Great quality, especially considering the price. The material allows the skin to breathe, and the numerous pockets are very functional. Size M may seem a bit too long for some people, but if the shirt is tucked into pants, it's not a problem.

The design is practically the same as the long-sleeved version. The sleeves are rather wide and do not have ventilation holes under the armpits, unlike the long-sleeved model, although in this case they are not necessary.

Overall, this is a very good shirt. It is exceptionally breathable and great for hot weather. The material does not crease, although sometimes small wrinkles appear after drying. The pockets are designed very practically. I'm becoming more and more convinced by this manufacturer!

Very well sewn shirt. Good and comfortable material. Nice additional pockets. Well chosen sizing. It has its military vibe but at the same time it's also suitable for everyday wear in the city, etc.

If it's absolutely necessary to wear a shirt, it has to be this one – comfortable, breathable, and it looks really good. My kid and I love ripstop for its durability and strength.

Unfortunately, I did not like the shirt. The advantages are a very nice color and an interesting design, but I noticed two flaws that made me return the shirt. First, it has a strange cut. Generally, size XL should fit me perfectly as with other brands (182cm / 100kg), but this shirt is tight across my back and underarms. The rest of the dimensions are fine, so I'm afraid XXL will be too big in the shoulders. The second flaw is that the material is not very pleasant, it's quite stiff, somewhat like a jacket. I know this is 'Rip-stop' with a synthetic blend, but I still prefer soft cotton.

The shirt fits well and is well made. I plan to order this model again. I chose size L and I am completely satisfied. At my height of 1.89 m and weight of 90 kg, it was the right choice.

Definitely a good shirt, great pockets. High quality workmanship. For me, a big plus for the proportion of materials. There hasn’t been any intense use yet, but it is light and comfortable to wear. At my height of 176 cm, size M fits well.

The shirts arrived very quickly, I bought two pieces, and previously I didn't have the version in Pine Green color. I already have the same model in other colors – they are comfortable and functional. Thank you.

The color is amazing. You can feel the military vibe, but it's also perfect for everyday wear. The short-sleeve version works well in summer. It's airy and sturdy. I recommend it.

The shirt fits perfectly, it's comfortable, and despite the thick material, it's also suitable for warmer days. It combines practicality with elegance, so it's suitable for various situations.

About two years ago I became the happy owner of a Defender shirt in olive color. I didn’t wear it too often, so it still looks like new, but this year the sun was really strong and I thought a lighter color would be more suitable for more frequent wear. I chose size M again (for my 176/104) and now I wear it at over 30°C to work, shopping, and on regular walks. Together with Helikon UTS shorts, even the heat from above is bearable.

Sensational and elegant shirt with a great cut. This is already my third one. Beautiful, sandy, expressive color that matches everything. Very good arrangement of functional and capacious pockets. They can easily fit a smartphone and documents. With my measurements: height 174 cm, weight 100 kg, chest width 124 cm, size XXL fits perfectly and there is still enough room not to restrict movement and, if necessary, you can easily wear a T-shirt or thermal shirt underneath, especially with the long sleeve model. I am very satisfied with yet another purchase of this shirt. I really appreciate the MILITARIA PL online store for its professionalism, friendly and competent customer service with an individual approach to the client, reliability, and fast order fulfillment.
