READY TO DEFEND
The First Tactical Defender Shirt offers the best of both worlds: performance designed to handle any mission while maintaining the professional appearance needed for routine patrols. Performance features include specialized pockets for oversized gear, a specialized yoke to eliminate bulk, and oversized sleeve pockets for patches or embroidery. Creating the perfect shirt for warm weather was a top priority, with articulated elbows, running gussets, and ventilated mesh areas providing advanced movement and breathability.
