Apparel

Coolmax tactical T-shirts are sewn in Ukraine for wear under body armour: a fitted cut that does not restrict movement, hook-and-loop on the sleeves for patches, and a fabric that draws sweat away from the body and dries quickly.

Coolmax fabric

Coolmax is a polyester fibre with a four-channel cross-section. The channels work like capillaries, drawing moisture from the skin to the outer surface, where it evaporates. The fabric breathes and keeps the skin cooler in the heat. Elastane in the mix lets it stretch, so the shirt does not pull at the shoulders when you bend or swing your arms.

Cut

• A fitted cut that does not bunch up under a plate carrier.
• Hook-and-loop on both sleeves for patches.
• Ventilation, and moisture carried away from the body.

Who it is for

Soldiers under body armour and a plate carrier, the range, a run, and hot days in civilian life. The shirt follows the body, so it does not fold under a plate carrier, and without one it looks like an ordinary sports T-shirt.

Models and sizes

The plain T-shirt goes with a uniform of any colour; the pixel and olive one matches the Ukrainian MM-14 pixel pattern. Sizes 46 to 56. Both are summer shirts: in the heat under body armour cotton soaks through and turns cold, while Coolmax stays drier. If the size is wrong, you have 14 days to withdraw without giving a reason; the return postage is yours.

Care

Wash in cold water with no bleach and no fabric softener, which clogs the channels in the fibre. Dry in the air and do not iron. Close the hook-and-loop before washing so it does not catch on the fabric.

Orders for a unit, and delivery

Ten items and up are priced directly, with sizes and colours mixed: send the quantities through the Request a quote form. Parcels ship from Ukraine with Ukrposhta or Nova Post Global. Made in Ukraine, the shirts enter the EU at 0% duty under the EU–Ukraine agreement, and import VAT, the customs levy and the broker fee are already in the price, so there is nothing to pay on delivery. Pay by card at checkout, or by bank transfer on invoice for a foundation or an organisation.
