Helikon-TexHelikon SFU Next Shirt Polycotton Ripstop Olive Green

Just arrived so I have not pushed it yet but the quality seems as good as my other Helikon clothes so I am expecting 5 star performance. With a backpack on the two chest pockets are a no go but I expected that. The arm and lower pockets are usable though. It is a heavy shirt and will work well as a light jacket if needed. The velcro cuffs work great. The buttons are a good size and so are easy to use. That helps if you are older with arthritis like I am. 😒The fit: I am 5'8" 138 lbs with a 37" chest and the medium I ordered is good. A little roomy but didn't want anything constricting either. The Helikon labeling on the tag says EU:M US S. Keep that in mind when you order your size from the drop down. You are ordering the European size. My tape measure was about 24" pit to pit with the jacket flat on the ground if that helps.All in all I think it is a good shirt at a fair price. It should serve me well.

Love it. No complaints.

OD is pretty cool, comfy and durable. Sleeves are a bit short if your tall but it don’t matter if it’s 80 degrees out and your running in full kit.

So I bought the pants, and impulse bought the blouse. Shadow grey, don't know why it says olive green. The color matches the pants, same fabric line, check.Bought it with the intention of gardening... Looks a little too military for the suburbs. I bought blank grey patches for the Velcro, but it still screams paintball ninja. I might strip the Velcro off of it, I might cut the shoulder pockets off completely. I feel like the shoulder pockets are like weirdly angled or really far onto the bicep. Compared it against a favorite old worn ROTC ACU blouse from years ago and the pocket placement and angle is virtually the same. I dunno smh. When I first threw it on that Velcro was stiff and square. Hosed myself down, jumped in the pool, pulled myself through some dirt, still pretty crunchy and stiff. Will take a few washings, take that for what it's worth. These were of course made for the super macho gunfighter with big arms and shoulder and chest so maybe I just bought a size too big. Last note on the shoulder pockets, they do sit fine when in the "carbine gunfighter" pose.I got this for pruning hedges and stuff, glad it's a little big for throwing on top of whatever scout, rotary, charity shirt i am doing a service project for or whatever... Again the thing screams military so I haven't really worn this out.Good collar, good buttons, good stitching, appreciate the quality

These coats (shirt) are cut & styled like the new active duty military is using now. They have all the right pockets, in all the right places. Including elbow pockets for the pad inserts, if you want them. The material is thick and doubled where it is needed. Sizes are big and roomy, so if you are weight lifter, or just a larger person, you will still have plenty room to move. All I have ever found on the civilian market are the straight "crappy" military coats we wore in the 80's and early 90's. The only improvements I could suggest is greater, or longer strip of velcro at the cuff for a tighter fit. And also greater access in the US, so that exchanges (sizes) could be easier & less expensive. Great Product!

Great material, good fit, but the buttons need heavier thread. I received these yesterday and the bottom button is barely hanging on already. Kind of disappointed in that because I avoided Rothco for that reason.

I took a chance and thought I would try this brand out. Just received and my initial impressions are, this is really nice stuff. It's really well sewn and the lay out is well thought out. It's nice and lightweight, but tough as nails. I would make additional purchases of Helikon-Tex. Good job guys!!

Normally I wear size xl but ordered in xxl. Paid for expidited shipping but shirt arrived late and outside of sellers stated expidited shipping time frame. Shirt was huge so I reordered a size large which is perfect. Because original shirt arrived late I requested a credit for the difference between the regular shipping rate and expidited fee but seller refused to credit the difference.Seller did finally credit the cost of the shirt but not the tax, handling or the expidited shipping charge. If you order this shirt be aware that it takes next to forever to get it and if you return it ...best of luck.

Be careful what you order, I ordered xxl and got European xxl, so US xl really…Sold it to a skinny dude

belle qualité mais bien trop grand jai acheter un large comme touts mon linge et on dirais un XXL

Bestellung lief schnell und reibungslos. Die Jacke ist etwas grösser geschnitten als gedacht (XXL bestellt / XL hätte auch gepasst). Qualität ist völlig in Ordnung. Würde ich wieder kaufen.

Top,gute Qualität

Rispetta le aspettative
