Great sweatshirt with a hybrid design – breathable topcool material on the torso and durable, stiffer material on the sleeves, resistant to tearing. Thoughtful design – you don't have to worry about accidentally catching on branches because the sleeves are solid. Velcro and sleeve pockets are a big plus. The only minor drawback is the high collar, which might be a bit annoying for people with a beard when turning your head, but when buying this type of sweatshirt, you have to keep that in mind. Ideal for transitional seasons – spring and autumn. Rather too warm for summer. Highly recommended!
A robust yet lightweight tactical Combat Shirt designed to accompany the Modern Battle Dress Uniform (MBDU) field outfit. The sleeves are crafted from a cotton, polyester, and elastane mix, known for its exceptional tear and abrasion resistance. Contrastingly, the sweatshirt's central portion is made from TopCool, a breathable and elastic polyester fabric that ensures a comfortable fit and unrestricted movement.
Each shoulder features pockets secured with YKK zippers. Velcro panels are stitched onto the pockets, allowing you to attach various emblems, such as national flags, unit insignias, or Morale Patches, providing a personalized touch to the sweatshirt.
The Velcro-adjustable cuffs enable precise sizing to accommodate wrist thickness. Elbow area hems offer additional reinforcement against wear.
A high collar with a zip closure allows for regulating airflow under the garment, and the collar stand is finished with a chin guard.

Camouflage Desert Night Camo
Rhodesian Camo is a classic camouflage pattern developed in the 1960s for the Rhodesian Armed Forces (today's Zimbabwe). Created for warfare during conflicts in the region, especially the so-called Bush War (1964-1979), it was adapted to the conditions of southern Africa - dry bushland, grassy plains and low vegetation. The pattern is distinguished by its unique hand-painted appearance reminiscent of brushstrokes. It consists of irregular horizontal shapes in shades of green and brown, placed on a light green or sandy background. With a three-color contrasting palette and an arrangement that resembles natural elements of the environment - such as leaves, branches and grasses - the camouflage effectively diffuses the outline of the silhouette and makes it difficult to detect in the densely vegetated landscape.

This is my first shirt from Helikon and definitely won't be my last. The material it's made from is really high quality. The shirt is comfortable to wear. I chose size 2XL – at 198 cm tall and 110 kg, it fits perfectly.
-
Very comfortable and well-made tactical sweatshirt. It works well in various weather conditions during outdoor activities. Comfortable even when worn all day.

Like every combat shirt from Helikon, it's very comfortable and worth its price, although it's worth waiting for promotions. The camouflage looks great in person. The sizing matches the chart. I definitely recommend it.

Great combat shirt, one of the most breathable I've ever had. You can clearly feel the solid craftsmanship and quality materials. It is extremely comfortable and airy, works brilliantly under ballistic gear. I'm very satisfied with it.

Great combat shirt, one of the most breathable I've had so far. You can see solid craftsmanship and the use of good materials. It is very comfortable and allows air to pass through well, works perfectly under ballistic gear. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

The workmanship is top level, and the camouflage is great for outdoor activities, for example during airsoft :) I recommend trying it on before purchasing to choose the right size.

I am 190 cm tall, weigh 95 kg, and I chose size XL. The shirt fits perfectly, it doesn't feel tight or restrict movement. The material on the sleeves is harder and thicker, while on the torso and back it's very soft and breathable – everything as described. I chose this camo version to match my already owned UTP and MCDU pants.

The price is high, but it matches the good quality, though it could be even better. I've been using this product for a few months and overall I'm satisfied, though there was one issue. On the sides of the shirt, the fabric started to pill a lot, probably due to friction with the vest – so I recommend using a chest rig (I now use a training mini rig and the problem disappeared). Apart from this one flaw, everything else is great, solidly made, and well thought out, so despite this small minus, I recommend this product.
