Enter UF PRO. These guys don’t just make exceptionally ergonomic and functional garments, they are also very innovative in their use of materials. And if the material they want doesn’t exist? They go out and get it made!
Case in point: they developed the first (and so far, only!) breathable, waterproof, GreenZone™ material for their SmallPac Monsoon rain suit. And the result? “Regarding comfort and waterproofness we did not notice any difference compared with the GORE-TEX® SmallPac Suit. And regarding noise the GreenZone 2.5 layer laminate is even superior to the GORE-TEX® Paclite.”

Included in the line-up is the new HUNTER SWEATER in PenCott-GreenZone™ camouflage.
The UF PRO® Hunter Sweater is the perfect add-on to your garment system for cold, windy or wet days. It provides superb comfort during outdoor activities in colder weather conditions.
And as it is light and nicely packable, it perfectly qualifies for longer outdoor activities and can be worn under tactical equipment or simply as a “stand alone” sweater.

UF PRO® partnered up with a German high-tech laminating partner to deliver this lightweight, wind- and waterproof 2.5-layer laminate solution that will keep you dry in even the worst weather conditions.
The SmallPac™ requires very little packing space and can also be attached to the MOLLE system on your backpack, vest or plate carrier – for quick and easy access at any time.

The UF PRO® Silent Warrior Sniper Suit is designed to fulfill the highly demanding requirements of professional scouts and snipers. As the functional, camouflaged outer-layer of a multiple-layer garment system, it has to provide all the specific features to support the user’s role; it has to protect against the ingress of insects; and it has to provide superb camouflage and concealment performance in the visual and near-Infra-Red spectrum.
As the Silent Warrior suit is worn as an over garment it is tailored with a looser cut than UF PRO’s Striker XT BDU system, so that it can be easily adjusted to fit over different base, insulation, and wet weather protection layers.
The suit also features mesh-lined ventilation openings to provide air circulation without allowing the entry of insects and / or dirt and debris.

Based on the previous Striker Combat Shirt, the XT model features a new cut and improvements to comfort and functionality.
The torso is composed of 100% polyester with abrasion-resistant knitware, and the armpit area is composed of a mix of polyester and merino wool for durability, comfort, and odor-inhibition.
UF PRO air/pac inserts in the shoulder area distribute weight and prevent thermal bridges.
The cut of the sleeve and the slide-in elbow pockets have been ergonomically improved so that the wearer will always land on the inserted D3O elbow protection. Large upper arm pockets with Velcro, and forearm pockets with additional phone clasp allow for storage of important items.
The Striker XT pant is made from 50/50 NyCo ripstop fabric (the SloCam variant is made from a 67/33 PolyCotton blend) and features a proximal anatomic cut with inserted stretch areas made from a resilient Schoeller-dynamic stretch material for limitless comfortable movement.
The XT pant has a functional pocket configuration:
The pants also feature a front zipper with two zip sliders, and a high belt area with double belt loops.
The Striker XT Combat Jacket is a multipurpose outer layer field jacket, made from 50/50 NyCo ripstop fabric.
The shoulders feature UF PRO air/pac inserts to distribute weight and prevent thermal bridges.
The arms feature pockets on the upper arms with large Velcro area, elbow pockets for D3O Trio Mid protectors, and cuff adjusters.
Four front pockets with inner compartments and a back pocket offer ample storage.
Additional features include a stow away hood, waist draw cord, lower hem adjustment, and side vents.
The STRIKER XT line is available in PenCott-GreenZone™. PenCott-BadLands™ will also be available in the near future.
Pre-orders are available with an introductory price of 5% off.

This limited edition version of the UF PRO® Combat Shirt was designed and manufactured for the Silent Heroes Foundation’s Special Interdiction Unit rhino protection project. The shirt was specifically designed to provide excellent wearability, comfort and camouflage properties in the harsh South African environment.
The sleeves are made from 50/50 NyCo ripstop BadLands camouflage fabric and are equipped with the typical Striker pocket configuration. The moisture-wicking, quick drying torso and arm pit areas use a new Merino/COCONA® knit to provide optimum comfort and durability. The COCONA® fibre also contain active charcoal in order to avoid bad odours.
The UF PRO® air/pac® inserts in the shoulder area and D3O® Trio Mid protectors in the elbow areas provide additional wear comfort.
Priced at 75 EUROs, the Striker Combat Shirt – Silent Heroes Edition is available in limited quantities at the UF PRO webstore.
