Olive Turtlenecks and Khaki Sweaters

An olive turtleneck or sweater is a basic piece for anyone who wears olive or camouflage tactical pants, a jacket or a plate carrier and wants the top layer to match the rest of the outfit. This kind of clothing is worn for service, in the field, for hunting and in the city. The main question before buying is what role the garment will play: a thin layer under gear or a warm standalone top.

Turtleneck or sweater: which one suits you

A turtleneck fits close to the body and has a high collar or stand-up neck, so it works well as a base or mid layer under a jacket, body armor or chest rig. A low collar with no fasteners, like on the Call Dragon model, does not get in the way under a helmet or balaclava. Choose a size so that the turtleneck does not bunch up under your gear: extra fabric chafes and restricts movement.

An olive sweater is first of all a warm top. Knitted models have a round neckline and are worn on their own or under a jacket. Pay attention to the patches of heavy fabric on the shoulders and elbows: these are the places that wear out fastest under backpack straps and belts. A brushed-fleece sweatshirt is a compromise for the city and camp: soft, with a raised mock neck and comfortable over a T-shirt.

Fabric for your scenario

A microdiving turtleneck is thin and stretchy, and it is convenient to wear in the off-season or on the move, when quickly wicking away moisture matters. Microfleece, fleece-lined fabric, brushed fleece and three-thread fleece-backed knit are warmer — take them for cold weather, but under a heavy jacket on a warm day such a turtleneck will be too much. A cotton turtleneck feels pleasant against the skin, but it takes longer to dry after intense activity.

A knitted sweater with wool holds heat well even when it has gotten a little damp. The sweater with patches is made, according to the manufacturer, of a blend of 50% acrylic and 50% wool — such yarn is less itchy than pure wool. Wash wool items gently and dry them laid flat, otherwise they shrink and stretch out.

Are olive and khaki the same color?

Yes, sellers call the same color either olive or khaki, so you can search by both names. At the same time, the shade differs between manufacturers and batches: one khaki turtleneck is darker, another has a grayish tone. If you are putting together an outfit with pants of the same color, compare the photos in daylight. Olive also goes well with coyote, Multicam and black, and you can see other colors and models among all the tactical turtlenecks and sweaters.

Frequently asked questions

Can I wear an olive sweater under body armor?

You can, but a thin turtleneck is more convenient for this. Bulky knit bunches up under the plates, and the body sweats faster under it. It is better to wear a sweater over your gear or under a jacket during a rest stop.

How much does an olive turtleneck cost?

Prices for olive turtlenecks and sweaters range from 450 to 1 230 UAH. The cost depends primarily on the fabric, the insulation and whether there are patches.
