As usual, it's hard to find the right size. I usually wear XL or XXL because I have a larger build, but here the size L turned out to be a bit too big. I thought about picking size M, but I wanted to be able to wear this sweatshirt over a thicker hoodie before the winter comes and I have to wear a coat. The sweatshirt is well-made, very comfortable, and thanks to the large number of pockets I often don’t need to take a bag – everything fits in the sweatshirt, even large headphones, so it works great for work.

Unusual sizing chart, I can't relate to it. Usually XXL barely fits, but here the sweatshirt is too big, has sleeves that are too long, and is too short. I took advantage of a promotion, but I somewhat regret this decision.

I bought it to go with the "Helikon-Tex UTP PolyCotton Rip-Stop Pants - Shadow Grey." Absolutely brilliant jacket, even for summer. It's very hard for it to get soaked; I stood at a bus stop in it in the rain for about 40 minutes and stayed dry underneath. Water drops brush off the material very easily, if they don’t just slide off on their own. Perfect to wear together with a thermal shirt. The deep pockets are ideally placed, for example, those on the sleeves—I've already designated them for a bandage and dressings, and the deep one on the belly for a power bank. Super comfortable and gives very good protection against strong wind. If someone needs a jacket for everyday use, with enough pocket space that you don't have to carry a backpack, this is just right, especially since it’s made with Rip-Stop, so there’s no worry about tearing it on something. The buttons are also protected by the material, so even in a crowded bus you don’t have to worry about someone accidentally ripping them off.

Very happy with this shirt. Good quality material and stitching, 6 large pockets and a nice comfortable fit. Works well with a hoodie underneath and BDU trousers. As usual professional service from this company and fast delivery to the UK. Recommended

I am very satisfied with the quality, the materials used, and the price – everything meets my expectations. Once again, Helikon did not disappoint me. Six pockets allow for convenient storage of all the necessary items. Even after extended use and several washes, I have not noticed any signs of wear.

The material is initially a bit stiff. After a few washes, it becomes softer and more comfortable. Other than that, I have no complaints – it is well-made, durable, and equipped with plenty of pockets. Available in many colors. Definitely worth recommending.

As always, the stitching at Helikon is of a high standard, and the material is also of great quality. The whole thing is quite stiff – this has both pros and cons. Before buying, it's a good idea to check the pocket layout, because it may not suit everyone.

Great sweatshirt, I bought it on sale, but even at the regular price you can see that it's well made. The size seems to match the chart. I definitely recommend it!

The sweatshirt is very comfortable and well-made. The materials and workmanship are of a high standard. I usually choose size L, but in this case, size M fits me better. I highly recommend it.

Very comfortable, with numerous pockets, well made. The Velcros hold the patches securely. The downside is the need for precise size selection, because I needed minor adjustments for a perfect fit. Other than that, everything is fine.

Highly recommend – I have three sweatshirts of this model in different colors. It's a great work sweatshirt with lots of pockets. The material is quite stiff at first, but after several washes and use in the field it becomes softer. Durable, I can highly recommend it.

I bought the Helikon SFU Next uniform sweatshirt in PL Woodland Wz.93 camouflage and I am very satisfied. The Rip-Stop material is light but very durable, and the sweatshirt itself is comfortable to wear. It is equipped with numerous practical pockets that work great in the field, and the adjustable cuffs and collar provide a good fit. The camouflage works perfectly in a forest environment. High quality at a reasonable price. I recommend it!

The uniform sweatshirt is of good quality, but the cut does not suit me – despite being the right size, it is very oversized, especially too much material under the armpits.

I bought this jacket to match the pants from the same series. I am happy with the purchase – the pockets are comfortable and well positioned. I will assess durability over time and let you know.

The sweatshirt is well sewn, has an interesting style, and lots of practical pockets; made from solid material. The size was right, though in my case the sleeves could be a little longer, but you can't have everything. I recommend it.
