The Contact Collection is here – geared up for those who refuse to settle for anything less than peak performance

The Contact Collection is inspired by years of operator feedback and research into the latest fabrics and design trendsand is built for frontline professionals who refuse to settle for less than peak performance. Each product in the collection reflects our mission to provide quality, function, and durability. Highlights of the collection include:

Contact UBACS:

The Contact Ubac is a modern update of our classic Ubac design. It features a sturdy front and back yoke for enhanced durability when used with plate carriers. Additionally, we have introduced a new inherently flame-resistant (FR) jersey body that improves comfort and longevity. The fit has been refined with newly tapered sleeves, and the gusseted cuff allows for easy rolling of the mission-critical hero sleeve.

Contact Combat Trousers:

The next generation of Arktis combat trousers. The Contact Combats have been completely redesigned with a new fit that maximises flexibility and comfort to provide our best combat trousers to date.
Large cargo pockets with internal elastic loops create an easily accessible but secure area and a forward zip for easy seated access. The articulated knees and outer 330D Cordura panelling provide high durability, and the integrated internal knee pad option ensures enhanced user comfort.
The Contact Combat Trousers use a mechanical stretch Ripstop construction to maximise their function introducing mechanical stretch not found in standard ripstop.
Lighter than our standard ripstop and ready to flex with you, the Nylon Cotton blend weighs only 185gsm. Lightweight, sturdy and comfortable with our usual DWR finish for water resistance.

Contact Jacket:

Introducing our Contact Field Jacket, a new lightweight outer-field layer as part of our Contact Collection, featuring the same design characteristics and form factor as our Elite Stealth Jacket for excellent layer integration.
Utilising a multi-functional hood; adjustable hem and cuffs; pit zips to allow the wearer to dump heat; and an ergonomic fit with cutting-edge mechanical stretch Ripstop fabric.

According to Chris Trimby, Arktis Design Manager:

“I am very proud to have been part of the team delivering the new Contact Field range of specialist tactical garments in the Arktis Anniversary year and helping steer the brand toward a new chapter.

We have spent the last 18 months designing and developing every element of the contact range, including;

Modernising the fit of our garments to be ergonomic and to work with the body to create a comfortable field layer.

Industry leading, lightweight Cordura Nylon/Cottonmechanical stretch Ripstop fabric.

And regular consulting to ensure the design accounts for the in-field functions required by the modern operator.

 We’ve field-tested with Military and Police personnel to ensure Arktis delivers technical and high-performance garments to meet the standards the brand has adhered to for the last 40 years!”
