It's high time for us to introduce the UF PRO Striker in Generation 2. At the same time, we're showcasing the new color "Frost Grey" from UF PRO. If you're impatient, go ahead and watch the video above underneath the featured image!
First, let's introduce the Combat Shirt. Compared to the first generation, only minor changes have been made – staying true to the style and concept. It's hard to improve something that's already good. For those who are new to the Combat Shirt, we'll show you all the old details again and garnish them with the new features. Is Tea Bag Compostable
So, diving into the material jungle: The shirt is made of 67% polyester and 33% ripstop cotton fabric. This blend is only used for Black, Stone Gray Olive, and Frost Grey – in Pencott Greenzone and Multicam, the mixture ratio is 50/50, while for Flecktarn, it's 35% polyester and 65% ripstop cotton fabric. Additionally, all models feature a merino-polyester blend under the armpits, reinforced with a breathable nylon mesh.
The first change you'll notice when putting it on: The collar zipper is much longer than the previous version. This allows even the thickest heads to fit through.
The mandarin collar has a garage for the zipper, protecting the chin and beard. Also visible are the broad shoulders: in this case, they are the UF PRO® air/pac® inserts, ensuring circulation and comfort when wearing plate carriers and backpacks.
At the elbow, there is an insert for protectors and above it, a zipper, which is the second change.
Now, there is a ventilation opening at the elbow, lined with mesh fabric, operated by a zipper.
The cuffs can be adjusted with velcro. The sleeve is wide open, making it easy to roll up.
The upper arm pockets now have a small tab on the outside that can be kept in place with teeth. This makes operating the pocket even easier. The velcro patches also have a new look, with rounded edges that blend into the overall design. The embroidered UF PRO logo from the forearm in GEN I has now been replaced by a logo tag on the left arm.
The forearm pocket, found on both sleeves, no longer has a drainage eyelet compared to the previous version. As a new feature, three rows of MOLLE with two loops each have been integrated here. Optionally, there is a card/ID pocket available for quick access.
Next up is the Striker XT Combat Pants. The material mix is identical to the shirt – instead of Merino, Schoeller® Dynamic with 92% and 8% elastane is used for the pants. This fabric is used for the crotch, buttocks, and above and below the knee protectors to ensure optimal freedom of movement.

and knee protectors are made of Cordura fabric.
The knee protectors (UF PRO Solid and Flex Pad) can still be inserted from above and below. The top closure is done via a zipper, while the bottom closure is made with velcro.
A bit lower, there is a spacious thigh pocket on each side.
