Great sweatshirt with a hybrid design – breathable Topcool material on the torso and durable, stiffer material on the sleeves, resistant to tearing. Thoughtful design – you don't have to worry about accidentally catching on branches, as the sleeves are solid. Velcro and pockets on the sleeves are a big plus. The only minor drawback is the high collar, which may be slightly uncomfortable for people with beards when turning their head, but when buying this type of sweatshirt, you should take that into account. Perfect for transitional seasons – spring, autumn. Probably too warm for summer. I recommend it!

A lightweight and durable tactical Combat Shirt, complementing the Modern Battle Dress Uniform (MBDU) field uniform. The sleeves were sewn from a blend of cotton, polyester and elastane. The fabric is characterized by high 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. 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.
A high collar with a zipper closure allows you to regulate the flow of air under the garment. The collar stand is finished with a chin guard.

Camouflage Woodland
Woodland, also known as U.S. Woodland or M81, is a classic camouflage pattern introduced to the US Armed Forces in the early 1980s, based on the earlier ERDL camouflage. For over two decades, it remained the standard pattern used by the US military until the end of the first decade of the 21st century. It is characterized by large, irregular patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, which provide good camouflage and deformation properties, especially in wooded areas. Thanks to its effectiveness and global recognition, it has spawned numerous variations that have found their way into over 60 uniform formations around the world. The pattern has also had a huge impact on popular culture, shifting from military applications to everyday fashion.

This is my first shirt from Helikon and it certainly won't be my last. The material it is made from is really high quality. The shirt is comfortable to wear. I chose size 2XL – with a height of 198 cm and a weight of 110 kg, it fits perfectly.
-
Very comfortable and well-made tactical sweatshirt. It works well in various weather conditions during outdoor activities. Also comfortable for all-day wear.
-
Like every combat shirt from Helikon, it is very comfortable and worth its price, although it's worth looking out for promotions. The camouflage looks great in person. The sizing matches the chart. I definitely recommend it.

Great combat shirt, one of the most breathable I've had. You can definitely feel the solid quality of craftsmanship and good materials. It's extremely comfortable and airy, works excellently under ballistic armour. I'm very satisfied with it.

Great combat shirt, one of the most breathable I've had so far. You can see the solid workmanship and use of good materials. It's very comfortable and allows air to pass through well, which makes it perfect under ballistic protection. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

The workmanship is of a high standard, and the camouflage is perfect for outdoor activities, such as during airsoft :) I recommend trying it on before buying to choose the right size.

I am 190 cm tall, weigh 95 kg and chose size XL. The shirt fits perfectly, it doesn't squeeze or restrict movement. The material on the sleeves is more rigid and thicker, while on the torso and back it's very soft and breathable – all just as described. I chose this camo version to match the UTP and MCDU trousers I already own.
-
The price is high, but it matches the good quality, although it could be even better. I've been using this product for a few months and overall I'm satisfied, although one drawback has appeared. The fabric on the sides of the shirt started to pill heavily, probably due to friction against the vest – that's why I recommend using a chest rig (I'm now using a training mini rig myself and the problem has disappeared). Apart from this one flaw, everything is great and well thought out, so despite this minor issue, I recommend this product.
-
Very good quality product. Highly recommended! Delivery, as usual, was very fast.
