Providing both comfort and functionality, the tactical short sleeve shirt in Black is crafted with uniformed professionals in mind, while also catering to active users seeking superior quality and everyday practicality.

The fabric is reinforced with a Ripstop weave, which is characterized by resistance to tearing and abrasion, making the shirt ideal for any activity, both outdoors and in the city.

    Like everything from Helikon. The shirt is extremely functional. It's a bit stiff, but it doesn't restrict movement and is breathable. It looks good. For me, it's unbeatable. I will definitely order a few more pieces in other colors.

    Size: XL

    A good shirt for summer, although the material is, as previous reviewers have already noticed, quite stiff. It is not soft, loose cotton. Even so, a plus for the pockets, including the zippered ones. Great for long trips, especially for hotel key cards.

    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 color is amazing. It has a military vibe, but it's also perfect for everyday wear. The short-sleeve version will work well in the summer. It's airy and solid. I recommend it.
