Helikon Defender Mk2 PolyCotton Ripstop Short Sleeve Shirt - Khaki

The shirt fits perfectly, is comfortable, and despite the thicker material, is also suitable for warmer days. Practical and elegant, it works for various occasions.

The color is great. It has a military character, but it's also suitable for everyday outings. The short sleeves will work well on hot days. The material is breathable and durable. I definitely recommend it.

Two years ago I bought a Defender shirt in olive shade and it still looks new because I didn't wear it very often. However, this year the heat was intense, so I decided that a lighter color would be better for everyday use. I chose size M again (I’m 176 cm/104 kg) and in over 30°C I wear it to work, shopping, and for walks. Combined with Helikon UTS shorts, I don’t mind the heat.

Looks fantastic and is a very elegant, well-fitted shirt. This is my third one already. The beautiful, vibrant sand color matches everything. The pockets are very functional and spacious – they easily hold a smartphone and documents. I'm 174 cm tall, weigh 100 kg, chest circumference 124 cm, size XXL fits perfectly and even leaves a bit of room to wear another shirt underneath, especially the long sleeve version. I am very satisfied with this next purchase. I have great respect for the MILITARIA PL store for high-quality service, a personalized approach to the customer, reliability, and fast processing.

The shirt looks excellent – elegant, well tailored. This is already the third in my collection. It stands out with a beautiful sand color that matches everything. The functional and spacious pockets easily hold a phone and documents. At 174 cm tall, 100 kg in weight, and a chest circumference of 124 cm, size XXL is ideal and still leaves enough room to wear an undershirt or thermal shirt underneath, especially with the long sleeve version. I am very satisfied with yet another purchase of this shirt. I value the MILITARIA PL online store for its professional, polite, and individualized service, as well as fast order fulfillment.

This is my first shirt from this brand, so I can’t assess its durability yet, but it’s exactly what I expected. I really like it. If it proves itself, I’ll buy another, this time with long sleeves. Regarding size: I ordered an M, it measures 56 cm across the chest (I'm 176 cm, 79 kg, and 104 cm chest circumference). This size is just right, there’s a little room left, a smaller one would probably be too tight.

Very good shirt. The fabric and stitching quality are top notch. The size matches the chart and the color looks great. I recommend Helikon's products—I only wear their shirts now.

I really appreciate the Helikon Defender series. I'm used to this cut and the pocket layout – to me it’s a bullseye. The shirt is solid, durable, and slightly elastic thanks to the elastane, though not very breathable. I mostly wear it as a second layer over a cotton or thermal shirt. It fits great and it’s hard to look bad in it. For my figure of 184 cm/100 kg, the XL size fits like it was made for me. I really like the civilian color.

This is another purchase after three Defenders with long sleeves. The shirt is comfortable, perfectly made, and very practical. It proved itself during summer trips around Lower Silesia castles. I honestly recommend it.

This is already my second piece from this series. The shirt is very functional and practical. Comfortable, made from good material, very well sewn, and the pockets turned out to be very useful. The khaki color is light and aesthetic. I am 180 cm tall, 80 kg, and size M fits with a bit of looseness.

I'm 186 cm tall and weigh 85 kg – size L fits perfectly! The shirt is slightly tailored, but doesn’t cling to the body and allows freedom of movement. The quality, as always with Helikon, is flawless. The material feels pleasant to the touch and seems durable; time will tell, but my experiences with Helikon make me think it will last a very long time! The store and shipping are also a big plus – I placed my order on Friday evening and it arrived at the parcel locker on Saturday morning, even during the holiday season! I don’t know how they do it, but they’re really great at it!

A very comfortable and cool shirt with practical pockets (for a shirt). The material is solid – it doesn’t wrinkle easily and irons well. Great cut. I don’t usually wear many shirts, but I really liked this one. As for size, I usually wear M, but here size S fits me just right.

I always preferred T-shirts and avoided shirts until I discovered the Defenders from Helikon. I ordered a short-sleeve shirt in olive green as a trial. After the first wear, I can say it's a bit stiff, but looks very good. I wore it alone or over a T-shirt in windy weather. Now I plan to buy more, also with long sleeves and in other colors.

Very comfortable and well-made shirt. The collar fits well, and the double chest pockets are practical. The material is stretchy, breathable, and wicks sweat well. Nice color. I recommend it!

The shirt fits well, the material is slightly elastic, and behaves well with movement. It is solidly made; we’ll see how it holds up after several washes.
