pockets are practical. The material is stretchy, airy and wicks away sweat. Nice colour. I recommend it!

Well-fitted shirt, the material is slightly stretchy and behaves well with movement. Solid quality of workmanship, we’ll see how it holds up after more washes.
