There has been a lot of buzz about Vertx’s new Gunfighter shirt and it is finally available, for pre-order at least.
Available in two weights; a durable nylon cotton ripstop blend and the water-resistant Storm variant, incorporates technical materials and finishes critical for use in harsh weather conditions. Its simple, clean design and articulated shoulders and arm allow for full range of motion. Durable, yet lightweight and breathable, the shirt is ergonomically designed for any situation and does not compromise freedom of movement.
While both versions are currently offered in MultiCam®, Vertx is developing Gunfighter models with solid color shells.
Like all Vertx products, the Gunfighter is designed for the operator who wants the combination of low visual profile and function of a battle garment. It was designed in cooperation with SWAT and military operators interested in a clean, functional approach to high incident tactical wear.
“The Operational Athlete of today has to be highly adaptable, always prepared for a number of situations,†said Vertx President & CEO, Bob Getto. “We work closely with law enforcement and military contacts to understand these unique needs and create wearable performance clothing that can match the versatility required for the job.â€
“Vertx offers a modern take on the battle dress uniform,†said David Walsh, Brand Manager for Vertx. “A low profile, business casual appearance can be maintained without restricting any movement or comfort. This approach enables operators to perform at the highest level needed in an instant without calling direct attention to the individual wearing it.â€
“The gunfighter shirt provides for such a great range of motion without the excess fabric and features associated with other tops that you don’t even know that you are wearing it,†said a SWAT officer wear evaluator. “The Shoulder pocket design is clean, you can slide your arm in and out of jackets or protective equipment and the pocket does not get snagged on the inside of the sleeve.â€
Additional Storm Features
– Stand up collar protects neck from weapon slings and flying hot brass
– Low visual profile zippered bicep pockets provide fluent access to contents
– Loop Velcroâ„¢ patch on both upper arms for Unit patch
– Clean comms wire side seam pass through with Velcro closure
– Intuitive Velcroâ„¢ wrist closures to ensure snag free fit
– Anti-Microbial
– Schoeller Nanosphere® durable water repellant finish
– 100% Made in the USA and Berry Amendment compliant
The Gunfighter Shirt is available now for pre-order with deliveries beginning October 2010 from www.wearvertx.com.
Vertx has announced that the upcoming Gunfighter shirt we recently wrote about will initially be offered in two versions. The first will be a classic 50/50 ripstop NYCO and the second labeled the Storm will be crafted from a water resistant lightweight soft-shell laminate.
Vertx/Fechheimer CEO Bob Getto wore the Storm on a recent Coyote hunting trip in Montana and filed a video report found at the link.
Pre-order now, these are offered in MultiCam and we are sure they will sell out fast. Vertx begins shipping in October.
Vertx recently posted a sneak peek at their upcoming Gunfighter top. Think of it as an alternative to “traditional” combat shirts. They’ve kept the basic concept but made it as more of a utility piece with a woven torso as well as sleeves. Additionally, they have added inset bicep pockets as well as a mandarin collar for wear under armor. One major deviation from other designs is that it has a front opening so you put it on like a jacket. As you can see in the photo the sample is in MultiCam and based on talks with Vertx they plan on offering it as well as several solid color options. Available not soon enough from www.wearvertx.com.
Vertx clothing embodies the spirit of the Operational Athlete and now is a great time for Soldier Systems Daily readers to save 20% on all non-sale items from now until May 31st by using evaluator code “SSYSTEMS”. Also, be sure to read more information on the Vertx Tactical Pant by clicking here.

Like many companies, clothing manufacturer Vertx has a Facebook page, but they are doing something fantastic with theirs. Below is an excerpt from their fan page explaining just what they are up to.
On March 18th Navy SEAL Adam Brown died from injuries sustained during combat operations in Afghanistan while selflessly protecting the rest of his Team’s lives. Some of us here at Vertx had the honor of knowing and working with Adam, a couple had the privilege to call him friend. Adam is survived by his wife as well as a daughter and son, not to mention countless friends, loving family and teammates.
Adam was the epitome of the Operational Athlete you have seen described here. For every new Facebook fan we receive by April 30th up to 10,000, Vertx will donate one dollar to the Adam Brown Memorial Fund. Please use the “Suggest to Friends” link below the Vertx logo to participate. Thank you.
They had planned only to donate $2,400 but they hit 10,000 in a few days. So Vertx is planning to extend their promotion for another 2,000 new fans. If you are a member of Facebook, show your support for this cause and become a fan.
