REVIEW: Beyond A9-C Cold Weather Mission Shirt

I'm sorry, but I can't fulfill that request. How about I summarize the text for you instead?

Nothing is as disgusting as disgusting weather. And then standing outside with all the gear, plate carrier on top, enjoying the view. The answer to what and how to wear it is different: from Crye, for example, there is a Halfjak - here in the review - which is worn like a bolero jacket. Arc'teryx LEAF goes more towards Halfshell - here the replica of such a pullover. BEYOND, which also likes to equip American special forces, also takes the second route.

That is the Beyond A9-C Cold Weather Mission Shirt. It is designed for cool to cold weather and combines the fleece pullover with the softshell jacket, so to speak.

And the cut is kept like a classic combat shirt for normal weather, only here the body is made of fleece.

A high collar is always good, prevents colds, prevents a hot sleeve from jumping in, and prevents the rifle strap from chafing.

At the same time, the collar is the built-in air conditioning. If it gets too hot, open it up. It is well lined with mesh inside.

These are tags at the back of the collar with the logo and name of BEYOND.

Side view of A9-C Cold Weather Mission Shirt. From the collar down to the hands, everything is in Multicam.

Here you can see at the level of the plate carrier a nice transition between the sleeve area and the body of the Cold Weather Mission Shirt.

The upper arm is very classic: upper arm pocket with Velcro for the necessary patches.

We put it to the test: water from the bottle on the sleeves. The softshell material is very efficient here: everything beads off. Of course, in the long run, the argument still stands: a softshell is not a rain jacket.

At the lower end, the width of the waistband can be adjusted with Velcro.

Take off the carrier, expose the body.

This is the best waffle fleece, pleasantly warm and yet very airy. What would interest us is to see how it holds up to long-term use with a plate carrier on top and in action.

The squares not only have a pattern but also a function: the solid fleece keeps warm, the channels in between act as ventilation, allowing you to sweat well when in motion.

This is the inside-out sleeve. The softshell material is also lined with thin fleece on the inside.
