Helikon tactical shirt RAID PolyCotton Stretch, rip-stop - US Woodland

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 when worn under a service vest.
• 8 pockets: Designed for maximum practicality.

Pockets:

• Two angled chest pockets: Located on the chest with closures using Canadian buttons.
• Two inner mesh pockets: One with a zipper and the other open on the chest, ideal for storing maps or notepads.
• Two angled shoulder pockets: With closures using either Velcro or Canadian buttons.
• Two smaller open shoulder pockets: Designed for small items like a compass, along with a slot for a pen or pencil.

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.
