Vertx Combines Utility and Style with the New Vaporcore Shirt

Tuesday, January 26th, 2021

Capitol Dress Shirt Newest Addition to the Prepared Professional’s™ Arsenal

Cincinnati, Ohio – Vertx®, a leading manufacturer of low-profile tactical apparel and accessories, announces the launch of the Capitol Dress Shirt; a classic, professional button down with 37.5® active particle technology. Offered in White Noise, a crisp white, and Jettison Blue, a classic blue, the shirts are now available online at vertx.com and in-store. Customers can find their nearest dealer using the Vertx® store locator at vertx.com/store-locator.

“At Vertx® we serve many professionals working in both public and private security where they are often required to dress for casual and formal environments,” said Denny Bogard, GM/VP of Vertx. “A full day in suit and tie gets uncomfortable pretty quickly and especially on the job. We’ve designed the Capitol Shirt to combat the challenges our customers face when it comes to the mobility and comfort of professional attire.”

Part of the expanding line of VaporeCore™ products, the Capitol Dress Shirt is built using 37.5® active particle technology fabrics. 37.5® particles attract sweat vapor away from the skin and absorb the body’s natural infrared (IR) light, releasing it when hot. This means that under layers and during strenuous activity, the Capitol Shirt is working with the wearer to keep them cool, dry and odor-free. In addition to its temperature-regulating fabric, the Capitol is constructed to provide the utmost in mobility. Its tapered athletic fit and extended tail eliminates interference with holsters and when drawing. Even when worn under a jacket or sport coat, the Capitol’s underarm articulation allows for unrestricted range of motion. The Capitol proves that tactical advantage and professional appearance aren’t mutually exclusive. Learn more about the Vertx® Capitol Dress Shirt and the rest of the VaporCore™ line at vertx.com.

Staying fit for the job is a priority and whether it is hitting the gym or the road as a patrol bike cop, GALLS Performance Compression Low Cut Socks  (Item #FT2678) offer superior fit and support while keeping feet dry and friction-free. Compression spandex throughout the sock plus a deep heel pocket ensures the sock doesn’t slide off the foot, even under extreme activity.
