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 tactical Combat Shirt that is both lightweight and durable, designed to complement the Modern Battle Dress Uniform (MBDU) field attire. The sleeves are crafted from a blend of cotton, polyester, and elastane, offering high resistance to tears and abrasions. Conversely, the middle section of the shirt is made from TopCool, a stretchy and breathable polyester fabric, ensuring a snug fit and ease of movement.
Both shoulders feature pockets with YKK zipper closures. Velcro panels are attached to these pockets, which allow for the addition of various emblems, such as a national flag, a unit emblem, or Morale Patches, giving the shirt a customizable look.
The cuffs, fastened with Velcro, enable adjustment for a precise fit to the wrist's thickness. Additional reinforcement at the elbows provides protection against abrasion.
An adjustable high collar with a zipper allows for controlling airflow beneath the garment. The collar stand includes a chin guard for additional comfort.

Camouflage Woodland
Woodland, also referred to as U.S. Woodland or M81, is a traditional camouflage pattern adopted by the US Armed Forces in the early 1980s, developed from the earlier ERDL design. For more than twenty years, it served as the primary camouflage pattern for the US military until the close of the first decade of the 21st century. It is marked by large, irregular patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, which offer excellent concealment and disruption capabilities, particularly in forested environments. Because of its effectiveness and widespread recognition, it has led to numerous adaptations that have been incorporated into over 60 uniform designs worldwide. The pattern has also significantly influenced popular culture, transitioning from military use to everyday fashion.

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.
