Helikon-Tex Raid Polycotton Stretch Rip-Stop Sweatshirt - US Woodland

Uniform sweatshirt made of PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop (50% polyester, 48% cotton, 2% elastane), a fabric with high abrasion and tear resistance. The Raid model has a raglan construction, which means that the sleeves are sewn directly into the collar, thus eliminating shoulder seams.

The button fastening with a concealed flap ensures an aesthetic appearance and protection against snagging. The practicality of the model is enhanced by 8 ergonomic pockets:

• two buttoned chest pockets,
• one hook-and-loop or buttoned pocket on each shoulder,
• two flat, open pockets on the shoulders,
• two inner mesh pockets – one zippered, the other open.

Each pocket has handles in the form of loops, which allow you to attach your equipment and prevent it from getting lost while moving. The elbows have reinforcements made of a double layer of material, which also serve as pockets for foam inserts. The width of the cuffs can be adjusted with Velcro.

Velcro straps have been sewn above the chest pockets and on the shoulder pockets and flaps, which allows you to attach any emblems, such as a national flag, unit emblem or morale patches. This allows the jacket to be personalized to suit the user's needs.

The raglan design means that the sleeves reach all the way down to the chest, eliminating shoulder seams. This solution, often found in sportswear, ensures maximum freedom of movement and increased flexibility.

• raglan design
• durable PolyCotton Rip-Stop blend
• 8 practical pockets
• button closure covered with a strip
• Velcro straps for personalization

Woodland, also known as U.S. Woodland or M81, is a classic camouflage pattern introduced to the US Armed Forces in the early 1980s, based on the earlier ERDL camouflage. For over two decades, it remained the standard pattern used by the US military until the end of the first decade of the 21st century. It is characterized by large, irregular patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, which provide good camouflage and deformation properties, especially in wooded areas. Thanks to its effectiveness and global recognition, it has spawned numerous variations that have found their way into over 60 uniform formations around the world. The pattern has also had a huge impact on popular culture, shifting from military applications to everyday fashion.
