The old-school style of the sweatshirt in a modern edition – a combination of tradition and innovation. There are pockets both on the chest and on the sleeves, and they can be closed with either Velcro or a button according to your preference. No lower pockets. I recommend it!

The uniform sweatshirt is made of PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric (50% polyester, 48% cotton, 2% elastane), which is highly resistant to abrasion and tearing, and is also lighter and dries faster than 100% cotton fabric. The Raid model uses a raglan construction. The sleeves are sewn directly into the collar, which means no shoulder seams.
The sweatshirt is fastened with patch-covered buttons, and practicality is provided by 8 ergonomic pockets:
- two located on the chest buttoned,
- one on each shoulder, fastened with Velcro or a button,
- two flat open ones located on the shoulder pockets,
- two mesh pockets inside the sweatshirt, one with a zipper and one open.
The pockets are equipped with handles in the form of loops, to which you can tie your equipment so that you do not lose it during activity. On the elbows there are special reinforcements in the form of a double layer of material, which also serves as pockets for protective foam pads. The width of the cuffs is adjustable with Velcro.
Above the chest pockets and on the pockets and shoulder flaps were sewn velcro tapes ( Velcro ) allowing to attach any emblems, such as the national flag, the emblem of the unit or the so-called Morale Patches, so you can give the sweatshirt an individual character.

Camouflage Rhodesian 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.

The sweatshirt is great – especially this color makes it look very elegant. The pockets are very spacious, and especially the internal ones are uniquely designed – the right one can hold a map, while the left one, which closes with a zipper, goes all the way to the armpit but is a bit too short for a map. In my opinion, it's another successful product from Helikon.

This sweatshirt is really great! It's comfortable, fits well, and stands out with its unique, historical camouflage. Makes you want to roll up your sleeves and buy some shorts, too. Rhodesians never die! ;)

The sweatshirt is very well made. Typical Helikon quality, but because of the color it heats up quickly and you can really see the dust on it.

The Helikon RAID sweatshirt is a solid and functional product. It has an excellent cut and many practical, well-placed pockets—from classic slanted chest pockets to multi-compartment ones on the sleeves and internal zippered pockets. Another plus is the durable rip-stop material in the Rhodesian Brushstroke camouflage, which works great in Polish forests. It is definitely worth recommending.

The Tiger Stripe patterned sweatshirt is fantastic. Below, I am posting a link to an example set with SFU Next 2 pants and a hat: https://youtu.be/nVrbq3TXdB8?si=vg7ZP-Qf3bidW6Lw

The sweatshirt is well-made, the size matches the chart, and the cut is also good—it fits well. The material is quite thick and warm, so I wouldn't recommend it for hot days. It looks nice, with a classic woodland pattern.

The sweatshirt is well made and durable. The large selection of colors deserves recognition. It has many pockets where you can store all the necessary items. I encourage you to try it out.
