When manufacturing military uniforms, one of the main criteria is their comfort in various field conditions. The winter uniform should be warm but lightweight and not restrict movement. Summer gear should protect against the sun, mechanical damage, but "breathe" and not compress the skin. Tactical shirts Ubaks have embodied all these requirements and have become one of the most popular elements of military uniforms. They are also valued by hunters, extreme sports enthusiasts, and tourists for their operational properties. In the PROF1GROUP online store for military goods, Ubaks of various styles and colors are available.
Origin of Ubaks
The Ubaks shirt appeared thanks to American peacekeepers during missions in hot countries. Due to the extreme climate, they had to improvise with the uniform to provide good ventilation and sun protection. For this purpose, they combined underwear vests and t-shirts with standard BDU coats. The invention caught on and gradually became part of the uniform for military groups and armies of many countries.
In Ukraine, tactical Ubaks are approved for military uniforms of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, used by emergency services workers, police. This uniform element provides breathability, freedom of movement, while reliably protecting the skin from damage and irritation. Depending on the purpose and conditions of use, you can choose a shirt with impregnation that protects against moisture, high temperatures, including a fire-resistant model.
Purpose of Ubaks
The Ubaks shirt (Under Body Armour Combat Shirt) is a base layer combat shirt worn under body armor. Military personnel have to carry heavy loads in backpacks, unload systems that fit snugly against the back and chest, creating uncomfortable pressure and friction on the skin. To reduce discomfort, clothing should be as soft as possible, with good ventilation. To achieve this, front and rear panels that protect the chest, abdomen, and back are sewn from elastic fabric consisting of cotton and spandex (polyester).
Hands and shoulders not involved under load must be reliably protected from precipitation, blazing sun, as well as sharp and rough objects that can scratch hands. Tactical Ubaks incorporates stronger, stiffer cotton fabric in these areas, similar to a classic coat, made with Ripstop technology.
The combination of materials creates the best conditions for comfortable wear in warm and cold weather, unrestricted movement, without chafing under body armor and bags.

Ubaks combat shirts are available in several models, all of which take into account the following design features:
- stand-up collar with a short zipper in front to protect the neck from chafing by body armor, unloading system;
