Vertx®, a premier tactical and outdoor brand of apparel and gear, is pleased to announce the release of new solid colors to the RECON line of uniforms.

The RECON Pants will be available in Black, Navy and OD Green.

“We’ve seen great success and reception in the market with our RECON uniform in MultiCam® in regards to its functionality and price point,” says Darrell Morrow, Vice President of Vertx. “With that said, a number of agencies and units expressed their desire to have the uniform offered in their standard colors. This provided the necessary catalyst to investigate which colors were most requested and from that research we ended up with the mix that we are now launching. We feel that the uniform fulfills a need in most agencies and units to have a robust, functional uniform at a feasible price.”

Sought after by America’s Top Federal Elite, the Vertx RECON Uniform in solid colors offers the ultimate in storage and mobility in a 65/35 PolyCotton Ripstop construction.

The RECON Garrison Shirt offers maximum storage ability in a traditional-style field shirt. Paired with the RECON pants, the RECON Garrison Shirt is 65/35 PolyCotton Ripstop for reinforced durability, with and without additional gear. The Garrison Shirt offers multiple pocket configurations for carrying and easily accessing needed essentials. The Garrison Shirt has an MSRP of $169.95.

With Over 12 pockets, the RECON Pants offer maximum storage ability for units who need to balance loading and packing with the ability to remain mobile and functional.
