US Army Hot Weather Flyers Shirt, OG-106

Description

These are US Army Hot Weather Flyers Shirts in OG-106. These shirts are the predecessors to the aircrew uniforms that the US Army has used throughout the 1980s, 1990s and into today. Vietnam was a turning point for US equipment in many ways. The hot and wet jungles caused more than their fair share of problems when it came to how well gear preformed or held up. The US military at large spent a lot of time during Vietnam improving equipment and uniforms to better serve the troops using it and these Hot Weather Flyers Shirts are an example of that. The idea was to provide rotary wing aircrewman with a more hot weather geared uniform that also provided increased protection from burn injuries that were occurring to helicopter crews. The shirts are constructed from a 100% “high temperature resistant nylon” (marked as 100% polymide on some shirts) that is extremely lightweight and breathable. The shirts feature a zipper closure, hook and loop collar closure, adjustable sleeve cuffs, chest pockets and a zippered shoulder pocket. So whether you 1st Cav LARP need completion or your just looking to round out that Vietnam era collection consider picking up one of these US Army Hot Weather Flyers Shirts today!
