What Is a UBACS Shirt? A Guide to MTP Tactical Clothing
If you’ve been looking for military, cadet or outdoor clothing, you may have come across the term UBACS.
But what exactly is a UBACS shirt, and why is it different from an ordinary camouflage top?
Here’s a simple guide.
What Does UBACS Mean?
UBACS stands for Under Body Armour Combat Shirt.
The design combines a comfortable main body with more durable camouflage sleeves, creating a practical piece of clothing for active use.
Rather than simply being a standard camouflage shirt, the design is intended to provide freedom of movement while retaining useful tactical features.
British Army Style MTP UBACS
The British Army Style MTP PCS UBACS available from Military Force uses a British multi-terrain inspired camouflage pattern.
It features a Coolmax style main body designed to help keep the wearer comfortable, alongside camouflage sleeves and a half-zip front.
There are also multiple arm pockets, adjustable cuffs and hook-and-loop areas on both sleeves for attaching compatible badges or patches.
Who Can Wear a UBACS?
UBACS-style clothing isn’t limited to one type of customer.
It can be useful for activities including:
Cadets – a practical option for training and outdoor activities.
Airsoft and paintball – lightweight clothing can be particularly useful when you’re moving around for extended periods.
Outdoor activities – the combination of a comfortable body and more durable sleeves makes the design useful for active environments.
Military enthusiasts – MTP-inspired clothing provides the familiar British military-style appearance.
Always check the clothing requirements of your organisation or activity before purchasing equipment for uniformed use.
Complete the Look with MTP PCS Trousers
If you want matching trousers, Military Force also stocks British Army Style MTP PCS Trousers.
They feature five pockets, including two large reinforced cargo pockets on the legs, alongside a zip fly, storm flap and wide belt loops.
They’re designed to be lightweight while remaining robust.
Buying the Shirt and Trousers Together
If you need both pieces, you don’t have to purchase them separately.
The British Army Style MTP PCS UBACS and Trousers Set combines the UBACS shirt and matching combat trousers in one set.
At the time of writing, the individual UBACS and trousers are each listed at £24.99, while the complete set is listed at £42.99.
That makes the set worth considering if you need both pieces.
UBACS or Tactical Fleece?
These products serve different purposes.
A UBACS is a better choice when you want lightweight MTP-style clothing for active use.
When warmth is the priority, a tactical fleece may make more sense.
Military Force’s Tactical Fleece Hoodie provides lightweight insulation and includes secure pockets, a funnel-neck design and hook-and-loop areas on the upper arms.
