Helikon Tex once again shows that it can create a truly excellent product. At my height of 183 cm, size L fits very well, although the sleeves are a bit too long. This is because size M would be better in that regard, but on the other hand it would be too tight in the shoulders, as I have broad shoulders. Fortunately, the sleeves can be neatly rolled up without any problem. I put 6 mm neoprene inserts into the elbow pockets and they fit perfectly. The shirt works great in spring, autumn, and winter, as well as in summer, although then I would probably use it only up to temperatures of around 27 degrees, preferably with a cotton T-shirt underneath. Shipping, as usual, was lightning fast!
Uniform blouse crafted from PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric (50% polyester, 48% cotton, 2% elastane), offering exceptional resistance to abrasion and tearing. This fabric is also lighter and dries more quickly compared to 100% cotton. The Raid variant features raglan sleeves, sewn directly into the collar, eliminating shoulder seams for greater comfort.
Secured with buttons concealed by a protective flap, the blouse also boasts 8 ergonomically designed pockets for optimal utility:
- two chest pockets with button closures,
- a pocket on each shoulder secured by Velcro or a button,
- two flat open compartments on the outside of the shoulder pockets,
- two internal mesh pockets, including one zippered pocket and one open-access pocket.
Each pocket includes attachment loops to secure equipment and prevent loss during use. Elbows are reinforced with an extra layer of fabric, doubling as pockets for foam protectors. Velcro fasteners allow adjustable sleeve cuffs.
Velcro hook and loop panels are stitched above the chest and on the shoulder pockets and flaps, providing space for attaching emblems such as national insignia, unit identifiers, or Morale Patches, allowing for personal customization.

Size: S
Great quality from Helikon-Tex, the material is slightly stretchy, the cut is very well done, and the fit is slightly tailored at the waist. When choosing the size, it is worth being cautious and checking the size chart carefully. I usually wear size M, but in this case size S was the right one.

A well-thought-out hoodie. Great ripstop fabric with stretch. Very well-designed pockets on the sleeves and chest. The hoodie is tapered at the waist, so for people with a bit of a belly it may initially feel a little tight around the waist, but the material is stretchy and loosens up after a few washes.
-
In terms of quality, the sweatshirt is very well made, and the material feels solid and of good quality. Unfortunately, I have a big problem with the size. I ordered size L and the sweatshirt is very wide around the belly, which makes it look a bit like a sack. The length of the sweatshirt and sleeves is appropriate, but its cut is definitely too loose.

This is already my third shirt from this series, this time in the holy pattern, and I have to say that if it weren’t for those shoulder pockets, no one would notice it’s not an official uniform. Super comfortable, high-quality craftsmanship and materials. Very elegant and fitted cut. Just like the previous one, I switched from size L to M, and at 183cm and 82kg it fits perfectly. Highly recommended.

Very nice cut and old-school vibe of the uniform sweatshirt. Additionally, it's quite reasonably priced. The perfect choice for the shooting range. I'm waiting for more camouflages. 5/5

An excellent shirt, characteristic of Helikon's high standard. If you prefer a more fitted cut, it is better to choose a smaller size. I usually buy products from this brand in size L (I'm 1.90 m tall and weigh 85 kg), but in the case of this shirt, size M turned out to be perfect.
