UF PRO is increasingly focusing on the military. The new Striker X Combat Shirt completes the military combat uniform and pairs with the Striker X Combat Pant – here in the SPARTANAT Review.
UF PRO announced today that the well-known Striker X model range of tactical clothing has been expanded to include its own Combat Shirt. The Striker X Combat Shirt, specially designed for the toughest requirements of soldiers, is expected to be available from April 21 onwards.
“Our Striker X Combat Shirt is innovative on multiple levels,” explains Armin Wagner from UF PRO. The garment will initially use two new fabrics. “The upper body and sleeves are made of the new NyCo Extreme fabric in MultiCam, while the lower body is made of Lizard/Skin, an innovative, extremely stretchable Lyocell-Polyamide fabric coated with ceramic dots.”
“Together, this combination creates a No-Melt/No-Drip garment that is extremely comfortable but at the same time incredibly robust, able to withstand the toughest missions that soldiers repeatedly engage in,” adds Wagner.
Other impressive features of the Striker X Combat Shirt include:
According to Wagner, the Striker X Combat Shirt has been improved compared to the design of the Striker XT Gen.2 by adding breathable padding in the hip area of the shirt. “The result is that the hip area does not suffer unnecessary skin irritation when wearing a heavily loaded belt all day long,” he explains.
Another improvement is the three-stage collar closure of the Striker X Combat Shirt. This, according to Armin Wagner, allows the wearer to choose how much of their neck they want to expose to the open air.
“Some want the collar fully open for maximum ventilation, while others prefer it fully closed for combat readiness, and still others want it to enhance their appearance at times,” describes the UF PRO chief designer.
Improved ventilation is also possible by opening the ventilation zippers in the upper arm area — another optimization of the Combat Shirt. “These openings are strategically positioned to ensure a cool airflow that helps maintain the wearer's core temperature at an optimal level, allowing them to focus on their job rather than losing concentration due to excessive heat.”
Armin Wagner said that the overall protection of the wearer has also been improved. The Striker X Combat Shirt has anatomically shaped compartments for UF PRO Flex Elbow Pads at the elbows.
UF PRO plans to release the Striker X Combat Shirt in four camouflage patterns/colors: MultiCam, Brown grey, Flecktarn, and Steel Grey.
The price of the Striker X Combat Shirt is expected to be €129 in retail stores. HERE you can sign up for news about the Striker X Combat Shirt and other UF PRO updates.
