Helikon TCU Shirt

Helikon Tactical Combat Uniform (TCU)

The material this shirt is made from, NYCO rip stop (50% Nylon, 50% Cotton,), will stand up to most abuse airsofters or adventurers are likely to throw at it over time. So far mine has been skirmished loads of time and washed once and still looks the same as the day it arrived.

The addition of a pleated back panel aids unrestricted movement in this shirt which adds to the comfort and I thought the mandarin style collar might have taken some getting used to (normally I wear a standard BDU style jacket) but no worries as the shirt was comfy and soft around the neck with a soft fleece lining.

•3x Velcro panels on the front (1 above each chest pocket, 1 mid centre) for the attachment of name tapes and rank insignia
•Velcro panels on sleeve pockets (flaps and full length of pocket)
•Mandarin style collar with comfortable soft fleece inner
•Chest pockets sensibly angled for ease of use with Velcro closure
•D-Ring attachment on Lower Right Chest Pocket
•Under arm zippers for heat ventilation
•Two way zipper on jacket with Velcro flap closure
•Strengthened elbows and room for elbow pads (available separately)
•Lower forearm Pocket on each sleeve

For those that aren’t Camogrom fans this jacket is available in various styles including:
Polish Woodland nyco rip-stop
Polish Woodland nyco twill
Polish Desert nyco rip-stop
Flecktarn nyco rip-stop
Black nyco rip-stop

Another great piece of kit from Helikon. They have certainly put a lot of time effort and thought into their tactical kit range. I liked the concealed hand pockets behind the slanted chest pockets, nice touch that and really useful for temporary stowage of gloves and easy to get to under a tac-vest etc.
