MultiCam camouflage
MultiCam is a state-of-the-art camouflage pattern developed in 2002 by US company Crye Precision in cooperation with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs) as part of the Objective Force Warrior program. Its goal was to create a versatile camouflage pattern that is effective in varied terrain and changing environmental conditions. The MultiCam pattern consists of seven colors, creating gradient transitions between shades of green, brown and beige. As a result, it dynamically adapts to the background, adopting shades of green in forested areas or browns and beiges in desert regions - in Central and Eastern European environments, it works particularly well in autumn and among dry vegetation. MultiCam has gained worldwide recognition and is used by numerous armed forces and special units. In 2010, the camouflage was officially adopted by the US Army as the camouflage pattern for soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, replacing the earlier Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). The pattern is also available to civilian users, making it a popular choice among military or airsoft enthusiasts.

Size: L
I really liked the Helikon-Tex MBDU combat shirt for its material quality and fit. The NyCo Rip-Stop fabric feels durable without being too coarse, so it is comfortable to move in and to wear for long periods throughout the day. The cut is comfortable, nothing pulls in the shoulders, and it does not get in the way when you raise your arms or work with gear. The MM14 camouflage looks very good and pairs well with field trousers and other equipment. I especially liked the pockets and the overall thoughtful design of the shirt. You can organize your items properly, access to the pockets is convenient, and the hook-and-loop fasteners and hardware seem reliable. After several uses, the fabric keeps its shape, the seams are neat, and it does not feel like a cheap item. It may be a bit too heavy for hot weather, but for spring, autumn, training, the range, or trips outdoors, it works very well. I am satisfied with the purchase; the shirt really looks well made and practical.

Size: M
Very good sweatshirt. It has a fitted cut, sits well, and provides freedom of movement. The material is solid, densely woven, and resistant to abrasion as well as bites from various insects. I chose the Mud Brown color because it was available at a great discount that was too good to pass up. Now I’m hoping for a price reduction on the green version or multicam so I can buy another one, because the regular price is definitely too high. Size M fits very well for someone who is 182 cm tall and weighs 78 kg.

Honestly, This is the first (part of 3 piece set as I also bought the matching top and pants) tactical/military gear so I don't have much comparison to go off however when compared to the other stuff I was able to touch before making my mind up this feels like the real deal. Very good quality, excellent print and should last a very long time. Very happy with my purchase(s) and shall be a returning customer soon :)

This Helikon MBDU NyCo Rip-Stop shirt in multicam black really is a top quality shirt. Very nice comfortable tailored fit, large discreet pockets on the chest plus decent size pockets on the arms. The breathable mesh under the armpits is a nice touch now the weather is warming up. I've got quite alot of clothes by Helikon-Tex and it's always top quality gear and this shirt is no exception. I love it. Recommended.

Great sweatshirt, definitely surpasses the SFU model. Although the material is also not stretchy, it fits better right away and is more comfortable. Extra pockets would certainly be useful, but other than that I have no complaints. Highly recommend, very practical item of clothing.
