Multicam UBACS: how to choose a combat shirt to match your kit

A Multicam UBACS is for those who already have a uniform or plate carrier in this camo pattern and want the shirt under the body armor to stay consistent with the kit. Multicam works well in the field, in tree belts and on mixed terrain, so a Multicam tactical shirt is appropriate both on duty and at training exercises or on the shooting range. At the same time, this camouflage has its own nuances: the torso and sleeves are often different colors, and the fabrics differ more than they seem in photos.

Full camo or a solid-color torso?

A UBACS is usually made so that only the sleeves and shoulders are camouflage, while the torso is made of solid-color fabric: olive, coyote, black, gray or beige. This makes sense, because the torso is not visible under body armor, while the sleeves stay in view and have to match the rest of the uniform. If you plan to go without armor or with an unzipped jacket, a solid-color torso will become a noticeable patch against the camo.

So the torso color is worth choosing to match what will be next to it and on top of it. Labels such as "Multicam / olive" or "Multicam / coyote" in the name indicate the torso color. Olive and coyote blend in with Multicam pants more calmly than black does. If the shirt will often be the outer layer, look closely at the photos: a full-camo Multicam combat shirt looks more cohesive in that case. In the names of some British-pattern models you may come across the MTP label — this is also Multicam.

Which torso fabric do you need?

The torso fabric determines which season the shirt will be comfortable in. For the warm season, look for CoolMax or CoolPass in the name, or models with a mesh insert on the chest and stomach, as in some Esdy UBACS shirts: such shirts are made to be worn under body armor in the heat. Cotton versions with short sleeves feel pleasant against the skin, but cotton takes longer to dry when you have sweated heavily.

For the between-seasons period, look at models with stretch or twill. Stretch gives more during active movements, while twill is a denser fabric that withstands friction from gear for longer. Such a shirt is less ventilated, so in intense heat it will be hot under body armor.

For the cold season there are UBACS shirts on fleece, ribbed fleece and microfleece. They work as a warm base layer under body armor or a jacket, but under exertion during the day it is easy to overheat in them. If the days are warm and the nights are cold, it is more practical to have a light UBACS and a separate fleece top than one insulated shirt.

Which cut details are really useful?

The cut can be fitted or straight. A fitted one sits snugly and does not bunch up in folds under the plate carrier, while a straight one is looser and more comfortable if you wear the shirt on its own. Labels G3, G4 or G6 in the names are cut names, so judge the fit by the photos and the size chart of the specific model. For a stocky build there are big-and-tall sizes.

Elbow pad pockets or sewn-in elbow pads will come in handy for those who often lean on their elbows, for example when shooting from the prone position. Hook-and-loop tabs on the cuffs let you tighten the sleeve over gloves, and velcro panels on the sleeves let you attach patches. A raglan sleeve, as in Esdy models, pulls less on the shoulders when you raise your arms. If you need a different camo pattern, take a look at all UBACS and tactical shirts.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Multicam UBACS cost?

Prices range from 750 to 6 220 UAH. The cost is affected by the fabric, insulation and cut details, such as elbow pads or pockets for them. So first decide on the season and purpose, and only then compare prices.

Can you wear a Multicam tactical shirt without body armor?

Yes, a UBACS can be worn as a separate outer layer in warm weather. For this it is better to choose a model with a torso that matches your pants, or with camo on most of the cut. Without armor, the contrast between the torso and the sleeves is more noticeable.

What does MTP in a UBACS name mean?

MTP is the designation for Multicam in British-pattern models. The camo pattern is the same, so such a UBACS goes with the rest of the Multicam kit. Choose it the same way as any other: by torso fabric, sleeve length and cut.
