T-Shirt Combat Anti-Static PCS Light Olive

COOLMAX® fabric is a technological fabric that efficiently wicks moisture away through temperature differences. Moisture released by the skin is not absorbed by Coolmax; instead it moves, evaporating, from one air pocket to another. Once it reaches the outer layer, it evaporates completely. For maximum effect, the material must fit closely against the skin. As a polyester, it is moderately hydrophobic, so it absorbs little liquid and dries relatively quickly (compared with absorbent fibres such as cotton).

As it evaporates, moisture absorbs the heat required for its transition from liquid to gas. This slightly cools the surface of the material, preventing the skin from overheating. That is why Coolmax T-shirts are so popular — they make heat far easier to bear.

The Personal Clothing System (PCS) is the British individual clothing system, an analogue of the American multi-layer "ECWCS" system. PCS was created to replace the previous-generation Combat Soldier 95 (CS95) clothing set, introducing a number of improvements:

• Modern materials that maximise body heat retention at a lower material weight.
• Improved temperature control and regulation through the use of new materials and technologies.
• Better and more convenient use of the clothing together with body armour.
• Faster access through the partial elimination of buttons.
• Better and more compact storage of outer garments using integrated stuff sacks.
