The Dutch must have a crush on the British, because this looks awfully a lot like a DPM UBAC.
With differences in camo only a real aficionado could pick out, the Dutch combat shirt is astonishingly similar to the prolific British UBAC in the queen's best camo.
This combat shirt follows the design of many of the currently available combat shirts from the 2000s and onwards. They feature a stretchy moisture-wicking chest with a quarter zip for comfort under plate carriers and other LBE. The ripstop sleeves feature two large pockets on the shoulders with loop fields for unit patches and have hook and loop closure wrist cuffs. Much of the sleeves also features heavily reinforced wear areas on the shoulders and articulating elbow patches for maximum durability.
Additionally, unlike many combat shirts on the market, these feature an FR material on the camouflaged ripstop fabric areas, and on the green body variants, an anti-mosquito permethrin treatment. While the permethrin may have lost some of its effectiveness over the years, trust us as former "land of 10,000 mosquitos" residents — It's a godsend.
Overall, these are certainly nothing to sneeze at especially in terms of build quality. And your wallet might thank you for not choosing Crye.
