British PCS Combat Undershirt, Thermal, Olive Green, Surplus

An olive green British soldier’s cold weather undershirt. Part of the current British army’s Personal Clothing System. An affordable and very functional option for civilian use as well.

Features

Personal Clothing System – Multi Terrain Pattern (PCS-MTP) is the current clothing system of the British army after replacing the previous CS95 (Combat Soldier ‘95). This is one of its components - a long-sleeved undershirt made from soft and warm fleece. The cuffs have thumbholes and the collar features a zipper, enabling you to protect your wrists and some of the neck from the cold wind. The shirt has a long back, so you won’t show the plumber’s crack when wearing this.

Use

I say, British soldiers sure have it good. The Finnish forest troops wear just a tattered hairshirt when it is minus hundred degrees below zero, and the Queen’s finest get these warm wonders when the calendar says it is a tad nippy. These would be nice elsewhere, too. In addition to waging wars, they are quite smart for all sorts of wilderness use in winter, for example, deer hunting or ice fishing.

Materials and care

Made from 100% polyester microfleece. Very lightweight and packable. Wash at 40 degrees Celsius (104 F).
