For a spacious, comfortable warm-weather uniform shirt, Propper presents the Lightweight Short Sleeve Tactical Shirt. A hidden zippered front gives the shirt a button-up appearance, as does the hidden button at the collar, so switching between professional and casual is quick and easy. There is plenty of storage space between the two zippered chest pockets and the extra hook and loop flap pockets. The extended tail makes this an ideal work shirt, and the breathable poly/cotton ripstop construction promotes ventilation without restricting movement or functionality. The lightweight material is perfect for warm-weather conditions and long days on the job. Consistently reliable, it maintains its shape and color after multiple washings.

As usual, works as advertised.
Zero issues with this shirt. Fabric weight is good, even in recent warmer temps, over a t-short while carrying gear.

Some may complain about the buttons from the second one down not buttoning, but that's personal preference. The zipper is obviously faster, and appearance remains as a button-up, professional, and functional.

ONE thing I wish tactical shirts had is Velcro for arm and chest patches. Uniform shirts do, but the tactical a do not. Logical, but for me, a bit unfortunate.

Overall this shirt is a great value!

After extensive testing we love these shirts. We're former military officers who think these highly functional shirts are outstanding. They retain military standards but have custom features you won't find in standard issue military shirts. They are a comfortable athletic fit, look sharp and are built for superior endurance and stain resistance. Only complaint: they're a bit expensive. Here are the features we like best: [1] The hidden zipper mock button-up front allows for incredibly quick changes, easy ventilation during intense activity and fast access to vests and weapons. [2] The chest pockets have velcro closures to keep the flaps flush, contents secure AND both have pen slots that allow you to carry pens, pencils, sunglasses and penlights at the ready. [3] The huge, hidden, vertical-zippered pockets behind the chest pockets that are large enough to hold a folded map, notebook, head set, cell phone, snack bar, paperback book, etc. [4] The hidden, button-downed collar stays that keep the collar looking sharp without effort. [5] The fabric these shirts are made of is top grade. The shirts stay crisp, keep their shape and look sharp without being ironed, if hung immediately after they come out of the dryer. They are also fade resistant, shed water, lint, and stains and yet are comfortable as a standard button-down cotton shirt while providing a greater range of motion.

As a new shirt it performance is as good as the 5.11 with the repellent and drying time. But as you wash it the repellent loses its strengh. Dont get me wrong good shirt nice fit good pockets in the right places where middle zipperup is amazing for fast easy to put on or take off . document chest pockets very usefull for literally anything that fits for fast and easy access. All i have to say is the repellent dont last as long as i thought. But overal great product will buy more. Also great for any season hot or cold and drys fast when wet dan your tippical shirts. To me worth the money and makes you look processional at all times no mater the situation.

Understand off bat that 2 is one and 1 is none with this product, you will regret a single unit purchase the moment u open the package. These shirts are superior in quality, design, and have a comfortable yet conservative style option with applications ranging from short sleeve beach wear to long sleeve business attire. These shirts lay across the body perfectly and enhance the masculine appearance of the shoulders, arms, chest and stomach. Perfect option for Big &Tall shoppers as tall size options are available giving you the perfect added length all around. You are going to look great in this product.

Really like the coyote color and pockets. Decent quality since it's ripstop synthetic mix material. Length of the mock button zipper needs to be shorter to at least the 3rd button above the bottom (or anywhere above the waist) since, when tucked inside the pants, it feels awkward & causes some discomfort along with having a funny shape when the tuck loosens/ stretches to constant movement. Hopefully Propper fixes this issue for all their tactical shirts having a mock button zipper closure. Snap buttons can also be a good improvement. Also, short sleeves on this shirt need to be slimmer.

0~17 as Air Force brat and 18~21 as Navy Vietnam followed by 50 years as a career pilot and inventor - this IS a perfect style/function shirt match for me. I bought 3 more colors. I love EVERYTHING about this shirt. Left doc-pocket cell phone and reading glasses, right doc-pocket cigs and lighter, Left pocket card wallet, the right pocket garage door opener and Bluetooth camera shutter button. And, you can barely see that anything is in the pockets - very professional. I'm thrilled!

This is probably the most functional tactical shirt I have ever purchased. Love the concept of the zippered front with false buttons. The pockets are large with velcro closures and false buttons to maintain consistency of style. The zippered concealment pockets are great for storing glasses or wallets. It is a great concealment garment. Very well made and I will certainly recommend this shirt to others.

I gave this shirt a try b/c it was such a deal, having no idea what I'd get. Turns out its quite a good shirt, a little stiff material, but quality and not uncomfortable, very true to the description, the zipper under buttons will be useful, lots of not so obvious pockets.

I got the large instead of the XL as everyone said it ran large through the chest and shoulders. It does; I've 47in chest, 34in waist and the large fits me okay. Its not snug on the shoulders but just right (like it was taylored for me), if I was a bit bigger, it would be a problem. Even if you have a big belly it might not be big enough if you're 45+" in chest. Its almost like an athletic cut. The sleevs are just above my elbows but I'm only 5'8".

I have owned this shirt in the past, and it is my preference for warm weather uniform shirt. The shirt is roomy, and has plenty of storage pockets. I really like the hidden zippered front. The shirt always looks great after repeated washings, with little to none color fade. Most of all the shirt will keep you cool in the hot summer months.
