The sweatshirt is very comfortable and well-made. The materials and workmanship are of a high standard. I usually choose size L, but in this case, size M fits me better. I highly recommend it.
-
Very comfortable, with numerous pockets, well made. The Velcros hold the patches securely. The downside is the need for precise size selection, because I needed minor adjustments for a perfect fit. Other than that, everything is fine.
-
Highly recommend – I have three sweatshirts of this model in different colors. It's a great work sweatshirt with lots of pockets. The material is quite stiff at first, but after several washes and use in the field it becomes softer. Durable, I can highly recommend it.

I bought the Helikon SFU Next uniform sweatshirt in PL Woodland Wz.93 camouflage and I am very satisfied. The Rip-Stop material is light but very durable, and the sweatshirt itself is comfortable to wear. It is equipped with numerous practical pockets that work great in the field, and the adjustable cuffs and collar provide a good fit. The camouflage works perfectly in a forest environment. High quality at a reasonable price. I recommend it!
-
The uniform sweatshirt is of good quality, but the cut does not suit me – despite being the right size, it is very oversized, especially too much material under the armpits.
-
I bought this jacket to match the pants from the same series. I am happy with the purchase – the pockets are comfortable and well positioned. I will assess durability over time and let you know.
-
The sweatshirt is well sewn, has an interesting style, and lots of practical pockets; made from solid material. The size was right, though in my case the sleeves could be a little longer, but you can't have everything. I recommend it.
-
I am 182 cm tall and weigh about 80 kg – size M is ideal in terms of sweatshirt and sleeve length. A bit wide and baggy, but this does not restrict movement. The sweatshirt has convenient buttons, plenty of pockets, and the workmanship quality is very good.
-
Helikon is a reliable brand – the best recommendation is that I have already bought my fourth Helikon SFU Next sweatshirt, each in a different color. I am fully satisfied with the cut, material, and workmanship quality.

Very comfortable sweatshirt, I previously had the BDU version in 3-color desert and woodland, and the comfort of use is similar despite replacing buttons with velcro, which speeds up access to the pockets. The sweatshirt is well-made, the pockets are roomy, but compared to the classic BDU, they fit a bit fewer items, and the velcro probably won't hold as much weight as buttons, which always worked well on M65 pants and jackets after modifications. However, these sweatshirts are not designed for carrying heavy loads but for storing small items like a knife, firestarter, compass, lighter, or wallet, which tend to end up in the backpack anyway from experience. The sweatshirt is excellently sewn and looks good, in my opinion better than the BDU. The ripstop material is flawless, and the extra shoulder pockets are a plus. I am very satisfied with it, and it goes great with BDU pants in the same color.
-
Very good quality product. The material is pleasant to the touch, well stitched. Lots of practical pockets. The size was perfect. The package arrived in Ukraine within a week. Huge thanks to the store for great service!
-
Every Helikon Tex garment is of very good quality, and the material—60% cotton and 40% polyester—is a great choice: it gets dirty less easily and dries faster, without losing breathability. The SFU cut itself is excellent, in my opinion better than the CPU. I own the complete SFU wz.93 set (pants and sweatshirt) and I am very satisfied.
-
The SFU series jacket surprised me positively with its appearance and quality, even though I have previously worn CPU models. It goes very well with both cargo pants, tactical pants, and jeans. In summary, I am very satisfied with this purchase.
-
The material is high quality, excellently sewn. It's a pity there's no zipper, but the large number of velcro patches allows for many insignias to be attached. The sweatshirt will last a long time, like others in this series. Since it works, it's time to buy the next one.
