Helikon-Tex MCDU Combat Shirt NyCo Rip-Stop - MultiCam

A functional and durable tactical Combat Shirt designed as part of the Modern Battle Dress Uniform (MBDU). The sleeves are made of NYCO fabric – a blend of cotton and nylon characterized by high resistance to abrasion and tearing. The central part of the shirt is made of elastic and breathable TopCool polyester fabric, which guarantees a good fit and full freedom of movement.

Shoulder pockets with YKK zippers and Velcro panels

Both sleeves are equipped with pockets secured with YKK zippers, complemented by double velcro panels measuring 6 x 4 cm and 9.5 x 9 cm. These allow for attaching various types of emblems - from flags, through unit insignia, to morale patches. This gives the sweatshirt the ability to be personalized and tailored to the user’s individual preferences.

Adjustable cuffs, reinforced zones, collar with cover

The Velcro-adjustable cuffs allow for a precise fit to the wrist circumference. The elbow area has been additionally reinforced with stitching, which increases wear resistance in the most exposed areas. The design is complemented by a high collar with a zipper, finished with a soft chin guard.

MultiCam Camouflage

MultiCam is an advanced camouflage design created in 2002 by the American company Crye Precision in collaboration with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs) as part of the Objective Force Warrior initiative. The aim was to develop a versatile camouflage that performs effectively across various terrains and fluctuating environmental settings. The MultiCam design incorporates seven hues, facilitating smooth transitions among greens, browns, and beiges. This allows it to adapt seamlessly to different environments, reflecting greens in wooded areas and browns or beiges in desert landscapes. It is particularly effective in Central and Eastern European conditions during autumn and in dried vegetation landscapes. MultiCam has achieved global acclaim and is utilized by many military forces and elite units. In 2010, it was officially adopted by the US Army for troops deployed in Afghanistan, replacing the former Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). The pattern is also accessible to civilians, making it a favored selection among military and airsoft enthusiasts.

Review summary

Automatically prepared based on reviews

Reviews show this combat shirt and lightweight tactical top perform especially well under body armor or a plate carrier, and for training, range use, airsoft, and field activities. Users praise the high comfort, strong ventilation, quick drying, effective moisture management, solid construction, durable sleeves, practical pockets, and attractive look and camouflage. The shirt works especially well in warm weather and can also handle cooler conditions with an extra layer. The most common drawbacks are fairly stiff or narrow sleeves, sometimes sleeves that run long, and a torso fabric or sleeve print that can pill, snag, or fade over time. Sizing also gets mixed feedback, so choosing the size carefully is important. Even with those issues, most reviewers rate the overall value for money very highly.

    The sweatshirt is very carefully made, comfortable, and practical for everyday wear. The material is highly durable, fits the body well, and does not restrict movement. It performs excellently during demanding outdoor activity. The roomy pockets and solid finish also deserve praise. I definitely recommend it!

    A very comfortable combat shirt that wicks moisture effectively, so even at temperatures above 30°C it does not cause excessive sweating or overheating. The pockets for soft elbow pads are designed in an interesting way — they are accessible only from the inside of the sleeves, so you have to roll back the protector, but once inserted it stays in place well, and standard military "chocolate bar" pads fit. The sleeves show a bit of wear, but that is a minor drawback and it does not look bad. They are also narrower than in the MON version, which will be an advantage for some because they fit closer, and a disadvantage for others if they find them too tight.

    A very good and comfortable combat shirt, in my opinion one of the best available on the market. It is breathable, fits the body very well, and the build quality is of a high standard. The camouflage looks very good in person. The downside is that the pattern on the sleeves fades quite quickly, although even after a few washes it still looks quite good. The shirt is lightweight, dries quickly, and provides good ventilation.

    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.

    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.

    Purchased the black version for duty under a ballistic carrier; it feels comfortable on the body in summer, and there is no need to wear an undershirt underneath like with other versions. The cut is universal for different body types, it is long enough, and it does not come out of the trousers during movement. I will buy it again.

    An excellent-quality option for ASG shooting game enthusiasts and for people planning trips to military training grounds. The material is very breathable, fits the body well, and remains exceptionally lightweight.

    Purchased and worn as a replacement for a piece of issued gear (Czech Police brand), which in terms of quality would rate about 1.5 stars compared with Helikon. What is definitely better here is the material quality and the functional performance. The construction of the pockets and the cut are fine in my opinion. I do not see the absence of pockets for inserting protective pads in exposed areas as a problem, because I have never used that. As for the colour, I would say that this combat shirt does not have a problem with excessive fading or changing colour even after repeated washing, unlike the black MCDU and SFU trousers from Helikon, which are unfortunately worse in this respect. It is true, as someone here has already written, that the black colour is somewhat richer, and in direct sunlight, unlike some issued black uniform items, it appears darker. The problem that many people here have already mentioned is the quality of the material used for the functional part. It really only takes slight wear in combination with a plate carrier or vest for pilling and pulled threads to appear. The second thing I encountered, probably only me rather than others, even though several colleagues around me use this combat shirt, is the combination of materials used in the functional section. Most likely in combination with my sweat, after the first wash and then sweating in it again, the material immediately starts to smell very strongly. This then kept happening after every wash, with several products tried including antibacterial ones, yet after a few hours the smell would return, even though the first time the shirt lasted several days of use in very hot weather without starting to smell. In the end, what helped was washing it in vinegar water, and since then the shirt has again maintained a relative sense of freshness even after several days of use. I have encountered the same effect with several Helikon products, especially T-shirts. For me, this combat shirt is an acceptable basic option, but in terms of workmanship and quality there are much better alternatives, even in the same price category. At the current price of 1700 CZK, definitely not. A fair price should be around 1200 CZK or less.

    The shirt is comfortable, fits well, and does not restrict movement. The material is durable and wicks moisture well, which is especially noticeable during active movement. The stitching is high quality; I am satisfied with the purchase!

    I recommend choosing a larger size. Overall, it fits well, the material is of საკმაოდ good quality, and it seems to me that it will work well at the shooting range on cooler days. However, the price is a bit too high for this kind of clothing item.

    Great sweatshirt. I was considering size L, but in the end XL turned out to be a perfect choice. At 178 cm tall, 95 kg in weight, and 118 cm in the chest, it fits perfectly. Now it remains to be seen how long it will keep its quality.

    Excellent combat shirt; for that price, you get a quality shirt that will not let you down, just like all Helikon products. I have a lot of things from them, and they have never let me down.

    An amazing sweatshirt. It fits perfectly, as if it were made especially for me. It is very comfortable and well cut, and at the same time it does not feel tight. It also does not give the impression of being a shapeless, overly loose garment. The material feels exceptionally pleasant to the touch, and the seams look durable and carefully made. The size matches the chart provided in the description. I will definitely buy another one after some time.

    A great jacket for service personnel or students in uniformed classes. It may not replace a sweatshirt, but it works perfectly for late spring and early fall.

    This is a solid hoodie that holds up well against damage. I’ve been using it for almost a year, and there are still no visible signs of wear. It does have two drawbacks, though: the finishing could be better, because in some places threads are sticking out at the seams, as if the stitching hadn’t been properly finished. The second drawback is the zipper, which can pinch your chin if it isn’t zipped all the way up. In my opinion, a larger fabric guard would be enough to prevent this problem.
