Built for Demanding Operations
A combat shirt is one of the most important layers worn during tactical operations. It must protect against abrasion while maintaining sufficient freedom of movement and comfort under load-bearing equipment.
The Direct Action Vanguard Combat Shirt® combines carefully selected technical fabrics for different areas of the garment. The torso is constructed from Polartec® PowerDry FR, which is soft, stretchable and designed to transfer moisture away from the body. The sleeves use durable yet breathable NYCO fabric, providing additional resistance in areas exposed to greater mechanical wear.
The elbows are reinforced with Cordura® 500D, increasing durability in high-wear areas while simultaneously creating pockets for optional protective pad inserts. Two zippered bicep pockets provide storage for small essentials, while loop panels on the shoulders allow identification patches, flags or other personalization.
