Black tactical turtleneck and black sweater
Black tactical turtleneck and black sweater
A black turtleneck is for those who need one piece that works for both uniform and city wear. It is equally suitable under a jacket on duty, at training, and with jeans for everyday wear. Alongside it there is a knit sweater, worn over the turtleneck when a single layer is no longer enough. Prices start from 470 UAH and go up to 780 UAH.
How black differs from olive or coyote
As a base layer under a jacket, color decides nothing, because it is barely visible. It is a different matter when a turtleneck or sweater is worn on its own. In the field, black stands out against greenery and soil, so olive or coyote is better suited for camouflage. In the city, indoors, and under a black or navy uniform, though, black looks restrained and neutral.
Black goes with any outerwear and trousers, so one turtleneck covers several scenarios. There is a downside too: lint, pet hair, and salt marks from sweat show up on dark fabric.
Turtleneck or sweater, and which material
A turtleneck fits close to the body and works as a first layer. Choose a model for your own level of activity:
- a thermoactive turtleneck made of jacquard fabric is suitable for movement and training;
- microdiving and cotton are designed for the off-season and everyday wear;
- brushed cotton flannel and fleece-lined knit are for the cold season.
A cotton turtleneck has a slim-fit cut and a stand-up collar. Insulated models have a higher collar that covers the neck even when the jacket is unzipped.
A knit sweater is a mid layer. It is worn over a turtleneck or shirt, or instead of a light jacket. Patches take the friction from belts and gear in the places where knit fabric wears out fastest. The full range of colors and models is in the category tactical turtlenecks and sweaters.
How to keep a deep black color
Black fabric fades from hot water, bleach, and sun. So wash the item inside out in cool water, use a detergent for dark clothes, and dry it in the shade. Do not wash brushed cotton and fleece together with towels: their lint is hard to remove from black.
Frequently asked questions
Is a men's black turtleneck suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, it is. A cotton turtleneck without prints or logos has a civilian look and goes well with a blazer or jacket. Its only tactical feature is the cut.
How do I choose the size?
Check your chest circumference against the size chart of the specific model, since some are marked with letters and others with numeric sizes. For a base layer, choose a close fit, while a sweater worn under outerwear can be taken looser. Some insulated models are listed as unisex, so women should go by circumference rather than the size label.
