    Anyone know where sells under armour shirts (the ones you wear under a plate carrier/vest) in US Woodland?

    Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

    I can find the UBACS in British desert DPM and the usual list of ACU etc from China but what about US Woodland? Real or replica will do.


    Cheers


    (Sorry about not explaining what I was on about more clearly, its was almost 2am after all!!!!)

    I thought you meant underarmour the brand name! which are great clothing items.
    I've used them in fencing both to keep warm and to keep cool, fantastic yokes.

    The Shirts you mentioned I reckon are similar.
    I cant find anyplace that has British DPM in stock
    with Large Size.

    ehobby and other places sell the desert camo ones but only
    small and medium sizes. just not bog standard green and brown DPM.

    If you do manage to get your hands on one
    I've heard they are an extremely tight fit.
    A lot of that stretchy type based shirts are though.
    Underarmour type of gear is like a Mork and Mindy outfit
    where it either stretches to fit or else you buy about 2 sizes larger than you need.
    (very very unusual for American brand thats aimed at hockey and football players)

    Viper do them in Brit DPM: http://www.viperkit.co.uk/site/clothing-boots/special-ops-top/prod_1520.html. I was in Go Tactical in Bray a couple of weeks ago and they had a good few of them in stock.

    Oi!

    I wear Under Armour and ArmourFit (Canterbury's rugby version) almost religiously when playing sports or even cold days. Bloody excellent stuff that I first started using as a base layer under my American football armour (hence the name). The "tactical" versions that various places are making tend to be a bit crap by comparison. Especially since you can get the proper stuff in almost every colour now, including tan and OD due to the military market wanting decent hot weather base layers.

    What many people have started calling camo Under Armour (as opposed to wicking shirts) is actually just a new type of breathable smock (like the aforementioned British UBACS), which are actually quite comfortable but in airsoft the only benefit is the look really. But isn't that what it's all about?
    Getting one of these in US Woodland will be a challenge since they weren't actually created when woodland was being used. You'll get it in replica Tri-colour Desert, MarPat (temperate and arid) or ACU in US patterns. Brit DPM and Flecktarn variants are also available.

    Yip but for that price it would be nice to get something better than cheap china stuff/viper. Hell for that price I could get a real one from the states.

    Oh well time for a MARPAT loadout me thinks....

    Highly recommended, I've used them once or twice.

    But I think Chuck wants M81 Woodland pattern. I've never seen an under armour shirt made in that pattern and I doubt we will see one either. The last diehard units in the US armed services have been told to retire their woodland BDUs (even the Military Police) and adopt the new uniforms, so there's no demand for it.

    my mistake...oops see you already have dpm


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,478 ✭✭✭Chuck the Buck

    Thats the type of thing I'm after, but sadly its in Soldier 95.

    It appears that its also difficult to find in Woodland MARPAT too! Plan B (which involves a sewing machine) may have to be implemented.

    I have to say I'm surprised that there aren't any china replicas of it in Woodland or woodland MARPAT, well other than that viper version that AI have, or at least had.

    They do them in British Woodland DPM

    Look under Clothing and Viper €34 not including shipping.

    Only opened recently based in Northern Ireland. I got some gear from them and they are easy to deal with.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,478 ✭✭✭Chuck the Buck


    Yup seen that but I'm not looking for British DPM unfortunately (want US woodland or failing that woodland MARPAT)

    I have found this place though - Krukspec - who have woodland MARPAT and Tigerstripe of all things! Apparently they used to do US woodland but not anymore it seems.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭Poccington


    I can't think of a single time I've seen a Woodland version of those shirts been worn. Although the old Woodlands are still seeing use with certain SOF Units I don't think they bothered making a UBACS version of it.

    I'll have a word with a few folk and see what comes up and let ya know though.

    I've bought from here before, hassle free with Paypal. Takes a while to arrive from China, maybe 2 weeks or more, but prices include shipping.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 797 ✭✭✭Spetzcong


    Is it as good as the real underarmour brand stuff though? I have an OD under armour shirt and it's amazing stuff, gonna invest in some of their cold weather gear next, if it's anything as good as the warm weather stuff I'll be laughing. Wasn't too expensive either, €30 shipped or so from the UK, I'll try and dig out the link.

    Can't say to be honest as I got a tactical vest, not an underarmour shirt, apologies if the link implied I had bought it. I meant that it was another retailer for the OP to consider.

    If you can dig out the link for the place you got yours it would be great, the more choice we have the better.
