I am very satisfied with the purchase. The material of the sleeves is extremely durable, and the TopCool lining provides excellent ventilation — wearing it is exceptionally comfortable. The pockets placed on the shoulders are functional, and the velcro panels allow for quick attachment of patches. I also appreciate the zippered collar and the adjustable cuffs. The PL Woodland camouflage works great in the field. This is truly a solid sweatshirt!
Helikon MCDU NyCo Rip-Stop Combat Shirt - wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland
A functional and durable tactical Combat Shirt designed as part of the Modern Battle Dress Uniform (MBDU). The sleeves are made of NYCO fabric – a blend of cotton and nylon characterized by high resistance to abrasion and tearing. The central part of the shirt is made of elastic and breathable TopCool polyester fabric, which guarantees a good fit and full freedom of movement.
By choosing a set consisting of the Helikon MCDU Combat Shirt NyCo RipStop wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland and the Helikon SFU Next PolyCotton RipStop wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland pants, you get a uniform set with properties similar to the standard uniform used by the Polish Army.
Shoulder pockets with YKK zippers and Velcro panels
Both sleeves feature pockets fastened with YKK zippers, complemented by double Velcro panels allowing for attachment of various patches – from flags and unit insignia to Morale Patches. This makes the shirt customizable to individual user preferences.
Adjustable cuffs, reinforced zones, collar with cover
The Velcro-adjustable cuffs allow for a precise fit to the wrist circumference. The elbow area has been additionally reinforced with stitching, which increases wear resistance in the most exposed areas. The design is complemented by a high collar with a zipper, finished with a soft chin guard.

There are two types of material. Perfect under a vest. I recommend choosing the size according to your own measurements and not following the model's size. The fit is rather snug. If you prefer looser clothing, it's better to take a larger size. The material breathes well.
-
Great sweatshirt. Wonderfully made. A combination of two materials. Perfect both as standard and under vests. Typical size. If someone wants a looser fit, it's better to take a larger one because the model is rather fitted to the body. Sleeves are wider. Breathable.
-
A high-quality product with a military style. Ideal for people with broader shoulders. The material is elastic and fits the figure perfectly. The garment is practical, breathable, and made from quick-drying fabric. There are many interesting colors to choose from.
-
Very good quality product, both the material and the stitching are flawless. Very flexible sweatshirt, fits the figure well. Slight minus – after several washes at the recommended temperature, the color faded a bit.
-
As always, Helikon presents great quality. The combat fits the figure perfectly. The material is breathable, lightweight, and dries quickly, which I confirmed on the training ground. For 183 cm and 95 kg, size L is perfect.
-
I'm very satisfied with this hoodie. It works perfectly for both indoor and outdoor training. After washing, it still looks great and retains its shape.
-
I bought this sweatshirt and I am fully satisfied – it fits perfectly. However, I recommend choosing a size larger than usual; I usually wear M, but chose L and it's good. I'm already taking it out into the field for tests and I know these won't be my last purchases from this brand. Additionally, I placed the order on Sunday and by Monday at 1 PM the parcel was already with me – full professionalism from Militaria.
-
One of the best combat shirts available on the market. Very comfortable in dynamic situations, practical pockets, high quality finish, dries quickly.
-
The Helikon MCDU Pantera PL Woodland shirt is top-notch! Durable, comfortable, excellently camouflages. NyCo Rip-Stop material ensures longevity. Great for expeditions and special missions. Highly recommended!
-
Very nice shirt, although it should be noted that the sizing is intended more for slim and tall people. At my height of 175 cm and weight of 80 kg, size M was quite long, and the sleeves were too long, and the Velcro on the cuffs is uncomfortable. After some tailoring – shortening and narrowing the sleeves and sewing in a zipper – the shirt is now perfect.
-
The combat shirt is good, there are better options on the market, but for this price there is nothing to complain about. The material on the chest and stomach is breathable, and the YKK zippers work perfectly. Personally, I’m not a fan of the forearm construction, as there is a lot of material that cannot be comfortably rolled up.
-
The sweatshirt is sturdy and comfortable thanks to the NyCo Rip-Stop material. Practical pockets and good ventilation work well when used outdoors. The soft collar improves comfort. In my opinion, this is one of the best combat shirts I've ever had.
-
The sweatshirt was used intensively throughout the summer season during field trips. Very nice material, fits well and does not wrinkle. The pockets on the sleeves are very practical and can hold various gadgets.
-
I’ve been using this product for almost a year, so I can recommend it. It greatly increases comfort when worn under a vest instead of a classic uniform. Flag spaces on the sides. The sleeves are a bit hard, but after using fabric softener in the wash, it is really good.
