I wore this hoodie for the first time on open water on a very hot day when it was almost 40 degrees outside. Even so, I felt better in it than in just a T-shirt. The material breathes great and does not restrict movement – it's really worth having.
A lightweight and robust tactical Combat Shirt designed to complement the Modern Battle Dress Uniform (MBDU) field gear. The sleeves are crafted from NYCO fabric (a cotton and nylon blend) known for its superior tear and abrasion resistance. Meanwhile, the middle section is made of TopCool, a breathable and stretchy polyester fabric, providing excellent fit and freedom of movement.
Both sleeves feature pockets secured with YKK zippers, additionally equipped with double velcro panels measuring 6 x 4 cm and 9.5 x 9 cm. These allow for attaching various emblems such as a flag, unit insignia, or morale patches, giving the sweatshirt a personalized character.
Velcro-fastened cuffs enable adjustments for a precise fit to the wrist's thickness. The elbow areas have reinforced hems for additional abrasion protection.
Features a high collar equipped with a zipper closure, and the collar is finished with a chin guard.

I am very satisfied with the purchase of this Combat. I recently tested it at the shooting range in intense sunlight and it worked perfectly – the material is breathable, does not cause overheating, and is comfortable and does not restrict movement. I rate the workmanship highly – both the seams and the fabrics seem very solid. The wz.93 camouflage looks excellent, which is why I decided to buy a second one for my brother as well. For now, we are both very satisfied with this choice.

Size: S
The sweatshirt material on the torso is very comfortable to wear and provides a high level of comfort and temperature regulation. The sleeves are made from a slightly stiffer material and are therefore less soft, but they offer better protection for airsoft. Hits from BBs on the arms are noticeably more bearable. The sleeves run a bit longer on me, which is actually more of an advantage for airsoft, as it keeps the wrists better protected.
-
Great combat shirt. Previously I used an olive one, now I chose multicam. The sleeve material is solid and effectively protects the skin from injuries.

Size: M
Great sweatshirt, the material is very durable and works perfectly in the field. The cut fits perfectly under a tactical vest and does not restrict movement during dynamic running in the forest. The camouflage looks amazing in real life. Highly recommended!
-
This combat shirt is really wonderful to wear; the fit, workmanship, and pattern are on point. Even on very hot days, I don't get as hot as in other shirts that sometimes cost significantly more.
-
Very comfortable — it doesn’t restrict your freedom of movement, the fabric is breathable, and the pockets are practical. It allows for unrestricted movement even when you’re sweating, as the fabric doesn’t stick to your body in a way that hinders mobility. The fit is excellent, and the combination of materials is outstanding. Highly recommended!

The shirt gives a really high-quality impression and is overall very comfortable to wear. It is light, breathable, and dries quickly. The cut fits close to the body, but at the shoulders and sleeves it is a bit looser, and the sleeves are slightly longer than what I'm used to. The material on the sleeves is also somewhat stiffer than on the torso, which is probably normal for this type of combat shirt. Overall, it's a very well-made shirt with good workmanship and a fair price.
-
The material is comfortable and resistant to abrasion. The shoulder pockets are especially useful. The combat shirt works great on warmer days. The camouflage matches modern patterns very well.
-
I have been using this sweatshirt for two years, both during training and tactical competitions. It is extremely durable and very comfortable. The only downside is that the cuffs become a bit stiff when fastened with Velcro.
-
The freedom of movement and adaptability of this shirt are remarkable given the price. I have already bought products that were three times as expensive and offered no comparable performance. Even at temperatures of 35 degrees Celsius, the shirt proved pleasantly wearable and ensured effective moisture management on the skin.
-
This is definitely my favorite combat – it's stylish, durable, and well-stitched. I don’t overheat in it and there are no visible sweat stains. I deduct one star because after crawling on grass, the shirt got slightly snagged. I should also mention that the sleeves are quite tight around the biceps, but it should be fine for people who don’t work out.
-
The shirt is lightweight and breathable, and the sleeves are long enough to keep my arms covered even when I raise them overhead. The fit is excellent and allows full freedom of movement for both the torso and shoulders. Highly recommended!
-
The shirt has a perfect fit. The fabric on the chest, stomach, and back feels firmer and more durable, while still being breathable. The sleeves have a very good length — they can be slightly rolled up or worn tightened with the Velcro. It does not restrict free movement of the upper body. There is enough extra room to allow comfortable movement even when the body is sweaty and the shirt sticks to the skin, while still keeping a clean, fitted look. Together with the Helikon-Tex MCDU DyNyCo Rip-Stop trousers, it makes an exceptionally good tactical clothing combination, and visually it looks top-quality as well. The prices here are the best I found in Europe, with delivery available to another EU country.
