Helikon-Tex Raid Polycotton Stretch Rip-Stop Sweatshirt - Tiger Stripe

The uniform sweatshirt is crafted from PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric, containing 50% polyester, 48% cotton, and 2% elastane. This blend boasts high resistance to abrasion and tearing and is lighter and quicker to dry compared to 100% cotton material. The Raid model features a raglan construction, where the sleeves are stitched directly into the collar, eliminating shoulder seams.

Secured by patch-covered buttons, the sweatshirt offers 8 ergonomic pockets for practicality:
- two chest pockets with button closures,
- one pocket on each shoulder fastened with Velcro or a button,
- two flat, open pockets located on the shoulder pockets,
- two mesh pockets inside the sweatshirt, including one with a zipper and one open.

Pockets have handles in the form of loops, allowing you to tie down your gear to prevent loss during activity. Special reinforcements are located at the elbows in the form of a double-layer fabric, which also serves as pockets for protective foam pads. The cuff width is adjustable with Velcro.

Velcro tapes are sewn above the chest pockets, on the pockets, and shoulder flaps, enabling the attachment of emblems such as national flags, unit insignias, or Morale Patches, allowing you to personalize the sweatshirt.

Tiger Stripe is a family of camouflage patterns originating in Southeast Asia, the most popular variant of which is the pattern developed in the Republic of Vietnam. Its design is based on the French Lizard pattern, adapted for tropical conditions. Tiger Stripe consists of irregular, brushstroke-like stripes in shades of green and brown and wider, grayish lines, placed on an olive or khaki background. Such an arrangement works particularly well in dense jungles and tropical forests, where it effectively camouflages the silhouette among low and medium vegetation. The camouflage makes it difficult to detect at close range and allows one to blend into the dynamic, shaded vegetation background. The name "Tiger Stripe" alludes to the coat of tigers - the pattern imitates the natural striped color pattern, which works well in conditions that require effective contour breakdown in dense greenery.
