Clawgear
Clawgear Operator Combat Shirt MK III ATS Flex
A combat shirt that doesn't treat the torso and arms the same way, because they don't experience the same conditions. Under a plate carrier, the torso needs to dissipate heat; on the arms, abrasion dictates the lifespan.
Two materials, placed where they are needed
The sleeves are made of mechanical stretch NYCO RipStop, ATS Flex technology: wear resistance on the shoulders and along the arms, with elasticity derived from the fabric's construction. The torso is a knit blend of 50% cotton, 39% modacrylic, and 10% viscose, chosen for thermal management under the plate carrier.
The elbows
Pre-shaped and lined, with width adjustment by velcro at the bottom of the sleeves. The sleeve adjusts to the forearm instead of flapping, which matters when wearing cuffed gloves.
Shoulder padding
Internal compartments accommodate padding that distributes strap pressure. Over a day in gear, this determines the condition of the trapezius muscles in the evening.
Storage and identification
- 2 flat pockets on the upper arms, with concealed zippers, and internal and external attachment loops
- Velcro surfaces on the upper arm and at the back of the collar
Construction
Extended quarter-zip front, stand-up collar, seamless underarm gusset.
Colors and sizes
Seven colors: Black, Coyote, Navy, Stonegrey Olive, Flecktarn, Multicam, and Multicam Black. From XS to 3XL.
