Atlanta based Atlanco and Delaware based Invista have teamed up on a high tech venture in modern combat clothing.  The result of this collaboration is the Tru-Spec TRU combat shirt.  The shirt features a Cordura base layer with sleeves made of traditional rip stop fabric commonly found in military and law enforcement uniforms.  The Cordura base layer is what sets this shirt in a league of its own.

Based on a current military design being tested by air crews in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Tactical Response Combat Shirt is designed to be worn under body armor and protective vests.  This next-to-skin garment is constructed with No Melt/No Drip Cordura Baselayer fabric, the secret to the shirt’s protective qualities.  The 60/40 blend of cotton and nylon reduces the severity of burn injuries by charring instead of melting when exposed to heat.  Unlike heavier and uncomfortable Nomex apparel that the military currently utilizes in flight crew operations, the Cordura base layer is known for its durability and abrasion-resistant characteristics.  Cordura Baselayer fabric provides a comfortable, breathable, lightweight solution with exceptional moisture management properties.
