I have three of the Helikon MCDU shirts,but their sleeves are thick and relatively heavy. This shirt is a lighter version of that, with thin sleeves, but still with sleeve pockets, which I like. The material is very thin everywhere, so it's good as a baselayer for hiking in spring or autumn. Sizing is similar to all other Helikon shirts and jackets. I buy a medium in everything and the medium here is correct for me. The only thing I'm not so keen on is that it's very long, but that's good if you tuck it into trousers.
Tailored for shooting enthusiasts, the shirt is crafted from thermoactive polyester with TopCool technology, which ensures breathability and efficient moisture control, keeping the polo dry over extended periods. The Polo Range shirt is suited for all climatic situations. Enhanced air circulation and thermal interaction with the surroundings are achieved through ventilation panels under the arms. In terms of appearance, it is similar to a Combat Shirt.
The shirt features a stiffened collar which prevents rolling, alongside zippered pockets on each shoulder that include velcro panels for attaching patches or emblems such as national flags, unit insignia, and Morale Patches. A glasses loop is also stitched beneath the neckline zipper.
Areas on the sides of the shirt, which are more prone to wear, are constructed from abrasion-resistant VersaStretch material.
Additionally, there are pockets on the elbows for inserting protective pads.

Perfect size—I wear XL, ordered XL and it fits perfectly. Quality also very good, 10/10. I highly recommend—it definitely won't be my last purchase from this brand.
-
Helikon shirt is very high quality, good materials, flawlessly made. Comfortable and I recommend it to everyone :)
-
The black version of this model is a great choice for me. The fabric is pleasant to the touch and provides good ventilation—even after prolonged wear, I felt comfortable. Well-fitted, does not restrict movement. Highly recommend.
-
I chose size XL at a height of 190 cm. I am very satisfied, especially since most people wear Olive or Coyote, and I stand out in a positive way ;) The sweatshirt fits well, it's neither too loose nor too tight. In my opinion, the collar could be a bit stiffer, but that's a matter of taste. I recommend it!
-
The long sleeve worked perfectly! It effectively wicks sweat, provides thermal comfort, and is exceptionally comfortable. Great for training and longer trips.
-
Very good product with high-quality workmanship. It has an attractive cut, holds its shape well, and provides warmth. I use it every day and recommend it, I have no complaints.

The shirt works great for shooters in the heat, fully consistent with the description and videos, the workmanship is at a very high level, every detail is well thought out for the user. Thanks to the manufacturer and seller for the high quality. The only downside was the delay in delivery to Kyiv—I ordered on 11.07.24, the delivery arrived on 20.07.24, I wish the declared 5 days had been met, but that's a minor issue. The quality is worth the inconvenience.
-
Very comfortable. The ventilation is excellently designed, which keeps thermal comfort even in heat up to 30 degrees. The sizes are rather standard; I wear M and that size fits me.
-
The sewing is very precise, and the material is elastic and looks nice. However, I think it's more suitable for office work than outside. The downside is the excessive length for size M – shortening will probably be necessary.
-
Works great as a layer over a thermal shirt, well-fitted and provides some wind protection. Does not restrict movement, very comfortable polo. Size XL is ideal for someone 178 cm tall and slightly overweight.
-
The sweatshirt is very comfortable to wear, flexible, and does not restrict movement. The pockets are placed in practical locations and the zippers work smoothly. It provides good protection against the cold. I recommend this product.
-
The blouse works great during spring and summer days – it is light, breathable, and perfect for both military (a good alternative for items like a combat shirt under a uniform shirt or thermal layer) and for people who wear military-style clothes casually.
-
The sweatshirt is very comfortable. So far, I have not noticed any flaws in the quality of workmanship. It retains warmth at the right level.
-
Great sweatshirt for summer – very breathable, gentle on the skin, and as light as silk. Perfect for various outdoor activities. Highly recommended.
