I recommend it. The material is good quality, soft, wicks moisture, and dries quickly. The sizing is standard; at 176 cm, size L fits great. It works perfectly for longer hikes and intense activities on warm days.

Size: L
I think the hook-and-loop fasteners on the sleeves are neither particularly comfortable nor practical — personally, I would prefer them not to be there. The shirt itself also feels a bit too heavy, especially for its design. I decided to buy it only because I couldn’t find a better model on this site that matched my expectations.
-
Size: L
The material is of very good quality, pleasantly soft on the inside, and works great during hiking. It dries quickly, wicks moisture effectively, and size L fit well for a height of 178 cm and did not change after washing.
-
Size: XXL
I am very satisfied. The T-shirt performed excellently in the mountains. Even during a steep climb, there was only a small sweat spot under the backpack. I am impressed.
-
Size: L
The shirt is very light, breathable, and works well for trekking, cycling, or working on warmer days. The material dries quickly and wicks moisture away quite well, while the looser fit provides plenty of freedom of movement. The pockets and hook-and-loop patches on the sleeves are also a plus — seemingly a small detail, but very useful in the field. A very nice shirt for summer, although during intense exertion it may start to retain the typical synthetic odor a bit more quickly.

Size: M
It is sturdy and very comfortable. I rode in it for several days in a bike park with body armor, and it fit so well that it felt as if I wasn’t wearing it at all. I definitely recommend it and will buy another one myself.

I bought it misled by the reviews and the marketing gimmick of calling this shirt "thermal active". First impression: plastic. I tested it in practice, and in a hot climate it does not wick moisture and is practically not breathable. As if a person had wrapped themselves in foil. It is nowhere near thermal active clothing. It is no different from a "Chinese cheapie" for a fraction of this price. It's a pity that Helikon released something like this.
-
For a summer like the one we have this year, this kind of T-shirt, which dries quickly and is not as hot as cotton, is just perfect, and I think it will become the standard.
-
The T-shirt dries quickly, efficiently wicks away moisture, and effectively retains warmth. Even though it is made of synthetic material, I was surprised by how comfortable it is to wear. The velcro also does its job and is solidly made.
-
These T-shirts probably don't need much recommending. Very breathable, quickly wicks moisture to the outside, which speeds up drying and gives a feeling of dryness on the back. Any odor that may appear is the result of using synthetic fibers, but the choice is simple: either stay dry or smell nice :)
-
Very good thermal shirt that works great both during training and outdoor activities. The TopCool material effectively wicks away moisture, ensuring high wearing comfort even on warmer days. The shirt is lightweight, dries quickly, and does not restrict movement. The cut is comfortable and the craftsmanship is of a high standard – the seams are solid and the material retains its properties and color even after many washes. The olive color looks aesthetic and pairs well with outdoor and military clothing.
-
I recommend the purchase, because it fits nicely and really is what a T-shirt should be 😄 for work and outdoors 😄. You could add bigger velcro patches to allow for larger tags, just like in other products from this company. Comfort ★★★★★ Drying speed ★★★★★ Thermal properties ★★★★ Labeling options ★★★ Final rating ★★★★★ of course, making some compromises 😄
-
The T-shirt fits great, size L is loose, it's also really cool that you can put your own patch on the sleeve. Even as a regular T-shirt, it's awesome. 5 stars.
-
I bought a T-shirt in size L. Unfortunately, despite the description that the T-shirt should be loose, I feel like it's a bit too big—I'd describe it as size L+. However, apart from the first impression, you can actually start to like this loose fit. Unfortunately, only 4 stars because I found out from the label that the T-shirt is made in China, and I was hoping that since it's a Polish company, the production would be here as well.

I have already had four such products, so I know what I am getting into. Size M fits me perfectly. It works great in the summer for work or training (although a lighter version might be better for heat waves). The additional layers of material are an advantage because they provide better ventilation and quick drying thanks to the use of mesh.
