PLATATAC Cool Under Tactical Shirt (CUTS) V4 - Tigerstripe

Platatac is proud to present an exclusive collaboration with Flimmuur Tactical (UK), bringing to life a reproduction of a classic weathered Tigerstripe pattern in a modern tactical uniform.

Tigerstripe came to prominence during the Vietnam War but was never an official US issue item, personnel permitted to wear it at first had their uniforms custom-made by local Vietnamese tailors as the ARVN uniforms were too small for most Americans; for this reason there were many variations of the basic Tigerstripe pattern. 

Soon, many American special operations forces in the Vietnamese theatre of operations wore the pattern, despite not always being attached to ARVN units: it became the visible trademark of Marine Corps Recon, Green Berets, LRRPs, SEALs, and other elite forces.

The stretch material in the torso is specifically designed to promote cooling and moisture management when wearing body armour in warm environments or whilst conducting strenuous activities.

This bi-component fabric technology is constructed with a hydrophilic interior to pull moisture away from the skin and transfer it to the outer layer. Power Dry’s exterior surface area disperses and releases this moisture for more efficient dry times. Continuous evaporation prevents saturation and regulates temperature in both hot and cold conditions.
