UF PRO® has introduced a new addition to their Monsoon waterproof range – the new Monsoon Rain Shirt® .

The lightweight, low bulk Monsoon Rain Shirt® from UF PRO® is specifically designed to be worn underneath a plate carrier, chest rig or other load-bearing gear. It’s made out of a special laminate mix, which makes the jacket thin, breathable and lightweight where it is covered with gear and very robust and extra durable wherever it is not.

Exposed areas, like shoulders, lower back and sleeves are made out of a robust and durable 3-layer laminate. The rest of the jacket is made out of an extremely lightweight and low bulk 2.5-layer laminate. Both laminates are based on a super breathable and reliably waterproof high-tech membrane. For better wear comfort and reduced risk of secondary fragments, there are no pockets or zipper pulls in the torso area.

In order to avoid the formation of so called “thermal bridges“ between your skin and the outside air, the Monsoon Rain Shirt has built-in air/pac inserts in the shoulder area. These 8mm thick mesh inserts give you the necessary insulation between your skin and the outside temperature and thus prevent cold air to transfer from the outside to your skin. Due to their 3D foam structure, the air/pac inserts also distribute the weight of plate carriers or rucksacks.

For unhindered vision and uncompromised hearing, the jacket has a special integrated hood system called the Hood/Harness. The harness comfortably connects your head to the hood and follows your head movements, allowing you unhindered vision in extreme weather conditions. And since there is no strapping needed, the space between your head and the laminate is kept clear for air circulation and doesn’t limit your hearing.

The Monsoon Rain Shirt® is currently available in PenCott-GreenZone® camouflage and in Brown-Grey.

The Monsoon Rain Shirt® is entirely made in Europe from premium, US and European military-grade, field-proven fabrics combined with UF PRO’s unique advanced lamination technology and design aesthetic.

After two years of gathering extensive feedback from field usage all over the world, plus lots of additional hours invested in perfecting even the smallest details – UF PRO® now introduces the new Gen.2 version of their Striker XT BDU system.

Since its introduction in 2014, the first generation of the Striker XT BDU’s became one of the most popular UF PRO® products and they promise that the new generation will push the standards even further.

The new Striker XT Combat Shirt offers the already proven air/pac® inserts in the shoulder area for weight distribution, a materials mix of polyester, cotton and merino and an anatomic and flexible elbow protection system. The Gen. 2 Shirt also has a longer front zipper, and the polyester/ merino armpit area is additionally reinforced with a nylon mesh for protection against abrasion.

Webbing on top of the lower sleeve pocket provides the flexibility for attaching the UF PRO® Device Pouch, or any other MOLLE compatible pouch.

The Striker XT Combat Pants are known for their hybrid structure, which allows the user unhindered movement with a smart pocket configuration and comfortable knee protection. The Gen.2 Pants have now even more stretch built in and offer a bigger and more easily accessible pocket configuration.  The camouflage versions now also have integrated camouflage Schoeller®-dynamic stretch panels.

The 3-layer knee protection can be equipped with either a shock absorbing Flex Pad or with the new UF PRO® Flex- Soft Pad, which offers extra cushioning while kneeling down. Both pads can be reinforced with a penetration resistant UF PRO® Solid Pad.

The Gen.2 STRIKER XT BDU system is available in PenCott-GreenZone® and other camouflage patterns and solid colors.  For further details, visit UF PRO’s website, here.
