Defcon 5 Tiger Combat Shirt Sweatshirt - Vegetato

Tactical Combat Shirt in Italian Vegetato camouflage, designed for intensive use in the field and during operational activities. The torso is made from a blend of 92% cotton and 8% elastane, while the sleeves are made from Rip-Stop fabric containing 60% cotton and 40% polyester. The design includes YKK zips, 2 shoulder pouches, velcro panels, adjustable cuffs, and elbow pad pockets.

The torso is made from a blend of 92% cotton and 8% elastane, which translates into greater material elasticity and better freedom of movement. The sleeves are made from a blend of 60% cotton and 40% polyester in a Rip-Stop weave, which increases tear resistance and limits the further spread of localised damage.

The model is equipped with:

• 2 shoulder pouches closed with YKK brand zips – intended for carrying small pieces of equipment.

The raised collar protects the neck, while the internal windproof strip by the zip helps limit airflow. The cuffs feature double adjustment with velcro and an internal elastic panel, allowing the sleeve circumference to be adjusted. The elbows are fitted with 2 reinforced protector pockets, suitable for soft D5-EP3172 protectors.

The main YKK zip is equipped with an internal windproof strip and a zip slider cover when fully fastened. Reverse zips reduce protruding structural elements and improve wearing comfort.

The model is equipped with 3 velcro panels intended for attaching identification patches and markings. Two are located on the shoulders, and one on the chest.

Vegetato is an Italian military camouflage introduced at the beginning of the 21st century as the standard camouflage of the Italian Armed Forces. The pattern is based on irregular, multi-layered patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and earthy red. Vegetato, also known as mimetico Vegetata or Italian Woodland, was created as a modern alternative to older woodland-type patterns. The rich colour palette and thoughtfully arranged patches effectively break up the soldier's silhouette, making the camouflage effective in varied natural environments - especially in areas covered with low and medium vegetation. Due to its character and colour scheme, Vegetato adapts well to conditions found in many regions of Europe, covering both Mediterranean and temperate climates.
