This is already my second purchase of the same shirt, just in another color ;) I really like its cut and functionality. It works great at the gym, cycling, or hiking in the mountains. With a slightly athletic silhouette, it fits quite well.
Helikon-Tex Quickly Dry Functional Thermal Shirt - Shadow Grey
Thermoactive T-shirt with short sleeve made from a blend of quick-drying and breathable polyester and natural Sorona fibers. The material used ensures the T-shirt is not only durable, flexible, and soft but also efficiently wicks away moisture. The bacteriostatic properties of the yarn inhibit the growth of bacteria responsible for unpleasant odors.
quick-drying polyester, Sorona fibers
The model is made from a material that combines polyester (43%) and Sorona fibers (57%), is quick-drying and exhibits the ability to wick away moisture, allowing for a feeling of dryness and comfort during wear. The addition of DuPont Sorona material ensures the fabric from which the T-shirt is made prevents unpleasant odors, especially during hiking on hot days. Loose fit provides full freedom of movement.
UPF50 index blocks more than 97.5% of sunlight, thus providing high protection against UV radiation. The anatomical fit does not restrict freedom of movement during physical activity, and flat seams protect the body from skin abrasions.
2 flat pockets
On both sides of the T-shirt, flat pockets are sewn on, allowing for the storage of small, handy items such as keys or a card.

Good material. The stitching is average – perhaps I got a worse model, but both pockets are very noticeable and stick out – not like in the picture. Maybe if you have a bit more muscle, it fits better.
-
Great T-shirt, and most importantly, it dries quickly. Another plus is that it comes in large sizes but isn't tight like some shirts that cling to the body. 😀 The extra pockets on the sides—I don't really know what they're for? A big phone fits there just fine. 😀 The only downside is the wide collar, although some people might like that 😀 (I accepted it).

In my opinion, this shirt is extremely comfortable and dries quickly, which is important after a whole day of trekking – no one wants to wait long for a wet shirt to dry. Actually, the side pockets turned out to be rather unnecessary for me, I'm not entirely sure what I could use them for. During the winter, I wore this shirt as a base layer. I am satisfied with the quality of the stitching, I also like the available colors, and I liked the OD variant the most, because it's perfect when I want a neutral style.

Great thermal shirt from Helikon. Dries very quickly and breathes well. Tested in difficult mountain conditions. Really good quality. I am very satisfied. Highly recommended.
-
In my opinion, the best thermoactive T-shirt to wear under a uniform top. It really wicks away sweat very well. The material feels pleasant to the touch and gives a solid impression.
-
Comfortable T-shirt from Helikon, a bit more expensive than similar TopCool and TopCool Lite ones. The feel is similar – the cut is tight-fitting, but because the material is very stretchy, you don't feel any discomfort from it clinging to your body. The underarm pockets – personally, a very mediocre solution for me. If you put anything other than a payment card in there, I fear it will end up causing unpleasant chafing on the inside of your arms, especially in hot weather and with more effort. So I treat them as a useless gimmick. But overall, as a comfortable garment to wear in warmer days, I definitely recommend it!
-
The best T-shirt of this type I've ever had. It beats even foreign branded equivalents in quality and wearing comfort, while remaining cheaper. Comfortable, practical, nice cut. When I was called up for reserve training, I wore it under my uniform instead of the issued gear. It worked 100%, and no one complained that I was wearing civilian clothes because it doesn't stand out. I honestly recommend it.
-
The material has changed a bit compared to the previous lite models, but I still love it. It breathes well, hardly touches my body, is very light, and dries quickly. I recommend it to everyone.
-
Great quality and the size M fits perfectly for 180cm and 79kg. Just right for summer activities. The extra pockets are a nice addition for small items, though I personally don't use them :)
-
Good workmanship, quite a fitted cut in the torso and length. Comfortable to wear, breathes very well. I definitely recommend it alongside the Tactical option. As usual, express delivery from Militaria.
-
Very nice T-shirt with a great cut - quite long and well-fitted, rather for slimmer and taller people. The material is pleasant and dries quite quickly, personally, I find it quite warm, so it's not a typical summer T-shirt. The side pockets do not interfere with use and are quite useful.
-
Great T-shirt, I only buy slim series shirts and now I got this one. It is pleasant, well-fitted, and not restrictive. The length is, let's say, tactical, with sleeves not too long. Perfect under a chest rig in the summer.
-
What more is there to say – Helikon is Helikon! It maintains quality and sizing. The small side pockets are useful. Perfect for all types of trips – especially summer ones. Delivery, as usual, was immediate.
