Helikon-Tex® Apex Lightweight Combat Shirt

The Helikon-Tex Apex Lightweight Combat Shirt is designed for intensive activity in hot weather. Its Nylon Stretch fabric combines 84% nylon with 16% elastane for flexibility, breathability, and effective moisture management. The slim fit minimizes excess material and makes the shirt suitable for wear under a plate carrier, chest rig, or other load-bearing equipment.

Nylon Stretch for Dynamic Movement

The lightweight Nylon Stretch fabric follows the wearer's movements when changing shooting positions, handling equipment, or moving dynamically. Its high elastane content provides flexibility, while the breathable construction supports airflow and moisture transfer during physical exertion.

Designed for Hot Conditions

Helikon-Tex classifies the Apex Lightweight Combat Shirt for use in temperatures of approximately 19 to 40 °C. Its low weight and breathable design help reduce heat buildup during training, range sessions, and field use.

Designed for Load-Bearing Equipment

The close-fitting cut and low-bulk construction work well beneath a plate carrier, chest rig, or similar tactical equipment. The shirt limits unnecessary fabric buildup while maintaining freedom of movement.

Shoulder Patch Panels

Hook-and-loop panels on both shoulders accommodate compatible unit patches, flags, identification markings, and morale patches.

Adjustable Collar

The collar uses a hook-and-loop closure to adjust neck coverage and ventilation. It can be closed more tightly for protection against wind, dust, or strong sunlight and loosened during strenuous activity.

Elastic Cuffs

Elastic sleeve cuffs help keep the sleeves securely in place without requiring additional adjustment.
