When the heat is on you need to keep your cool as a law enforcement professional. And one of the best ways to do this is to wear a comfortable tactical shirt crew under your ballistic vest or body armor. These special T-shirts are designed to be very smooth and keep the wearer cool, especially during the hot summer months.

The reason that a specially designed T-shirt is needed is because the ballistic vest or body armor that a police officer must wear during the course of duty can be extremely uncomfortable to wear if the proper undergarment is not worn. Officers will suffer from overheating and chafing and generally feel completely miserable and be unable to do their job well if their skin is not protected well enough and allowed to breathe.

The best tactical shirt crew garments are made out of polyester which helps the wearer to stay cool by keeping perspiration away from the skin. And this is vitally important when working in the hot and humid south or northeast and even more so in the desert southwest in the blistering summertime. If an officer is drenched in sweat then he is unlikely to perform as well he should.

But these T-shirts are not only for on duty use. They can also be worn under a fancy blazer for a stylish night out on the town or can be worn when working out or exercising too. They provide the wearer with added confidence because they not only look great but also are so soft and comfortable that the wearer almost forgets that he has it on.

It cannot be overstated that a law enforcement officer needs the very best tools to do his job well. And one of those tools is the clothes that he wears each and every day out in the field. He must not feel encumbered or held back in any way when in a hot foot pursuit or when in a potentially dangerous situation facing heavy fire from armed suspects while wearing his ballistic vest or body armor. Therefore he must be wearing the most comfortable and functional undershirt possible and that is certainly a well designed and manufactured tactical shirt.
