The vest is generally very comfortable, but the lack of a quick-release system makes putting it on and taking it off tiring. The side magazine pouches are fine, but the center pouch causes difficulties during quick magazine changes, which is a significant problem during intensive use.

MultiCam camouflage
MultiCam is an advanced camouflage pattern created in 2002 by Crye Precision, a US-based company, in partnership with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs) as part of the Objective Force Warrior program. The aim was to develop a versatile camouflage effective across various terrains and fluctuating environmental conditions. The MultiCam pattern features seven colors, blending gradients between shades of green, brown, and beige. This allows it to adapt dynamically to its surroundings, appearing greener in wooded areas and browns and beiges in desert landscapes - it is particularly effective in autumn and among dry vegetation in Central and Eastern Europe. MultiCam has achieved global recognition, being used by numerous military forces and special operations units. In 2010, the US Army officially adopted this camouflage for soldiers in Afghanistan, replacing the previous Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). The pattern is also accessible to civilians, making it a popular option among military and airsoft enthusiasts.

Very good vest: lightweight, modular, and durable. Both Grot and Beryl magazines fit in the pouches (but Grot magazines are easier to insert and remove). With the dangler, the whole set is really solid gear.
-
The quality of HELIKON products speaks for itself. This is an excellent vest for both military enthusiasts and people who spend time at the shooting range recreationally. Professionals will also be satisfied with this purchase. The vest is very well made, and its MultiCam Black color is my favorite, right next to the coyote version.
-
The vest is very comfortable and highly modular – anyone can easily adjust it to themselves. It is durable, and a big advantage is the wz 93 camouflage, which really matches the original.
-
Very good, functional vest – it's worth having as a complete set. Well-made and fits well. I recommend the purchase; in my opinion, it's one of the best Polish vests.
-
The Helikon Guardian plate carrier seems durable, and I plan to modify it and add new accessories. It will be used during shooting range training and trips to the forest. So far, it looks very good. Size L, because M is really small.
-
Advantages: - the vest is very lightweight, - wz.93 pattern, - the velcro panel holds well, making it easy to put on and take off, - the shoulder straps are straight, not angled like in other vests, so they don’t slip down while running, - the circumference adjustment is simple. Disadvantages: - small internal pocket under the panel, - price is high.
-
The vest is very lightweight. I’m 180 cm tall and weigh 100 kg, and it fits well. Size L ballistic plates (31.5×24.5×2.5 cm) fit without issue. You can expand it with additional elements. Recommended!
-
Excellent vest! Very easy to adjust to different garments. At 190 cm tall, size L fits perfectly. Grot magazines or a radio fit easily in the pouches. After purchasing a dangler, the setup works very well. There’s space for both M and L plates.
-
The Helikon Guardian Military Set modular tactical vest in PL Woodland camouflage, designed for size L plates, is an essential piece of equipment for every outdoor enthusiast. Its versatile design and solid construction ensure not only a high level of protection but also user comfort and easy customization thanks to its modular build. The best choice for various uses and field conditions. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a reliable and universal vest!
-
It looks great in the photos, but when I received the package, I thought it must be a mistake. After opening it, I was even more disappointed. Size L looked like it was meant for an 11-year-old child. I am 180 cm tall, and the L version fits more for someone around 160 cm.
-
Remarkable vest! Very easy to adjust to different types of clothing. I chose size L at 190 cm tall and it fits me perfectly. Grot magazines or a radio fit in the pouches easily. I added a dangler and the whole set works great. You can use both M and L plates.
-
Great and very practical vest – I recommend completing the full set. The vest is neatly sewn and fits well. I recommend the purchase; I think it's one of the top products on the Polish market.
