British Army CoolMax Shirt

British Army CoolMax Tee

This is a British Army issue CoolMax T-shirt, a short-sleeve olive green shirt made to be worn next to the skin under combat clothing. CoolMax is a performance polyester fabric engineered to draw sweat off your body and spread it out so it dries faster than cotton. That makes it a practical choice for hot days, hard training and long hours under a pack or plate carrier, whether you are a soldier, a hiker or someone building a British kit loadout.

Features

• CoolMax Fabric — A moisture-wicking knit that moves sweat away from the skin to the outer surface, where it can evaporate.
• Polyester And Nylon Blend — Synthetic fibers that hold their shape, resist shrinking and dry quickly after washing.
• Textured Mesh Knit — The fine open-weave surface lets air move through the fabric and keeps it from clinging when you sweat.
• Olive Green Color — A plain military olive that sits naturally under British combat shirts, smocks and field jackets.
• Crew Neck — A close round collar with a stitched band that lies flat under an open shirt collar or body armor.
• Short Sleeves — Set-in sleeves with hemmed cuffs keep the arms free for movement and layering.
• Curved Hem — The rounded bottom edge tucks into trousers easily and stays put when you bend or reach.
• Genuine British Army Issue — Originally procured for the British military, not a commercial copy.

Issued Base Layer

The British Army issues CoolMax shirts as a base layer, the first piece of clothing against the skin, where controlling sweat matters most. The polyester and nylon construction is lighter and quicker drying than a cotton tee, so it does not stay cold and wet after exertion. For collectors and reenactors, it is the authentic undershirt for a modern British uniform. For everyone else, it is a hardwearing training and outdoor shirt built to a military requirement.
