Helikon-Tex Defender Mk2, Gentleman Shirt Urban Line & Tropical Weather Shirt, Outback Line Outdoor and Hiking Tactical Shirt

This is one great wearing shirt. A Little pricey but I’m all against China made products. This is made in Poland! I highly advise buying this shirt.

I am 6’3”/210, with a consistent 36” sleeve in dress shirts. This shirt is well made, well cut, comfortable, and the synthetic feels like and has the fabric weight of silk. While I have yet to put thru it’s paces of hard use international and austere travel, I am pleased so far. A good cut to wear untucked, especially if you are carrying something at your waistline you prefer to conceal.

If you looking for a lightweight summer shirt for daily use, Helikon is a very good choice.

I literally swim in these at a medium. I bought two different one which I shouldn't have but have always been a medium so I typically just buy clothes at what I wear. The arm area has A LOT of room I could fit my wife's arms through it and the sleeves are a little long. Luckily I am moving to Key West so all the extra room should help keep me cooler and I 100% know I don't have to worry about flashing my conceal carry with this one. The design, material, and feel is done amazingly but I'll order more a size smaller and see how it goes.

Love this shirt. Highly recommend

Used for hiking and bushcrafting. Great features, high quality materials. The grey is a little more earthy than the picture, rather than “urban” monochromatic. I’m a pretty big shouldered, barrel chested guy at 5’11”, 215 48R and the shirt is pretty big. I like my outdoor shirts breathable but fitted enough that I don’t have loose material flapping everywhere. If you have an athletic V build and like to keep the shirt untucked, you may need to get it tailored or tuck in so that you’re not tripping over spare cloth.

I followed the size chart and went a 2x small.I’m 5’6, 135-140lbs, with a slim, athletic build. It fits fine but it’s what I would call a “relaxed fit” so because I’m a pretty small guy, it looks a little big on me but it actually fits fine. I wouldn’t consider myself to have long arms for my size but the sleeves just barely fit me, borderline too small. The length is just a bit too long for me but it’s not excessively long. If these were a slim fit, they’d be a perfect shirt. Shirt is very comfortable though, super breathable, lightweight.

The sleeves are just a touch too long for me, but I frequently have that problem. It has held up well. It’s comfortable. It’s still relatively cool in 100 degree F heat. I’m happy with it. I love the pockets. They securely hold a phone. I like the breathable pits.

Surprising how thin and light it is, very cool on its own but quite warm with a sweater, no restriction to arm movement, well worth the money.

The Defender range USP is definitely the pockets. Not just a lot but large enough to swallow a phone. And secure document pockets too. Maybe I'm lucky that size L fits well but it's supremely comfortable. Very light which is what I wanted for hot sun wear. Easy roll up sleeves when the sun goes down.I really can't fault this.

Ich habe das "echte" Defenderhemd von Helikon und bin damit superzufrieden, weil es neben guter Passform auch superstbil ist durch den Ripstop-Stoof. Irgendwie hatte ich gedacht, dass das auch bei diesem Hemd hier der Fall sein würde, aber außer der Form (beide Hemden haben die gleiche Größe, aber dieses hier ist trotzdem etwas weiter), hat es einen anderen und viel weicheren Stoff. Sehr angenehm, aber irgendwie auch völlig überflüssig, den jetzt sieht das hemd zwar irgendwie ziviler aus, hält aber auch weniger aus. Das ist nicht so geil, aber das hemd an sich ist schon ganz okay. Man muss halt nur lesen können...

Warum Kleidung so groß machen?Meine Schultern sind breit, ich bin 1,69 m groß und Größe XS ist immer noch zu groß. Ich schwebe im Hemd.Es ist eine Schande, weil die Verarbeitungsqualität sehr gut ist.Das Design ist auch sehr schön.Diese Marke kann ich aber nicht mehr bestellen.
