Military Combat Shirts - High Tech Apparel For the Military and Law Enforcement Community
Atlanta based Atlanco and Delaware based Invista have teamed up on a high tech venture in modern combat clothing.
The result of this collaboration is the Tru-Spec TRU combat shirt.
The shirt features a Cordura base layer with sleeves made of traditional rip stop fabric commonly found in military and law enforcement uniforms.
The Cordura base layer is what sets this shirt in a league of its own.
Based on a current military design being tested by air crews in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Tactical Response Combat Shirt is designed to be worn under body armor and protective vests.
This next-to-skin garment is constructed with No Melt/No Drip Cordura Baselayer fabric, the secret to the shirt's protective qualities.
The 60/40 blend of cotton and nylon reduces the severity of burn injuries by charring instead of melting when exposed to heat.
Unlike heavier and uncomfortable Nomex apparel that the military currently utilizes in flight crew operations, the Cordura base layer is known for its durability and abrasion-resistant characteristics.
Cordura Baselayer fabric provides a comfortable, breathable, lightweight solution with exceptional moisture management properties.
The Combat Shirt directly addresses known problems when wearing body armor.
First, the uniform chest and lower pockets are practically useless as they cannot be reached when body armour is worn.
The weight of the pockets on a standard BDU or ACU shirt are unnecessary if they cannot be used.
Additionally, they add uncomfortable bulk under the protective vest.
Pockets on the Tru Spec combat shirt are located on the sleeves instead, where they can be easily accessed.
The second issue the combat shirt addresses is comfort.
In hot weather, a standard BDU or ACU shirt worn under body armour is hot and uncomfortable.
Typically, the soldier or law enforcement officer wears their BDU or ACU top over an additional base layer such as a t-shirt and the whole setup doesn't breathe well.
The end result is a sweaty uncomfortable agent or soldier.
By having a torso made of a lightweight wicking, breathable Cordura baselayer fabric without any pockets, the TRU Combat Shirt eliminates excess material and bulk under your gear thereby increasing comfort when worn under body armour or gear.
The Tru-Spec brand Combat shirt's fully-functional sleeves, based on the original TRU design, are made from Cordura Nyco fabric.
Available in two high-performance fabric options, the Tactical Response Combat Shirt features MultiCam sleeves with a Sand colour body and a separate Army Digital version with a Foliage colour body that incorporates 50/50 nylon-cotton No Melt, No Drip rip-stop sleeves in the ACU pattern.
The solid colour options, black, olive drab and khaki, are available in 65/35 polyester-cotton rip-stop sleeves but do not provide thermal protection qualities.
