Helikon SFU Next Shirt Polycotton Ripstop Olive Green

Cool
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.

Heavy shirt/Light jacket
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.

Light but Tuff!
I wanted a lightweight jacket/shirt for long range competition shooting. This is perfect for my needs. It’s super lightweight and that means it carries light in my pack. Its rip stop design is great. It’s spacious and even has pockets for elbow pads.

Got it just because it went with the pants, not really what I need but I'll hold on to it
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

Love it. No complaints.

One problem.
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.

Impressive
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!!

Well-made. Looks good. Runs Large.
Waited a long time for this to arrive and it turned out too large. I'm 5'8", 180 lbs and the Large was too big. I easily returned it and ordered a Medium with fits much better. Seems well made and looks good. The velcro closures aren't very "tactical" but they work fine. I like it enough that I'm considering buying another one in a different color.

Gute Qualität zum guten Preis
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.
