The sweatshirt is great, the material and workmanship are of a high standard. The sleeves are a bit too long, but thanks to the adjustable cuffs, this isn't a problem. At a height of 173 cm, weight of 80 kg, and a chest circumference of 108 cm, size L fits loosely and does not restrict movement. I recommend this product – it’s a Polish company’s item, carefully and solidly made.
MBDU (Modern Battle Dress Uniform) cut buttoned military sweatshirt. It is made of abrasion-resistant NyCo Rip-Stop material. The anatomical cut and side inserts made of stretch VeraStretch material ensure proper fit, and freedom of movement.
The sweatshirt is equipped with four pockets:
- two chest ones closed with zippers,
- two on the sleeves at shoulder height.
Above the pockets have been stitched velcro tapes allowing you to attach any emblems, such as the national flag, the emblem of the unit or the so-called Morale Patches, so you can give the sweatshirt an individual character.
For better air circulation, mesh panels have been placed under the armpits to improve breathability.

It is durable and comfortable, has practical pockets and adjustable features. The robust Rip-Stop material and camouflage pattern make it ideal for outdoor and field activities.
-
Very nice sweatshirt with a modern cut, practical pockets on the chest and sleeves, elastic side panels and ventilation. The wildwood camouflage looks excellent. I definitely recommend it.
-
Very good quality sweatshirt together with MBDU trousers makes a great set for Polish conditions. Camouflage tested in the Bug river region perfectly hides your outline in the spring-summer greenery. Nice cut and functionally arranged pockets.
-
Very high quality sweatshirt or jacket (outer layer). Mud and difficult terrain are no trouble for it. The material is extremely durable and well combined with light and breathable parts. The camouflage is really interesting.
-
A sweatshirt worth recommending, the solid material works well with elastic side panels. The arrangement of the pockets is very good. Unfortunately, the sizing is an issue – according to the table I should have chosen XL, but it turned out to be too tight (couldn't wear anything underneath). I bought XL and measured the same under the armpits (60 cm), only the sleeve length and total length of the sweatshirt changed. In the end, I returned the product.

Super sweatshirt! Thoughtful design, elastic elements and ventilation under the armpits. Large and practical pockets. The Helikon brand is a guarantee of high quality. Combined with trousers, it makes a great uniform. The pencott wildwood camouflage is ideal for Polish forests, fields and meadows in the spring-summer season. I am 182 cm tall, 104 cm chest and 88 cm waist – size L fits perfectly.
-
The cut is unusual and I like it very much. The biggest advantage for me is complete freedom of movement – when I do pull-ups, the shirt does not move or restrict my movements. It also does not look like a sack and fits very well. The pockets are fine, but they are not what makes this model stand out. Personally, I would prefer a zip version, although the buttons also have their plus points – they do not get stuck even when the shirt gets dirty.

Helikon has created a very unusual cut, which has both its supporters and opponents. For me, it is fine. The elastic inserts and ventilation slots are nice solutions.

Great sweatshirt, very sensibly designed. It's a pity it's not made in Poland. When choosing the size, approach the table data carefully – in reality, the sweatshirt is longer than the measurements indicate, so it won't be too short. The cut in the chest is more fitted, so the width is smaller. The sleeves are the right length, they are not too short. You can easily wear a combat shirt underneath because the sleeves are quite wide.

Good morning. The sweatshirt is great, the camouflage looks very good. It has many pockets and an attractive pattern. In my opinion it is comfortable. This is already my second model, but from another manufacturer. I recommend it – I managed to buy it on a promotion.
-
The jacket is well made, of very good quality and fits well – it has a rather close-fitting cut, so if you have a larger build, choose a bigger size, unless you prefer tighter clothes. The material is quite warm, so it may be too hot for summer, but will be perfect for other seasons. At first, the jacket is a bit stiff, but after a few washes it becomes softer. So far, I am very satisfied with all Helikon products. The jacket is fastened with buttons at the front, which means it is not entirely suitable to wear with PC gear. I recommend it if you are looking for a comfortable and durable jacket for special tasks.

The smock is outstanding, the quality of workmanship is very high. It’s perfect for autumn and the ventilation under the arms is a big advantage. The parcel to Kyiv arrived within 7 days. Thank you to the shop for the very good quality of service and the lightning-fast dispatch.
-
The shirt is very well made and has a subdued colour. The arrangement of the pockets and the buttons are a plus. Although it looks military, it is also suitable for everyday wear. I am 183 cm tall and have a 126 cm chest - size XL fits perfectly, so the sizing is accurate. I bought it on promotion, which is nice, because the regular price is quite high.
-
Great sweatshirt, made very carefully, which is already the norm with Helikon. It is breathable and very comfortable to wear. The only drawback is the slightly long sleeves in size 'M', but thanks to the Velcro at the ends, this can be easily adjusted. Even if they are too long for me, after fastening the Velcro the sweatshirt fits comfortably and does not restrict movement.
