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!

The uniform sweatshirt is made of PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric (50% polyester, 48% cotton, 2% elastane), which is highly resistant to abrasion and tearing, and is also lighter and dries faster than 100% cotton fabric. The Raid model uses a raglan construction. The sleeves are sewn directly into the collar, which means no shoulder seams.
The sweatshirt is fastened with patch-covered buttons, and practicality is provided by 8 ergonomic pockets:
- two located on the chest buttoned,
- one on each shoulder, fastened with Velcro or a button,
- two flat open ones located on the shoulder pockets,
- two mesh pockets inside the sweatshirt, one with a zipper and one open.
The pockets are equipped with handles in the form of loops, to which you can tie your equipment so that you do not lose it during activity. On the elbows there are special reinforcements in the form of a double layer of material, which also serves as pockets for protective foam pads. The width of the cuffs is adjustable with Velcro.
Above the chest pockets and on the pockets and shoulder flaps were sewn velcro tapes ( Velcro ) 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.

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.

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.
