Viper Tactical Mesh-tech Armour Top – Technical Base Layer

The Mesh-tech Armour Top is a long-sleeve shirt in 100% Mesh-Tech polyester designed for those who operate or train in conditions demanding freedom of movement and active heat management: shooters, hunters and operators who wear body armour or harnesses over their base layer will appreciate its low-profile fit and stretch construction.

The Mesh-Tech polyester fabric combines breathability with fast drying: during a hunting outing or a shooting session that alternates waiting with movement, sweat is drawn away from the skin without the garment becoming heavy or cold when you stop. It is not a water-resistant fabric, nor is it intended as wind protection: its role is that of a technical base layer, to be paired with a mid-layer or a jacket when temperatures drop.

The quarter-length front zip allows quick ventilation adjustment without having to remove any harnesses or chest rigs worn on top. The stretch fit follows movement without bunching under a plate carrier or battle belt. The low weight keeps bulk to a minimum when carried as a spare layer in a pack.

Key points

• The 100% polyester Mesh-Tech fabric wicks moisture quickly, keeping the body dry through alternating effort and rest.
• The stretch fit does not restrict shoulder rotation and does not create uncomfortable bunching under ballistic protection or tactical harnesses.
• The quarter-length front zip lets you open or close the neckline in seconds without removing anything worn on top.
• The lightweight profile makes it suitable as a spare layer in a pack or as a base under a softshell during transitional seasons.
• Long sleeves protect the arms without adding bulk, keeping the shirt compatible with gloves and tactical wrist gear.
