An old sweatshirt style in a modern edition – a combination of tradition and innovation. There are pockets both on the chest and on the sleeves, and they can be fastened with either velcro or buttons according to your preference. There are no lower pockets. I recommend it!
Helikon Raid Polycotton Stretch Rip-Stop Shirt - Duck Hunter
Uniform-style shirt made of PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop (50% polyester, 48% cotton, 2% elastane), a fabric that is highly resistant to abrasion and tearing. The Raid model has a raglan design, which means that the sleeves are sewn directly into the collar, thus eliminating shoulder seams.
8 practical pockets
The covered button placket ensures a clean look and protection against snagging. The practicality of the model is enhanced by 8 ergonomic pockets:
- two buttoned chest pockets,
- one hook-and-loop or buttoned pocket on each shoulder,
- two flat, open pockets on the shoulders,
- two inner mesh pockets – one zipped, the other open.
Each pocket has handles in the form of loops, which allow you to attach your equipment and prevent it from getting lost when you move. The elbows have reinforcements made of a double layer of material, which also serve as pockets for foam protective inserts. The width of the cuffs can be adjusted with Velcro.
Velcro straps
The Velcro straps are sewn above the chest pockets and the shoulder pockets and flaps, allowing you to attach any emblems, such as a national flag, unit emblem or Morale Patches. This allows the jacket to be customised to the wearer's individual taste.
Raglan design
The raglan design means that the sleeves reach all the way down to the chest, eliminating seams on the shoulders. This solution, often found in sportswear, ensures maximum freedom of movement and increased flexibility.

The sweatshirt is great – especially this colour makes it look very elegant. The pockets are spacious, and the inner ones are particularly well designed – the right one can fit a map, while the left, zipped one runs up to the armpit but is already a bit too short for a map. For me, it's another successful product from Helikon.

This sweatshirt is really great! It's comfortable, fits well, and stands out with its unique, historical camouflage. Makes you want to roll up your sleeves and buy some shorts as well. Rhodesians never die! ;)

The sweatshirt is very well made. Typical Helikon quality, but due to the colour it heats up quickly and dust is very visible on it.

The Helikon RAID sweatshirt is a solid and functional product. It has an excellent cut and many practical, well-placed pockets – from classic, slanted chest ones to multi-compartment sleeves and inner pockets with zips. Another advantage is the durable rip-stop material in the Rhodesian Brushstroke camouflage, which works great in Polish forests. Definitely worth recommending.

The sweatshirt in the Tiger stripe pattern is excellent. Below I am posting a link to an example set with SFU Next 2 trousers and a hat: https://youtu.be/nVrbq3TXdB8?si=vg7ZP-Qf3bidW6Lw

The sweatshirt is well made, the size matches the table, the cut is also good – it fits well. The material is quite thick and warm, so I wouldn't recommend it for hot days. It looks nice, with a classic woodland pattern.

The sweatshirt is well made and durable. The wide choice of colours deserves a special mention. It has many pockets, making it easy to store all the necessary items. I encourage you to try it.
