This is already my second shirt of this type; this time I chose the color Cider Plaid. I liked my previous purchase so much that I decided to get another one. Above all, I was convinced by the quality of the material – it’s stretchy and has additional pockets secured with sturdy YKK zippers. The phone fits easily in the pocket, and even with its weight, the shirt sits very well. It's a great choice for summer days when you want to keep your pants pockets lighter. The only drawback is the chest pockets that close with quite strong Velcro, which makes a loud sound when opened. Other than that, I am fully satisfied with the purchase. I am 175 cm tall, weigh 65 kg, and wear size XS – the sleeves are the right length and the shirt is not tight. For comparison: in Vistula, I often buy size M, but XS from Helikon is very similar and fits well.

Very high quality of workmanship and careful sewing. I chose the shirt in the Stone Plaid color, size XS. The material is light, but does not feel delicate. A big advantage is the horizontal stretch, while vertically the fabric is less elastic, which allows the shirt to maintain its proper shape. Size XS fits perfectly for a person with a height of 175 cm and a weight of 65 kg. The sleeves are the right length, and the shirt fits comfortably and does not cling to the chest or stomach (for a slim build). I definitely recommend it – a very comfortable shirt.

Although the Helikon size chart is sometimes unclear to me, I have never had any doubts about the quality of their products. This shirt works great for everyday wear – it's comfortable, practical, breathable, and at the same time retains an elegant appearance.

Looks very stylish, by the way, I always buy size M, but here S fit me as if it was sewn just for me!!))) Carefully read the sizing charts, everything is indicated correctly!! Measure yourself with a measuring tape before buying. The neck stretches, and the material itself stretches a bit, it’s cool, just perfect for summer))) Highest rating, I didn't think shirts could be worth their price that much. There’s also ventilation under the armpits, lots of pockets, looks like some kind of tourist, navy seal, or IT guy, so it suits everyone. The plaid pattern is nice, I really liked it!! If you catch it at the sale price, it’s just awesome.

Bought it for everyday use. The shirt is very light and at the same time strong. The placement of the pockets is very well thought out, extremely functional. I didn't really like the color, it looks like a classic shirt. But I got used to it and use it with satisfaction. I am satisfied with the product, I recommend it.

This garment came true to size. Is very well made and extremely comfortable to wear. The price is also excellent. It came very well packaged and the delivery was fast all so

The Helikon Defender Mk2 City shirt perfectly combines functionality and style. The material is pleasant to the touch, breathable, and carefully made. The cut ensures wearing comfort, and the shirt looks elegant both for everyday wear and during outdoor activities. The finishing is of a high standard – definitely worth its price!

This is a very good shirt – bought a few weeks ago, and it was recently tested during a trip to Italy. I was afraid of overheating because of the synthetic material, but it turned out not to be a problem at all. In the hot conditions in Tuscany (around 39-41 degrees), it performed great – it offers sun protection and does better than shirts made of thin linen or cotton. I am really pleasantly surprised – the material is stretchable and comfortable, and the double layers at the pockets don’t cause any discomfort, including thermally. I’m very satisfied and already thinking about buying another one in a different color.

The shirt was a great purchase – very comfortable, fits well, and the material is thin and pleasant to the touch. It’s slightly stretchy, so it doesn’t restrict movement, and the sizing is appropriate. I can confidently recommend both the product and the store.

The shirt is in a class of its own. It has an excellent quality-to-price ratio. I can confidently say it looks elegant, and at the same time, it's comfortable and breathable. The ventilation panels under the arms do a great job. It works not only at work, on the shooting range, but also for going out to the city or social gatherings.

Excellent shirt – in terms of material, quality of workmanship, and the placement of pockets and mesh panels under the arms. The plaid is universal, so the shirt can be worn not only for work or outdoors, but also for family gatherings. The sizing is good. A very successful purchase at a reasonable price.

The Helikon Defender shirt looks fantastic. It’s comfortable, lightweight, and the color is very attractive. Mesh inserts make ventilation easier and prevent sweating. The material is breathable and stretchy, which adds to the comfort of wearing it. Two hidden, spacious zippered pockets are great for storing documents, a phone, or a wallet. It’s quite long, but thanks to the efficient size exchange system at Militaria.pl, you can easily find the right piece.

Nice and carefully made. The material is pleasant to the touch and provides comfort while wearing. In my opinion, there is quite a difference between size L and XL. For now, I can recommend it.

The shirt is great. Size L fits perfectly for a height of 180 cm. Well made, lightweight, with roomy and deep pockets. An extra advantage is a place for sunglasses. Fast order processing. I recommend it.

I recently saw the Helikon Defender Mk2 City – Cider Plaid shirt at a friend's place, who praised it as a regular customer of the store. I chose a different model myself, and he stuck with this one. The material is truly great quality, the size fits perfectly. The sleeves are not too long like with some other brands. Solid company, highly recommended.
