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 (composed of 50% polyester, 48% cotton, and 2% elastane). This makes it highly resistant to abrasion and tearing, while being lighter and quicker-drying than pure cotton fabric. The Raid model features a raglan construction, where the sleeves are sewn directly into the collar, eliminating shoulder seams.
This sweatshirt is secured with patch-covered buttons and offers practicality with 8 ergonomic pockets:
- two chest pockets that are buttoned,
- one on each shoulder, fastened with either Velcro or a button,
- two flat open pockets situated on the shoulder,
- two mesh inner pockets within the sweatshirt—one with a zipper and another that is open.
The pockets are fitted with handles in the form of loops, allowing you to secure your gear to avoid losing it during activities. The elbows are reinforced with a double layer of material, which 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 sewn to attach emblems like national flags, unit emblems, or Morale Patches, allowing you to give the sweatshirt a personalized touch.
