Combat shirt

A uniform sweatshirt is a must-have piece of clothing for any airsoft enthusiast. So it is worth knowing what to look for when choosing it.

Uniform shirt

One essential part of an airsoft player's wardrobe is the uniform shirt. Nowadays, shirts are usually made from a blend of cotton and synthetic materials, such as polyester. The rip-stop material makes them extremely lightweight, yet very durable. Depending on the cut, they can be either zipped or buttoned. It is a good choice for players who do not use full-body armor. The shirt will work great for chestriggers or stripers but is also the choice of snipers or sharpshooters wearing ghillie suit camouflage. Models with plenty of pockets are worthy of note - it is convenient if the shirt has two large chest pockets, capable of holding a wallet, phone, or notepad, along with shoulder pockets for smaller items. Thanks to many Velcro fasteners, a player can attach moral patches, signs with the team name or surname. The undoubted advantage of the shirt is the fact that it can also be used as an element of clothing outside the game, which will be appreciated by outdoor enthusiasts, mountain hikers, but also people who prefer the everyday military style.

Combat shirt

Combat shirts have been implemented into the army and special units equipment only in the 21st century. Its cut differs significantly from the one used in classic military shirts. The material on the sleeves, shoulders, and collar is made in rip-stop technology, which ensures its very high durability. There is also space for foam protectors on the sleeves, as well as Velcro for signs and morale patches. On the other hand, the torso fabric is very light and stretchy to fit the body, and its structure provides very good ventilation. For best thermal properties it is recommended to wear it directly on the body, although during colder days it can be worn over thermal underwear or a classic cotton t-shirt. Combat shirts have been designed for soldiers using full equipment systems and ballistic protection such as CIRAS or Plate Carrier.
