Well-made CS. I am 185 cm tall, weigh 92 kg, with a chest circumference of 114 cm – size XL fits perfectly. The sleeves are a bit longer, which is a plus because they cover the wrists well when I stretch out my arms. The cut is a bit looser but not too wide – it fits well. I wear it together with thermal underwear and the whole thing works great. The colours remain vibrant; after 4 washes, everything looks like new.

A lightweight and durable tactical Combat Shirt, complementing the Modern Battle Dress Uniform (MBDU) field uniform. The sleeves were sewn from NYCO fabric(a blend of cotton and nylon), which is characterized by increased resistance to tearing and abrasion. The middle part of the sweatshirt, on the other hand, was sewn from TopCool, a stretchy and breathable polyester fabric, ensuring a proper fit and freedom of movement.
On both shoulders there are pockets closed with YKK zippers. Double velcro (Velcro) panels were sewn on the pockets, allowing 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.
The cuffs are fastened with Velcro, so it is possible to adjust them and precisely fit the size to the thickness of the wrist. Hems in the elbow area act as additional reinforcement to protect against abrasion.
The sweatshirt has a high collar with a zipper closure. The collar stand is finished with a chin guard.

Buying the Helikon-Tex MCDU Combat Shirt in wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland camouflage turned out to be a great choice and one of the best decisions regarding my tactical and outdoor equipment. From the very first use, you can see that the product is made from durable materials – the sleeves made of strong NYCO Rip-Stop fabric are perfect even for intensive use in the field, and the torso area made of breathable TopCool knit ensures comfort on hot days and during demanding activities.

Gives the impression of being a solid and comfortable product, ideal for frequent use. The fabric is durable, does not deform, and does not wear through or get damaged by contact with equipment. The clothing does not restrict movement and has good ventilation in the right places. The cut is secure, nothing shifts out of place, and no readjustment is needed. While wearing it, you feel comfortable and confident in the quality – the garment works well with the body and does not distract. I'm 183 cm tall and weigh 75 kg – size M fits perfectly. I definitely recommend it.

A really comfortable and breathable UBAC for hot summer days. The ripstop sleeves are good at protecting your arms against foliage when trekking through the bush.

I am 187 cm tall and weigh 95 kg. I chose size L, which fits me perfectly. The combat shirt looks great and meets my expectations. The only thing that bothers me is that the sleeves are a bit too long, which can be a little annoying, but I guess they can be shortened a bit.

Arrived very quickly, I hesitated between size M and L (1.72 m, 70 kg), and it turns out that size M fits well. I'll see how it holds up over time, but I find the materials pleasant: aerated fabric on the torso and ripstop weaving on the sleeves and shoulders. The pockets on the sleeves seem very practical. There are lots of Velcro patches everywhere to stick on plenty of badges :). I immediately think I'm going to remove some as, at first glance, they make the sleeves a bit stiff. I’ll see how it is after a few washes and with use. In any case, I am happy with this purchase.

Very good overall at this price. The material is breathable and the workmanship is careful. However, I have some reservations: the sleeves are too narrow and there are no pockets for protectors.
-
It gives the impression of a tough, work-oriented item made for active duties under load. The material is durable, holds its shape well, and isn’t afraid of friction or equipment. There’s nothing restrictive in movement, and ventilation is present where needed. The fit is reliable, everything stays in place without constant adjustment. In use, it gives a sense of control and reliability—clothing that works with you, not requiring attention.

Great combat sweatshirt. I use several other brands, but Helikon stands out for its quality. The material on the body and shoulders is very sturdy, and the camouflage keeps its colour for a long time. A big plus is the velcro panels for flags, epaulettes, and insignia. It fits perfectly under a vest. It's a very good alternative to the contract Trawena. I highly recommend it! P.S. Maybe in the future there will be a version in WZ camouflage or the new Rysiu from DA.

This is my favourite sweatshirt. I regret that one of the colours has been discontinued, but there is nothing I can do about it. It is breathable on the chest, and the shoulders are made of sturdy material – it works great both for hiking and pushing through thickets, as well as for working in the workshop. I definitely recommend it.

Sweatshirt of excellent quality, very functional – it works perfectly for me during trips outside the city, e.g. in the mountains, where I wear it under a jacket. The cut is a big advantage. I definitely recommend it.

The sweatshirt is functional, fits well, is well-made, and the pockets on the sleeves are useful – a phone fits in easily. The high collar effectively protects against the wind.
-
A convenient and high-quality ubox made from good materials. There is a breathable material in part of the body that helps to wick away moisture. The sleeves are made from a coarser material, like Cordura, which is very well done as it is more durable than regular fabric.

The sweatshirt was used for several months. The appropriate size makes it comfortable, made of slightly elastic material where freedom of movement is needed, and the sleeves are made of thicker, stiffer fabric with well-designed Velcro straps at the wrists. I must admit, once again Helikon's product did not disappoint me.
-
A great product, I've had it for several months and have used it a lot; the material has withstood every use so far and I'm completely convinced by it.
