Helikon-Tex CPU PolyCotton Rip-Stop Jacket - Olive Green
Military combat shirt featuring a CPU (Combat Patrol Uniform) fit in olive green, fastened with a two-way zipper. Made from PolyCotton RipStop fabric (60% cotton, 40% polyester), characterized by high abrasion and tear resistance, it is also lighter and faster-drying than 100% cotton fabric.
6 practical pockets, cuff adjustment
The combat shirt is equipped with 6 pockets: two slanted on the chest with hook and loop closures and two on each arm (one with hook and loop, one with a zipper). The advantage is the sleeve width adjustment through a hook and loop tab. Additionally, an extra layer of material is sewn on the forearm, increasing its durability.
Zipper, ventilation openings
The combat shirt is fastened with a two-way zipper, further secured with a hook and loop closure strip. Underarm ventilation openings with zipper adjustment are installed. The inner side of the collar lined with fleece enhances neck protection against cold.
Velcro panels
Above the chest pockets and on the shoulders are velcro tapes, allowing the attachment of various emblems, such as the national flag, unit insignia, or so-called Morale Patches, giving the combat shirt a unique character.

The Helikon-Tex sweatshirt receives excellent reviews for its strong seams, durable fabric, and thoughtfully designed cut. Customers praise it for comfort, functionality, and the many useful pockets. Underarm zip ventilation is usually seen as a key advantage, as it effectively helps regulate heat. Other positives include easy adjustment, a comfortable fleece-lined collar, and effective camouflage, especially in forest surroundings. Sometimes there are mentions of the unusual zipper, wide sleeves, or oversized sizing, but the store and size exchange processes work very smoothly and without issues. In summary: the sweatshirt is versatile—it suits trips out of town, work, and everyday wear, and the price-to-quality ratio and efficient shipping convince many to buy it.

All good, good brand, great price, well packaged, quick delivery to UK. I ordered shadow grey, hope black colour is restocked as well - might order more of that as well.
-
The quality matches the price. I liked them. The size fits. I order to Ukraine, and there have been no problems with orders yet. The price for this brand's clothing in Ukraine is two to three times higher.
-
The sweatshirt is well made and can be used both as an outer layer on cooler days or worn under a jacket. The zippered underarm ventilation is a great solution, and the collar finished with fleece ensures high comfort. In my opinion, it will work well not only for walks or trips out of town, but also for work. It does not restrict movement. The size matches the description. The price is favorable.
-
The sweatshirt is nice, but unfortunately the sleeves are quite wide – that’s the only drawback, but not serious enough to lower the overall rating. It’s warm, but you can also open the vents on warmer days.
-
Great sweatshirt, the zip-up collar works perfectly at the shooting range, so you don’t need to worry about hot casings getting under your collar. You can wear a lot underneath, it doesn’t restrict movement, and the extra vents make it easier to regulate the temperature. I definitely recommend it!
-
The shirt fully meets my expectations – it has spacious pockets and is reasonably priced. It's great for me, because functionality is the most important thing.
-
The sweatshirt is great and has lots of practical pockets, which is why I chose and use it. It doesn't restrict movement, it's tactical—exactly what I was looking for.
-
Excellent camouflage for the forest, especially great in early spring. The material is a bit rustling, but it didn’t stop me from approaching an owl at two meters. The ventilation holes and pocket layout are very practical. However, I would prefer the main zipper with Canadian buttons.
-
Very nice sweatshirt. The Navy Blue shade is a dark navy. It doesn't restrict movement but isn't too loose either. It has many useful pockets, which you need to get used to. It works great with SFU pants in the same shade. I recommend it.
-
Very nice sweatshirt. The Shadow Grey color is a darker shade of grey. It doesn't restrict movement and is not too loose. It has many practical pockets that you have to get used to. I recommend it.
-
A very modern military sweatshirt; I really like the collar lined with fleece; the Velcro adjustment allows for a good fit; practical underarm vents; it is lightweight and has many interestingly placed pockets, although there could be even more at the bottom; excellent color; the material really dries quickly.
-
Nice sweatshirt, although the sizing surprised me – I bought one that was too small. Big plus to Militaria for the quick exchange to a larger size. Good quality product, and the price is lower than in brick-and-mortar stores. I recommend it.
-
The sweatshirt itself is great. At a height of 173 cm, size S turned out to be a bit too large, but it is still very comfortable and provides good camouflage. I especially recommend it to airsoft players.
