I am very satisfied with my purchase. The sleeve material turns out to be extremely durable and the TopCool interior of the sweatshirt provides excellent ventilation — wearing it is exceptionally comfortable. The pockets located on the shoulders are functional, and the velcro panels allow for quick attachment of patches. I also appreciate the zipped collar and the option to adjust the cuffs. The PL Woodland camouflage works great in the field. It's really a solid sweatshirt!
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.

There are two types of material. Ideal under a vest. I recommend choosing the size according to your own measurements, rather than following the model's size. The fit is rather snug. If you prefer looser clothes, it's better to choose a larger size. The material is breathable.
-
Great sweatshirt. Wonderfully made. Combination of two materials. Perfect as standard or under vests. Typical size. If someone wants it looser, it's better to take a larger one because the model is rather fitted to the body. The sleeves are wider. Breathable.
-
A high-quality product with a military style. Ideal for people with broader shoulders. The material is flexible and fits the figure perfectly. The clothing is practical, breathable, and made from quick-drying fabric. There is a wide choice of interesting colours available.
-
Very good quality product, both the material and stitching are flawless. Very flexible sweatshirt, fits the body well. Slight downside – after several washes at the recommended temperature, the colour faded a bit.
-
Helikon as always shows great quality. The combat shirt is perfectly fitted to the silhouette. The material is airy, light, and dries quickly, which I tested on the training ground. For 183 cm and 95 kg, size L is perfect.
-
I am very satisfied with this sweatshirt. It works great both for indoor training and outdoors. After washing, it still looks great and retains its shape.
-
I bought this sweatshirt and I am fully satisfied – it fits perfectly. However, I recommend choosing a size larger than usual; I normally wear M, but I chose L and it’s great. I’m already taking it out for tests in the field and I know it won’t be my last purchase from this brand. Additionally, I placed the order on Sunday, and by 1 p.m. on Monday the parcel was already with me – full professionalism from Militaria.
-
One of the best combat shirts available on the market. Very comfortable in dynamic situations, practical pockets, high-quality finishing, dries in a short time.
-
Helikon MCDU Pantera PL Woodland blouse is top shelf! Durable, comfortable, excellent at camouflage. The NyCo Rip-Stop material ensures longevity. Great for expeditions and special tasks. Highly recommended!
-
Very nice sweatshirt, although it should be mentioned that the sizing is rather aimed at slim and tall people. At my height of 175 cm and weight of 80 kg, size M was quite long, and the sleeves too long and the Velcro on the cuffs not very comfortable. After tailoring alterations – shortening and narrowing the sleeves and adding a zip – the sweatshirt is now perfect.
-
The combat shirt is good—there are better options on the market, but for this price there's nothing to complain about. The material on the chest and stomach breathes well, and the YKK zips work flawlessly. Personally, I'm not a fan of the forearm construction, as there's quite a bit of material that can't be comfortably rolled up.
-
The sweatshirt is solid and comfortable thanks to the NyCo Rip-Stop material. Practical pockets and good ventilation work well during outdoor use. The soft collar improves comfort. In my opinion, it's one of the best combat shirts I've had.
-
The sweatshirt was intensively used throughout the summer season on field trips. Very nice material, fits well and does not wrinkle. The pockets on the sleeves are very practical, you can fit various gadgets in them.
-
I've been using this product for almost a year, so I can recommend it. It significantly increases wearing comfort under a vest compared to a classic uniform. Space on the sides for flags. Sleeves are a little stiff, but after adding fabric softener when washing it’s really good.
