Great T-shirt, and it dries very quickly. A big plus is also the availability of larger sizes and the fact that it doesn’t cling tightly to the body, unlike some other clothes of this type. Those small pockets on the sides—I’m not sure what they’re for, but even a large phone fits in there with no problem. The only downside is the wide collar, although some people might like that (it doesn’t bother me).
Helikon-Tex Quickly Dry Functional Thermoactive T-shirt - Olive Green
Thermoactive short sleeve shirt made from a blend of quick-drying and breathable polyester and natural Sorona fibers. The material used provides not only durability, elasticity, and softness but also effective moisture wicking. The bacteriostatic properties of the yarn limit the growth of bacteria causing unpleasant odors.
quick-drying polyester, Sorona fibers
The model is made from a fabric combining polyester (43%) and Sorona fibers (57%), characterized by quick drying and moisture wicking, which helps maintain a feeling of dryness and comfort during wear. The addition of DuPont Sorona material reduces unpleasant odors, which is especially important during hiking on hot days. The loose fit ensures full freedom of movement.
UPF50 index blocks over 97.5% of UV rays, offering high protection against UV radiation. The anatomical fit does not restrict freedom of movement during physical activity, and flat seams protect the skin from abrasions.
2 flat pockets
On both sides of the shirt, there are flat pockets that allow for storing small, handy items like keys or a card.

I find this shirt very comfortable and it dries quickly which is important for me after a day of hiking the last thing you want is to be doing is waiting ages for a sweaty shirt to dry. I have not really found a use for the side pockets so I am not sure what they are intended for. During the winter I have been using this shirt as a base layer. I am very happy with the build quality and I really like the colours with OD being my favourite as it works well when a grey man vibe is what you're looking for.

Very good thermal shirt from Helikon. Dries quickly and provides excellent ventilation. I tested it in difficult, mountainous conditions and the quality is really high. I am very satisfied and definitely recommend it.
-
In my opinion, this is the best thermal active shirt to wear under a uniform. It really wicks away sweat effectively. The material feels pleasant to the touch and seems durable.

Comfortable Helikon shirt, a bit more expensive than TopCool or TopCool Lite. The user experience is similar – a slim fit, but the material is stretchy enough that you don't feel any discomfort. The pockets under the armpits don't really suit me – when carrying heavier loads or in hot weather they may cause chafing, unless you only carry a card in them. For me, it's an unnecessary addition. Still, I generally recommend it as a comfortable shirt for warm days!
-
This is definitely the best shirt of this type I've had. It surpasses even well-known foreign brands in quality and comfort, while also being cheaper. It's comfortable, practical, and has an interesting design. During reserve training, I wore it under my uniform instead of official clothes—it worked perfectly and didn't stand out as civilian attire. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
-
The material is a bit different from previous lite versions, but I still like it a lot. It’s breathable, barely touches the body, is extremely lightweight, and dries very quickly. I definitely recommend it.
-
The shirt is excellently made, and size M fits a person who is 180 cm tall and weighs 79 kg perfectly. It's ideal for summer activities. The extra pockets are practical for small items, although I personally don't use them :)
-
The shirt is carefully made, with a cut well tailored in both the waist and length. Very comfortable to wear and breathes very well. I especially recommend it as an alternative to the Tactical version. As always, lightning-fast shipping from Militaria.
-
Great shirt with a very good cut – quite long and fits well, rather designed for tall and slim people. The material feels nice and dries quickly, but for me personally it's quite warm, so it's better for use outside of hot summer days. The side pockets are not bothersome and are quite functional.
-
Great shirt, I only choose slim models and this one has just joined them. Very comfortable, fits well and does not restrict movement. Length is appropriate, sleeves are short. Perfect under a chest rig in summer.

There’s not much to add—Helikon is always a guarantee of quality and consistent sizing. The nice side pockets are very useful outdoors. An ideal choice for various expeditions, especially when it’s warm. As usual, express delivery.
