Helikon-Tex Defender Mk2 Tropical Shirt - Silver Mink

Comfortable and lightweight long sleeve shirt, made of quick-drying and elastic material, in Silver Mink color. It is primarily intended for uniformed services officers, but also for active people who appreciate high quality and practical application. Its loose fit harmonizes with the anatomy of movement, a low-profile ballistic vest, or an IWB (Inside the Waistband) holster.

YKK zippers

Lightweight polyester construction, UPF rating

The shirt is made of lightweight and breathable polyester with a grammage of 78 g/m2, which is characterized by tear and abrasion resistance, making it ideal for any activity, both in the field and in the city, especially in warmer days. Under the arms, there are mesh panels that improve air circulation and increase comfort during intense exertion. The Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) for the Defender Mk2 shirt is >30.

4 practical pockets

The shirt is equipped with four practical pockets arranged at chest height:

  • two main ones, with flaps closed with velcro, with top access
  • two napoleon pockets located behind the main pockets, closed with light and durable YKK zippers

Reinforced collar, glasses loop

The main closure is a button strip, on which a loop is sewn to conveniently hang glasses. A small reinforcement in the front part under the collar prevents it from rolling.

    The material of the shirt is really amazing. The shirt is light, airy, and dries quickly. Sewn as you can expect from Helikon - perfectly. This is already another shirt from the mk 2 series, and this time I am also extremely satisfied. I will definitely reach for Helikon shirts again - I recommend it.

    Size: XL

    After trying the Dark Olive variant and seeing for myself its breathability, airiness, and quick-drying properties, I decided on the Silver Mink variant. The cut and size are great. It fits perfectly. I have a strange feeling about this color. It seems ashy, grayish. But every time I look at it, I get the impression that the color has a subtle pinkish tint. I don't know what causes that. In any case, for summer days or for a warm office during many hours of sitting, it's fantastic. Even if you sweat, you'll dry quickly. There isn't that unpleasant feeling of the shirt "sticking" to your body. Comfort and convenience. It would be nice to have more colors to choose from - I'd grab them all :)

    This is another shirt from this brand that I have bought, and as always my impressions are very positive. It has a well-designed, modern, and fitted cut. Both the accessories and the material are of high quality. The pockets have been placed in a very practical way. It is an aesthetically pleasing tactical shirt.

    Size: S

    A very pleasant shirt, good both buttoned up and worn open with a T-shirt underneath. The only downside is that I followed the suggestion that size M might be too big for someone 175 cm tall. I took size S and it fits just right, only the sleeves are slightly too short. Overall, a very good impression.

    Size: M

    The shirt is of excellent quality, breathable and lightweight, while not restricting freedom of movement. The size fits well — size M was chosen for a height of 1.70 m and a weight of 73 kg. It works great both for camping and for everyday wear.

    Size: L

    The shirt is very thin, perfect for hot days. Very breathable, but at the same time it seems durable. Comfortable chest pockets, but rather for light pieces of gear. Size L is fine for 178 cm and 82 kg.

    The shirt is very light and comfortable. The material is rather thin, so it may not be very durable, but thanks to this it is breathable and airy. Additionally, there are ventilation holes under the armpits to increase air circulation. At a height of 188 cm and a weight of 100 kg, size L fit me perfectly.

    Awesome shirt, 10/10. It saved me during the last heatwave. It blocks the sun, is super airy, and perfectly absorbs sweat and dries quickly. It works a bit like thermal underwear and doesn't smell after a whole day's wear.

    Revelation, typical Helikon quality, lightweight and breathable, a huge plus for me for the Napoleon pockets as well as the loops for hanging glasses. The only thing I would change is I would add buttons above the elbow to fasten rolled-up sleeves.

    Hi, The shirt is very breathable and fairly well-tailored, comfortable to wear. However, I have two observations resulting from use by a person who is 190 cm tall: 1. The sleeves are a bit too short – in my case, an additional 3–4 cm in length would solve this issue. 2. When reaching your arms forward or lifting them, the sleeves ride up, exposing the wrist by even about 5 cm. It would be very good if, in the future, more 'mountain-style' or functional cuts could be considered, in which the sleeve stays in place during movement. This seems achievable without a significant increase in production costs. Additionally – it is worth considering expanding the available color palette and adding a button in the middle of the sleeve to fasten it after rolling up. Best regards.

    The Helikon-Tex Defender Mk2 Tropical shirt was purchased for summer trips to the forest. It works perfectly as protection against ticks and insects, while also shielding from abrasions against bushes or shrubs. It also works well for me in the city as an open shirt with a t-shirt underneath. Highly recommended!

    Great product, this is the best shirt I have had so far. It is breathable, dries quickly, doesn't need ironing, and looks fantastic! I am 177 cm tall and weigh 78 kg. Size M fits perfectly!

    Nice shirt, made of light and breathable material, a bit delicate but pleasant to the touch. Plenty of pockets and fast 24-hour shipping, overall I recommend it.

    Excellent material, lightweight and breathable, the shirt is perfect for hot days, ideal cut as always from Helikon, so I highly recommend it, especially if the shirt is intended for the tropics.

    Very well-made shirt, this is already my second piece, and I am just as satisfied as with the first one. The shirt is very practical, breathable, has lots of pockets, and is perfect for high temperatures and high humidity. Another great product.
