Great sweatshirt, I bought it on sale, but even at the regular price you can see it’s well made. The size seems to match the size chart. I definitely recommend it!
Helikon SFU Next PolyCotton Rip-Stop Sweatshirt - Black
The blouse in Black is made from PolyCotton fabric, a blend of breathable cotton and durable polyester. The material is lightweight, pleasant to the touch, and dries quickly. It is reinforced with a Rip-Stop weave, which increases resistance to tearing and other mechanical damage.

- two at hip level,
- one on each shoulder.
Velcro panels
Velcro panels are located on the chest, shoulders (on the pockets and flaps), and the back of the neck, allowing for attachment of emblems such as flags, unit insignia, or morale patches. This enables easy personalization of the blouse according to the user’s role and preferences.

The PolyCotton fabric consists of 60% cotton and 40% polyester. The Rip-Stop weave improves resistance to tearing, ensuring greater durability in field conditions.
The elbow area is reinforced with a double layer of fabric and includes pockets for foam protective pads to help protect joints from injury.

The sweatshirt is very comfortable and well made. The materials and quality of workmanship are at a high level. I usually choose size L, but in this case M suited me better. I definitely recommend it.
-
Very comfortable, with numerous pockets and well made. The Velcro holds patches securely. The downside is the need to choose the size precisely, as I had to make some small adjustments for a perfect fit. Other than that, everything is fine.
-
Highly recommend – I have three sweatshirts of this model in different colours. It’s a great work sweatshirt with lots of pockets. The material is quite stiff at first, but after a few washes and some use, it becomes softer. Durable, I recommend it with a clear conscience.

I bought the Helikon SFU Next uniform sweatshirt in PL Woodland Wz.93 camouflage and I am very satisfied. The Rip-Stop material is light but very durable, and the sweatshirt itself is comfortable to wear. It is equipped with numerous, practical pockets which are very useful in the field, and the adjustable cuffs and collar provide a good fit. The camouflage is excellent for woodland environments. High quality for a reasonable price. I recommend it!
-
The uniform sweatshirt is of good quality, however the cut doesn’t quite suit me – despite being the right size, it’s very oversized, especially under the arms where there is too much material.
-
I bought this jacket to match the trousers from the same series. I am satisfied with the purchase – the pockets are comfortable and well placed. Over time, I will assess durability and let you know.
-
The sweatshirt is well made, has an interesting style and lots of practical pockets; made from quality material. Size was spot on, although in my case the sleeves could be slightly longer, but you can’t have everything. I recommend.
-
I'm 182 cm tall and weigh about 80 kg – size M is ideal in terms of the length of the sweatshirt and sleeves. It's a bit wide and baggy, but that means it doesn't restrict movement. The sweatshirt has convenient buttons, lots of pockets, and the quality is very good.
-
Helikon is a trusted brand – the best recommendation is the fact that I've already bought the fourth Helikon SFU Next sweatshirt, each in a different colour. I'm fully satisfied with the cut, material and workmanship quality.
-
Very comfortable sweatshirt, I previously had the BDU version in 3 colour desert and woodland, and the comfort of use is similar despite replacing buttons with velcro, which makes accessing the pockets faster. The sweatshirt is well finished, the pockets are spacious, but compared to the classic BDU they hold slightly fewer items, and the velcro probably won't hold heavy loads like the buttons, which always worked well on M65 trousers and jackets after modification. However, these sweatshirts are not designed for carrying weight, but rather for storing small items like a knife, fire starter, compass, lighter or wallet, which in my experience usually end up in the backpack anyway. The sweatshirt is well tailored and looks good, in my opinion it looks better than the BDU, the ripstop material is flawless, and extra pockets on the shoulders are an advantage. I am very pleased with it, it matches perfectly with BDU trousers in the same colour.
-
Very good quality product. The material is pleasant to the touch and well sewn. Many practical pockets. The size was perfect. The parcel arrived in Ukraine within a week. Many thanks to the shop for excellent service!

Every Helikon Tex garment is characterised by very good quality, and the 60% cotton and 40% polyester material is a great choice – it's harder to get dirty and dries faster without losing breathability. The SFU cut itself is great, in my opinion better than CPU. I own the entire SFU wz.93 set (trousers and sweatshirt) and I am very satisfied.
-
The SFU jacket series positively surprised me with its appearance and craftsmanship, even though I have previously worn CPU models. It combines very well with cargo trousers, tactical trousers, and even jeans. In summary, I am very satisfied with this purchase.
-
High-quality material, well sewn. It's a shame there's no zip, but the large number of velcros allows you to attach many identifiers. The sweatshirt will last a long time, like others in this series. Since it works well, it’s time to buy the next one.
