The shirt is of very good quality; this is another model from this series that I have bought, and I can recommend it with full confidence. The material feels pleasant to the touch, wicks moisture well, and dries quickly. The sizing runs true — at 183 cm tall and 85 kg, size L fits perfectly.

Review summary
Customers mostly praise this shirt for its comfort, solid build quality, and effective moisture management. Reviewers highlight quick drying, good breathability, durability after washing, and versatile use for everyday wear, training, hiking, and work. Many also appreciate the practical extras such as sleeve pockets, velcro panels, and the glasses loop. The fit is usually comfortable and slightly loose rather than tight, and sizing is generally accurate, although some users suggest trying it on first or choosing a smaller size. The main drawbacks are the relatively thick fabric, which can feel too warm in extreme heat, the material’s tendency to snag on velcro, and occasional complaints about breathability, sizing consistency, or color differences.

Size: L
The T-shirt is great. I wear it to work and for walks or bike rides. It is a bit thicker than other T-shirts made specifically for running. So in very hot weather it may be too warm. It feels a bit rough to the touch, but for me that is actually good, at least it does not slide over the body so much. The navy blue color looks almost black, it does not really look blue at all. I took size L, I am 182 cm tall, and it fits me perfectly. It is loose, but that is because I am skinny.

Size: L
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: 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.

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 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.

I ordered the largest size. This time there is nothing to complain about. I saw the size chart and knew it might be too small in some places. But my main concern was to use it for camping. The seams are intact, the material is slightly stretchy :)
-
This T-shirt is really a great purchase. The fabric is breathable, so I don't overheat in it at all. On hot days, it gives a feeling of coolness, which pleasantly surprised me. This is definitely the best shirt of its kind I've ever had. I recommend it to everyone!
-
The t-shirt is so good that I bought a few more. Perfect for warm days, and the price won't drain your wallet. For Helikon, I order size L at a height of 187 cm - it fits perfectly.
-
Great T-shirts. Light and breathable. I usually wear size L, but for these T-shirts I have size M, so it's worth keeping this in mind and trying them on before buying. I recommend them.
-
Very good quality workmanship. A big plus for the pockets on the shoulders and the velcro panels, which allow for easy customization with patches. The seams are flat and do not chafe, which is crucial with thermal shirts. For this price, it's an unbeatable choice. The store, as always, has lived up to expectations!
-
The tactical shirt is very comfortable, made of high-quality, breathable material. It has convenient small pockets on the shoulders and small velcro panels for patches and emblems. I recommend it to everyone, as I see no flaws in this shirt.
-
Very comfortable tactical sleeveless shirt. Lightweight, breathable, and fits well. Does not restrict movement, ideal for training and playing. I recommend it. Fast shipping from the store and efficient delivery.

The T-shirt is just awesome. Helikon, as always, is top-notch. Comfortable, lightweight, breathable, dries quickly. Holds color after washing and does not fade in the sun. I definitely recommend it—it’s worth its price.
