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 and lightweight tactical Combat Shirt designed to complement the Modern Battle Dress Uniform (MBDU). The sleeves are crafted from a blend of cotton, polyester, and elastane, known for their high resistance to tears and abrasion. Meanwhile, the central section of the sweatshirt is made from TopCool, an elastic and breathable polyester fabric, providing a snug fit and unrestricted movement.
Both shoulders feature pockets secured with YKK zippers. The pockets are equipped with velcro panels, enabling the attachment of various emblems such as national flags, unit insignias, or Morale Patches for a personalized touch.
Cuffs are adjustable with Velcro, allowing for precise size adjustment to fit the wrist snugly. Reinforced hems at the elbows offer additional abrasion protection.
A high collar with a zipper closure permits regulation of airflow beneath the garment, with the collar stand finished with a chin guard.

Camouflage Tiger Stripe
Tiger Stripe is a series of camouflage patterns that originated in Southeast Asia, with the most well-known variant being the pattern created in the Republic of Vietnam. Inspired by the French Lizard pattern, it is tailored for tropical environments. Tiger Stripe features uneven, brushstroke-like stripes in various shades of green and brown, with broader, grayish bands on an olive or khaki base. This configuration is particularly effective in dense jungles and tropical forests, where it efficiently camouflages individuals among low and mid-height vegetation. The pattern complicates detection at close proximity and enables blending into the dynamic, shadowed backdrop of vegetation. The designation "Tiger Stripe" refers to the tiger's coat, mimicking its natural striping, which is effective for breaking up contours in lush greenery.

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.

Product of very good quality. Highly recommended! Delivery as usual, very fast.
