Thermal Comfort and Breathability:
Wearing a heavy tactical vest for hours requires clothing that can effectively manage body heat. The torso of this Combat Shirt is made of a lightweight and stretchy cotton that perfectly conforms to the figure, ensuring rapid sweat evaporation and preventing the formation of annoying creases under ballistic equipment.
Extreme Integrated Protection:
Unlike classic combat shirts, this Defcon 5 model boasts an integrated passive protection system. Comfortable shock-absorbing pads have been applied to the areas most exposed to impact and abrasion (shoulders, elbows, and forearms). To ensure maximum longevity in the field, these protections are externally covered by a tough layer of Cordura, a material famous for its incredible resistance to tears and abrasions against rough surfaces such as rocks, walls, or brambles.
Shoulder Pockets and Tactical Details:
There are two large tactical pockets on the arms, accessible via robust YKK zippers, perfect for storing documents, maps, or small vital accessories. The outer surface of the pockets is entirely covered with a soft Velcro panel: this not only allows the application of team or identification patches, but also makes the entire shoulder area more flexible and comfortable during movements. The cuffs are finally adjustable via a practical Velcro closure.
Use the protections to unload weight: The padding on the shoulders is not just an aesthetic whim! In addition to protecting you from bumps against the jambs in an urban environment, they act as an exceptional "cushion" to relieve the pressure of the shoulder straps of your Plate Carrier or your tactical backpack during long patrols.
The perfect setup for shoulder pockets: Having secure vertical YKK zippers, use the pockets on the arms to stow quick first aid material (such as plasters or flat bandages), a cloth to clean the lenses of glasses or the map of the field. The large outer soft velcro layer will keep the pocket always shaped and comfortable.
Always wash your shoulders (inside out!): This shirt combines very different materials (elastic cotton, RipStop and rigid Cordura). In order not to ruin the vital elasticity of the bust and to preserve the texture of the Cordura, always wash the garment inside out, strictly cold (max 30°C). Avoid fabric softener and tumble dryer: dry the shirt in the open air to keep it perfect for years.
