KOMENDA, SLOVENIA (21 May 2026) UF PRO has introduced the new P-40 Responder Shirt, a lightweight short-sleeve tactical shirt designed for patrol duties, range training, extended operational wear in warm-weather conditions, and everyday duties on base grounds. While traditional long-sleeve combat shirts remain essential for military field operations, the P-40 Responder Shirt was designed primarily for law enforcement professionals, instructors, range personnel, and users operating in controlled or less demanding environments where reduced heat buildup, comfort, and mobility become a priority. The new shirt brings the functionality of a combat shirt into a lightweight short-sleeve configuration focused on breathability, unrestricted movement, and long-term comfort under tactical equipment. Its hybrid construction combines durable PolyCo Ripstop reinforcement in exposed areas with a lightweight knitted torso fabric engineered for fast drying performance, moisture management, and unrestricted movement during prolonged activity in high temperatures. To improve comfort during extended wear under load-bearing equipment, the shirt integrates UF PRO air/pac® shoulder inserts that help distribute weight more evenly while improving airflow beneath backpacks, plate carriers, and body armour. Lightweight and air-permeable side padding further reduces pressure and irritation around sensitive hip-bone areas when wearing combat belts or waist-mounted equipment. Additional operational features include upper arm…
