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 crafted from PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric composed of 50% polyester, 48% cotton, and 2% elastane. This material boasts exceptional resistance to abrasion and tearing, and is also lighter and dries quicker than fabrics made entirely of cotton. The Raid model features a raglan design, where the sleeves are directly attached to the collar, eliminating shoulder seams.
The sweatshirt is secured with patch-covered buttons, offering practicality through 8 ergonomic pockets:
- two buttoned pockets on the chest,
- one pocket on each shoulder, secured with Velcro or a button,
- two flat open pockets located on the shoulder areas,
- and two internal mesh pockets, one with a zipper and one open.
The pockets include loops to attach equipment securely, preventing loss during activity. Special reinforcements at the elbows consist of a double material layer, which can also serve as pockets for protective foam inserts. Cuff widths can be adjusted with Velcro.
Velcro strips are sewn above the chest pockets and on the shoulder pockets and flaps, which allow for the attachment of various emblems, like national flags, unit badges, or Morale Patches, giving the sweatshirt a personalized touch.

Camouflage Woodland
Woodland, also referred to as U.S. Woodland or M81, is a traditional camouflage design introduced to the US Armed Forces in the early 1980s, drawing from the earlier ERDL pattern. It served as the primary camouflage for the US military for over twenty years until the end of the first decade of the 2000s. This pattern is marked by large, random patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, offering excellent camouflage and disorientation capabilities, particularly in forested environments. Its effectiveness and worldwide recognition have given rise to numerous variants that have been integrated into over 60 uniform systems globally. Additionally, the pattern significantly influenced popular culture, transitioning from military use to everyday fashion.

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.
