Helikon Defender Mk2 Tropical Shirt - Dark Olive
A comfortable and lightweight shirt made of a quick-dry and stretchy material designed 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 loose fit harmonizes with the anatomy of movement, low-profile ballistic vest or IWB (Inside Waistband) holster.
The shirt's lightweight and breathable fabric provides optimal performance 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 has 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.
