TYR Tuesday – Combat Shirt

March 28th, 2017

During SHOT Show, TYR Tactical showed me quite a few new products. We previewed this one at the SIG Range Day, but there are many more to debut during the coming weeks including a few I’ve never seen.

Huron™ Tactical Clothing has continued to grow and evolve this past year. The utilization of state-of-the-art textiles, along with extensive field testing, has culminated in the creation of many new products. As an industry leader in the United States and now in Canada, TYR Tactical® vows to remain committed to upholding the highest standards of quality and integrity, while proudly being able to provide you with 100% US or Canadian-Made products.

TYR Tactical® is proud to announce the release of the Huron™ Hot Weather Uniform Short & Long Sleeve Combat Shirt. These featherweight redesigns are built using the same lightweight, quick drying, ultra-breathable 3.6oz nylon as our Hot Weather Uniform Blouse, along with a Polartec® Power Dry® torso for amazing comfort under armor. Both are available now at tyrtactical.com.

Huron™ Hot Weather Uniform Long Sleeve Combat Shirt

IMG_8141

The Huron™ Hot Weather Uniform Long Sleeve Combat Shirt (HRN-HWU107-CS) was designed to be worn in both arid and humid climates. We incorporated a mix of hi-tech materials and fabric treatments to create a garment that moves moisture away from the body and dries quickly. It’s guaranteed to be the lightest most breathable combat shirt you have ever worn.

Design Features:
• Long Sleeve with Elbow reinforcements.
• Antimicrobial Polartec® Power Dry® polyester is double plaited to wick sweat away from your skin.
• Treated with No Fly Zone® Insect Repellent Technology. This treatment prevents the spread of insect borne diseases by repelling insects through fabrics which require no further processing.
• Treated with Moisture Control System (M.C.S.) technology which provides comfort and breathability. In essence, our M.C.S. finish makes high performance synthetics behave more like cotton in regards to breathability and comfort.
