Helikon Patrol Line YKK® 拉鍊 TopCool® 速乾科技

Helikon MCDU Combat Shirt — Ripstop Sleeves × TopCool Quick-Dry Body|Patch-Ready|Plate Carrier Friendly

The MCDU (Modern Combat Dress Uniform) combat shirt uses a hybrid build of abrasion-resistant ripstop sleeves/shoulders × TopCool® quick-dry body, aimed at high-mobility tasks, patrol duties, and mountain marches. Worn for long hours under a plate carrier / chest rig, it manages heat and moisture efficiently. It also features dual shoulder YKK® zip pockets, dual-layer patch-ready loop fields, a half-zip high collar, adjustable cuffs, and elbow pad pockets—balancing access, identification, and mobility.

  • TopCool® Quick-Dry Core Panel
    Breathable, moisture-wicking, and fast-drying against the skin to move sweat away, reduce hot spots and friction, and stay comfortable even in humid conditions.

  • Ripstop Durability|Extended Shoulder/Neck Coverage
    Sleeves, shoulders, and stand collar use ripstop (tear-resistant weave) for snag and abrasion resistance with a structured hand—better against ropes, slings, and brush.

  • Carrier-Compatible Silhouette
    Designed to be worn under a plate carrier / chest rig: the half-zip mock neck reduces neck rub, the quick-dry body mitigates heat build-up, and the ripstop shoulders stabilize under straps.

  • Dual Shoulder Utility Pockets × Dual-Layer Loop Fields (Patch-Ready)
    Both shoulders feature YKK® zip pockets for maps, GPS, or small tools; outside, dual-layer hook-and-loop loop panels allow flag, unit patch, and name tape at once.

  • Mobility Cut • Thermal Control Details
    The half-zip high collar vents heat yet protects the neck; hook-and-loop adjustable cuffs fine-tune glove clearance and airflow, keeping sleeves put while you shoulder a rifle.

  • Reinforced Elbows • Pad Pockets
    Elbows are reinforced for durability and include internal pad pockets (pads not included) for confidence during kneeling/prone, climbing, and impacts.

  • Climate-Adapted • Long-Wear Comfort
    Recommended ranges: Temperate 10–18°C, Hot 19–40°C; effective breathability and sweat management in hot & humid environments.

FAQ

  1. What advantages do the fabrics offer?
    Whether in PolyCotton stretch ripstop or NyCo ripstop, the sleeve/shoulder fabric provides tear resistance, abrasion resistance, and shape support. Combined with the TopCool® quick-dry body, the shirt balances breathability, fast drying, stable carrier fit, and high mobility for extended wear under load-bearing gear.

  2. Will it run hot under a plate carrier or chest rig?
    The core is TopCool® against the skin—purpose-built for carrier wear—so it wicks quickly, cools, and reduces hot spots. The half-zip allows rapid heat dump when needed.

  3. How should I pick my size—close fit or relaxed?
    The cut is regular fit. For a base-layer/close fit, select by chest on the chart. If you often layer armor or prefer extra mobility, consider going up one size.

  4. Are elbow pads included? What should I use?
    Built-in pad pockets only (pads not included). We suggest low-profile elbow pads for mobility; for heavier protection, use external guards.

  5. Care tips to extend service life?
    Turn inside out; ≤30°C gentle cycle. Close hook-and-loop before washing to prevent snags. Do not bleach / tumble hot / dry clean; air-dry. If needed, low-heat pressing cloth only—avoid loop fields and zippers.

How to Measure

  2. Waist: Measure naturally, not too tight or loose.
  3. Hips: Measure the widest part, snug but not compressing.
  4. Height: Stand straight against a wall to measure.

Tip: To convert to inches, cm ÷ 2.54 = inches.
