Great shirt in the typically high quality of the Helikon brand. If you prefer it to fit a bit more snugly, you should order one size smaller. I usually wear everything from the brand in size L, with a height of 1.90 m and a weight of 85 kilos. However, I had to order this shirt in size M and it fits very well.
The uniform sweatshirt is crafted from PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric consisting of 50% polyester, 48% cotton, and 2% elastane. This material offers excellent resistance to abrasion and tearing while being lighter and drying more quickly than 100% cotton. The Raid model features raglan construction, with sleeves sewn directly into the collar, eliminating shoulder seams.
The sweatshirt is secured with patch-covered buttons, and it includes 8 ergonomic pockets for practicality:
- two buttoned pockets on the chest,
- one pocket on each shoulder, fastened with either Velcro or a button,
- two flat open pockets on the shoulder pockets,
- two internal mesh pockets inside the sweatshirt, one zippered and one open.
The pockets feature handles in the form of loops, allowing you to attach your gear securely to prevent loss during activity. The elbows have special reinforcements comprising a double layer of material that also serves as pockets for protective foam pads. The cuffs' width can be adjusted with Velcro.
Above the chest pockets, as well as on the pockets and shoulder flaps, velcro tapes ( Velcro ) are attached, allowing for the addition of emblems such as national flags, unit insignias, or Morale Patches, providing the sweatshirt with a personalized touch.
