REVIEW: Clawgear Jagdkommando Special Forces Urban Combat Uniform

At the top of the image are soldiers from the Jagdkommando of the Austrian Armed Forces (ÖBH). And they are dressed in an Austrian style, as you can see. Because the army's special forces rely on a local product for their duty uniform, namely the "SEK urban operational uniform" from Clawgear. We had the exclusive opportunity to try on the suit and show you the details.

Since the uniform is not clearly visible in the operation photos, here is a full view. The first thing we notice: the Jagdkommando adopts an international style. While they have their own pattern - Tarn print beige - that the elite of the armed forces should wear, from what we hear, this pattern is neither particularly popular as a pattern nor is the uniform itself. And what do Special Operation Forces worldwide wear? Multicam!

What else do Special Forces worldwide wear? Crye Precision. Clawgear looks quite similar to the market leader at first glance, but the Combat Shirt and Pant have their own solutions that are worth taking a look at.

So let's work our way from top to bottom and start with the Combat Shirt or with its official name: "operational shirt SEK urban." This is the view of the front of the military-owned shirt...

...and from the back. The front and back simply show a classic Combat Shirt. The torso area is made of flame-retardant fabric.

There are spacious upper arm pockets on the sleeves. And of course Velcro. It can be covered with a matching cover.

The collar is cut high, offering good neck protection. Under the fabric piece is a Velcro area. This is intended to attach the Clawgear Breacher Hood, a spacious hood.

The collar is zippered all the way up with YKK. The Velcro points for the Breacher Hood are also clearly visible here.

A nice detail on the Velcro of the upper arm pockets are the integrated slots for items such as pens or glowsticks.

Inside, the upper arm pockets have small rubber loops to keep things organized. That pleases the sergeant always...

Here's a close-up of the Velcro cover detail. Don't worry, this is included in the delivery. You can actually buy the Combat Shirt worn by the Jagdkommando privately, as it corresponds to the Clawgear Operator Combat Shirt. The only difference is the absence of logos on the Jagdkommando's SEK urban operational shirt.

Adjustable at the sleeve end: the hem can be adjusted in size.

This is done with Velcro. Throughout the Combat Shirt, extra fine velour and hook Velcro are used.

Take off the generous pants! No, we're not paying. The shirt is overall very long and reaches mid-thigh. Since it is flame retardant, in our opinion, it is a very good length. No, it is not intended to be worn as a mini skirt.
