MALIBU by TILAK MILITARY GEAR

07/22/2025By Hubert

The requirements for a combat shirt are always versatile. It should be breathable, moisture-wicking, durable, and have a comfortable fit. This is particularly relevant when the combat shirt is worn under a protective vest. Furthermore, it should provide some protection, especially at areas like elbows, neck, and shoulders. The short-sleeved shirt Malibu from the manufacturer TILAK MILITARY GEAR from Šumperk in the Czech Republic is a tactically designed garment that has been developed for use under high stress and for optimal performance in warm environments.

The upper body and the area under the arms are made of Polartec Power Dry material, a two-component knit fabric that provides moisture and breathability, ensuring comfort. It wicks sweat away, dries quickly, keeps cool and dry, and is soft against the skin—perfect for active use and demanding environments. The Polartec Power Dry material is made of 100% polyester (PES).

The softshell reinforcement on the sleeves, shoulders, and neck offers protection when carrying heavy equipment. It increases durability in heavily used areas. The material used consists of 89% polyamide (PAD) and 11% elastane.

The high quality and standards are evident here. The workmanship is top-notch.

The exceptionally pleasant wearing comfort of the short-sleeved shirt Malibu is supported by flat seams in all areas of the shirt. There is no rubbing or chafing when wearing plate carriers or backpacks.

An essential aspect here is the high collar.

It provides an effective protective function for the neck area against chafing and irritation from equipment.

The V-neck of the garment makes it easier to put on, improves freedom of movement and air circulation, making it particularly suitable for demanding activities.

The longer cut of the shirt ensures that the garment stays securely tucked into the pants even during intense movements in action.

The short-sleeved shirt Malibu is designed for tactical efficiency and is equipped with easily accessible arm pockets with protective flaps. Classic Velcro fasteners are used for identification of unit, name, or to display a flag.

 Each of the arm pockets has an integrated compartment and a loop for attaching small utensils.

CONCLUSION

The product line TILAK markets MILITARY GEAR is known for minimalist branding and the use of high-quality materials. It is manufactured at home in the Czech Republic. The short-sleeved shirt Malibu is, by the way, not only designed for tactical use but can also be worn well in leisure.

Under extreme conditions, the Malibu from TILAK MILITARY GEAR proved to be very reliable. The tactical shirt was developed to withstand the highest stresses. Thus, it can be worn under ballistic vests, with a heavy backpack, and during demanding transitions. The short-sleeved shirt is excellently crafted. A clear and strong recommendation for the Malibu for extreme activities and for days with high temperatures can be made.
