TRU-SPEC constructs its Nylon / Cotton Ripstop Combat Shirt from lightweight, breathable fabric for superior comfort. The torso of the shirt consists of No Melt, No Drip Cordura Baselayer fabric made from a cotton and nylon blend, which can protect against flash fires and diminish burn injury severity. It also wicks away moisture, dries quickly and breathes to keep you dry and comfortable. The sleeves and upper back panels are made from a lightweight, abrasion-resistant fabric to provide extra protection and mobility. The sleeves have padded, anti-abrasion elbow patches for added comfort, while no-seam shoulders mitigate rubbing and chafing. Zippered storage pockets on the upper arm provide easy storage and access to gear. There are also loops on the sleeve pockets to attach name, rank and flag patches.

I haven't worn it yet, waiting for our next game on New Years Day. I bought this to use under my BDU shirt (woodland) as another layer to keep warm during fall/winter months here in the Pac NW USA.
Seems to be well made, my other team mates liked it.
Shipping was fast, took about a week to arrive. I will definitely be purchasing more with Tactical Gear
Thank you.

I have tried a wide variety of combat shirts and this is just terrible. The material utilized in the sleeves feels cheap, tacky, and baggy. I sent this shirt back immediately after I tried it on. Uncomfortable and too expensive for this quality of shirt.

If you want the best combat shirt I have come across get a Massif. They are comfortable, breath well, and fire resistant. They are expensive on their website but you can buy one on eBay for $20- $50 (usually $180 MSRP).

The shirt is fantastic I love it. Only draw back is the arms are WAY to big. It almost feels like the sleeves belong on a heavyset person with huge, round arms. The "elbow" pads are down on my forearm
I normally ware a 2xl shirt so I figured a 2x long would allow me to tuck the shirt and not worry about it coming untucked while moving. Again I love the shirt but the sleeves could be more snug

My Background: I am a tactics and marksmanship instructor in the civilian world. I get to run my gear stupidly hard and if it's going to fail it will. Pro's: +Cheap +Made well +Nothing has broken yet Con's: -Poor color choice for shirt top. Works good for desert training areas, sucks in the mountains or anything green. -T-shirt collar is greatest weakness. Mandarin collar would have resulted in this garment being full of win - instead it gets full of fail designation. --The t-shirt collar doesn't protect well enough against the sun on the back of your neck or your body armor chafing, especially when sitting. --The sleeves feel floppy and poorly attached to the garment because there isn't any support for their position on your body other than the stretchy t-shirt material.

I play paintball and prefer the Tru-Spec shirts with the standup stiff collars, for added neck protection while playing, which this shirt does not have. However, if you don't want that or if you have a short neck then this shirt is excellent as the soft collar will be much more comfortable for you. I like the shirt in every other way.

Fits just right around the chest and abdomen and I like the length of the shirt and sleeves. I give the comfort level 3 out of 5 stars. My biggest complaint is that the sleeves around the bicep are too puffy. I mean I would have to guns like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime to fill out those sleeves.

I* just bought this shirt and it looks good. I am unable to wear it as the sleeves cut me in my armpits. I picked the size based upon my shirt size and it fits great everywhere except in my armpits. the shirt is so tight that is cuts me. I will be returning it for a large size.

Very Satisfied with the Shirt especially how comfortable it is, but there is one drawback that comes to mind. Although the shirt is very comfortable and efficient, it looks quite a bit different than what I had Imagined. I have quite broad shoulders and usually wear XL or 2XL for this very reason, depending on the material. If you have the same problem, I suggest you go a size smaller than the norm, the sleeves are somewhat adjustable but are still quite "baggy" other than that I am happy with the shirt and proud to wear it.

I ordered my warm weather top and was beyond happy when I got it and it was as advertised and completely up to standard. Definitely issue quality and came with the velcroe already sewn on.

Having used my traditional frog gear for years I was wondering if this would be close or not. I love it. Comfortable, durable and I will be sure to order more though this company
