Helikon tactical shirt RAID PolyCotton Stretch, rip-stop - Olive Green

The RAID Tactical Shirt

The RAID Tactical Shirt represents a modern take on the classic uniform shirt, making it ideal for service duties and everyday activities in the city or the outdoors. The shirt is made from Polycotton Stretch Ripstop fabric (48% cotton, 50% polyester, 2% elastane), providing it with stretchability and allowing greater freedom of movement.

Main Features:

• Raglan construction: The sleeves are sewn directly into the collar, ensuring no seams on the shoulders for greater comfort.
• 8 pockets for maximum practicality:
• Two angled chest pockets with Canadian button closures.
• Two inner mesh pockets - one with a zipper and the other open on the chest.
• Two angled shoulder pockets with Velcro or Canadian button closures.
• Two smaller open shoulder pockets designed for small items like a compass.

This shirt model draws inspiration from the historical evolution of uniform shirts, from the M42 Parachute Uniform of the 1940s, through the TCU (Tropical Combat Uniform) of the Vietnam War era, to the BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) introduced in the US Army in the late 20th century. Thus, this shirt represents a modern version of the best of these classic models with adjustments for maximum comfort and efficiency not only in professional settings.

What makes the RAID tactical shirt stand out?

• Raglan construction: Minimizes seams on the shoulders, enhancing comfort and reducing the risk of friction and uncomfortable pressure when worn under a vest or gear.
• Practical pockets: Eight pockets provide ample storage space for gear and small items, designed to be easily accessible yet secure.
• Modern material: Using Polycotton Stretch Ripstop fabric ensures the shirt's durability.
