The Striker XT BDU line teased late last month is now fully revealed. It consists of shirts, pants, and jackets, which feature improvements over the original Striker line.
Striker XT Combat Shirt
Based on the previous Striker Combat Shirt, the XT model features a new cut and improvements to comfort and functionality.
The torso is composed of 100% polyester with abrasion-resistant knitware, and the armpit area is composed of a mix of polyester and merino wool for durability, comfort, and odor-inhibition.
UF PRO air/pac inserts in the shoulder area distribute weight and prevent thermal bridges.
The cut of the sleeve and the slide-in elbow pockets have been ergonomically improved so that the wearer will always land on the inserted D3O elbow protection. Large upper arm pockets with Velcro, and forearm pockets with additional phone clasp allow for storage of important items.
Striker XT Combat Pants
The Striker XT pant is made from 50/50 NyCo ripstop fabric (the SloCam variant is made from a 67/33 PolyCotton blend) and features a proximal anatomic cut with inserted stretch areas made from a resilient Schoeller-dynamic stretch material for limitless comfortable movement.
The XT pant has a functional pocket configuration:
– Large 2-way access side pocket with inner compartments and attached gear pocket
– Security pocket
– Large lower leg pockets
– Knife or magazine pocket
The XT pant also features a front zipper with two zip sliders, and a high belt area with double belt loops.
Striker XT Combat Jacket
The Striker XT Combat Jacket is a multipurpose outer layer field jacket, made from 50/50 NyCo ripstop fabric.
The shoulders feature UF PRO air/pac inserts to distribute weight and prevent thermal bridges.
The arms feature pockets on the upper arms with large Velcro area, elbow pockets for D3O Trio Mid protectors, and cuff adjusters.
Four front pockets with inner compartments and a back pocket offer ample storage.
Additional features include a stow away hood, waist draw cord, lower hem adjustment, and side vents.
Pre-orders are available with an introductory price of 5% off. Orders will start shipping on May 13th, 2014. The STRIKER XT line is available in PenCott GreenZone, SloCam, Olive Drab, and Black. No word yet on if and when the line will be available in North America.
