FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

How to choose the right size of a Helikon shirt?

When you visit the page of your selected Helikon shirt model, you will find a Size Chart prepared by the manufacturer on the right side, just next to the size selection section. To properly choose the shirt size based on the data from the chart, you need to take the appropriate body measurements. The best way to do this is with a precise tailor's measuring tape. What exactly should you measure?

Chest circumference – measure at the widest point under your arms, preferably while inhaling, when the circumference is largest. Divide the obtained value by two and match it to the value in the "1/2 Chest" column, which indicates the width of the shirt.

Hip circumference – also at the widest point. Match the obtained value to the value in the "Bottom" column, which indicates the width of the bottom of the shirt.

Height – based on this value, you can assess whether the shirt length given in the "Front" column will be appropriate for your height.

Sleeve length – from the shoulder to the base of the thumb, just above the wrist. Match the obtained value to the value in the "Sleeve" column, which indicates the length of the shirt sleeves.

Is every Helikon shirt a tactical shirt?

Every Helikon shirt available in our offer fits the definition of a tactical shirt. Although individual models differ in the number and placement of pockets as well as materials used, all Helikon shirts meet the functional requirements of a good tactical shirt – which means, above all: discreet pockets allowing you to carry essential tools or accessories without drawing attention, high durability and resistance to mechanical damage, and optimal breathability ensuring proper ventilation.

Will I only find men's Helikon shirts in the offer?

Of course not – although men's shirts are also eagerly chosen by our female clientele. Helikon has also included a dedicated series of women's shirts in its collection – Helikon Marigold®, designed specifically for women and tailored to the female body shape. It's worth noting that in terms of functionality, they do not differ from the standard represented by other Helikon tactical shirts. In the offer of this manufacturer, you will also find other clothing intended for female users – check, for example, Helikon Gunfighter jackets.
