    That Blackyak Combat Shirt looks like it came out of one of the Marvel action movies. Not a complaint, just an observation.

      Where as I was thinking the Pig-Tac FiRS-Delta looks like the discontinued Arc’teryx Chimera shirt “with a little something extra”. And the something extra is shoulder pads.
