Great shirt in the typically high quality of the Helikon brand. If you prefer it to fit a bit more snugly, you should order one size smaller. I usually wear everything from the brand in size L, with a height of 1.90 m and a weight of 85 kilos. However, I had to order this shirt in size M and it fits very well.
The uniform sweatshirt is crafted from PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric, composed of 50% polyester, 48% cotton, and 2% elastane. This fabric is notably resistant to abrasion and tearing, while being lighter and drying quicker than pure cotton fabric. The design of the Raid model features a raglan construction, with sleeves sewn directly into the collar to eliminate shoulder seams.
The sweatshirt fastens with patch-covered buttons, offering functionality with 8 ergonomic pockets:
- two buttoned pockets on the chest,
- one pocket on each shoulder, closed with either Velcro or a button,
- two flat, open pockets located on the shoulder pockets,
- two internal mesh pockets within the sweatshirt, one zippered and the other open.
The pockets include handles formed by loops, allowing you to secure equipment to prevent loss during activity. The elbows feature special reinforcements with a double layer of material, which also serve as pockets for protective foam pads. The cuff width can be adjusted using Velcro.
Above the chest pockets and on the pockets and shoulder flaps, Velcro strips are sewn to allow attachment of emblems such as national flags, unit insignias, or Morale Patches, enabling a personalized touch to the sweatshirt.
