A212 Reinforced SWAT Shirt - Black

Well made and worked well on a recent trip where it was windy with some light rain. Drys fast and keeps you warm, with the large zips making it easy to wear.

The shirt is well thought out. The sleeves are wide enough for me to wear gloves underneath. The collar is slightly higher at the neck and therefore fits perfectly like a scarf. Overall it fits like a second skin.

I can only say a positive response about this product. This is my second A212, the first I gave to my friend. He told me it was the best thing he had dressed in his professional career. I want to note that some things that are produced in Romania differ in the quality of sewing. This is worth paying attention to.

Can be outer or mid layer. Mini rip is wind proof, waterproof. It is like a silnylon ripstop. Not quite as breathable as I would like for use in very cardio movements but the ample side zips and long neck zip still don’t cause this garment to be overly sweaty even in the damp temperate rainforest. The garment can be quickly buttoned down and hand warmers extended for warmth in a long stop.

I got this as a lightweight top to go under my waterproof parker. Which has no lining. So can get cold. This is perfect. Keeps me warm while the jacket keeps me dry. One way they could improve this is by having a similar waterproof outer layer like the dIns jacket with the fleece inner lining. The. It would be an all in one. Obviously it would need slight modifications to make it more breathable. Anyway. The actual top I bought is brilliant. Looks cool too.
