Durable, comfortable, technologically advanced and manufactured in the heart of Europe: The PITCHFORK Advanced Combat Shirt.
Material
Body: Made from original POLARTEC Power Dry FR material. POLARTEC Power Dry FR is not only certified according to ISO 14116 (flame retardant), but according to ISO 11612 (flame retardant & heat protection). This makes it far superior to similar products on the market. Thanks to the high breathability and the efficient moisture transport of the extremely light and comfortable material, the Advanced Combat Shirt can be worn under equipment without sacrificing comfort.
Sleeves & shoulders: A medium-weight 65/35 polyester-cotton blend fabric specially developed for the PITCHFORK product line is used here. The fabric has a technologically advanced "near infrared" (nIR) treatment to reduce the visual signature when viewed through a modern military night vision device.
YKK zippers and original VELCRO round off the range of high-quality materials.
As always, the materials used were produced according to our specifications and all components were color-matched with other PITCHFORK Systems products in the same color. This way we achieve not only a high grade of usability but also a great overall look and unparalleled quality.
Design
Thanks to the compact design and the high-quality materials, the Advanced Combat Shirt with its modern cut can withstand even the most adverse operating conditions. A medium-high collar protects against debris and shells. Thanks to the tailored fit it does not interfere with wearing a plate carrier. The same applies to the zipper used, which is very flat in the chest area and has two protective flaps in the chin area, which avoids injuring the wearer when closing it. To avoid unnecessary pressure points, all seams are kept flat.
The upper arm pockets are integrated into the sleeves, so they are not too bulky, which allows for a compact overall profile. Generous Velcro surfaces allow patches to be attached on both sides. The Velcro has been separated vertically so that the areas can be bent anatomically around the upper arm. In the elbow area there are compartments for inserting elbow pads. An extra long design ensures that the shirt does not slip out of the pants when bending over or kneeling.
