Lancer Tactical Combat Shirt, XL, Black

The Lancer Tactical Combat Shirt is about solving one problem: how do you stay comfortable in the torso and protected on the sleeves when you're running a full loadout and the heat is on? It uses two different fabrics for two different jobs. The torso is 92% cotton with 8% spandex — a stretchy knit that moves with you and breathes. The sleeves are 50/50 cotton-poly ripstop, which resists water, holds its color, and takes abrasion from gear rubbing, brushes, and the ground.

The elbow pads. A set of EVA pads comes integrated into the sleeves. They're not the thinnest foam you've seen on a combo shirt — they've got real substance to them, and they hold their shape through a game. If you play fields with tight cover, crawling, or just run kneeling positions a lot, they save your elbows from the nylon of your rig. Not a replacement for dedicated knee pads, but they get the job done.

Fit and features that make sense. The shirt is cut for layering — wear it under a plate carrier or chest rig without bunching, and the stretchy torso is what makes that possible. The zippered arm pockets are small but genuinely useful for a mag, a phone, or field medication. The adjustable cuffs seal over gloves and keep debris out. Everything's cut to sit under rigging without adding bulk.

What it's for and what it isn't. This is a skirmish shirt — hot days, long events, games where you need to move freely and you're tired of wrestling with a sweaty polyester t-shirt. The ripstop sleeves mean it holds up to the abuse of active play, and the stretch torso means you don't feel like you're suffocating through the afternoon. It's not a standalone piece for collectors or casual wear. You buy it because you're running gear and you want the fabric to work for you, not against you.

Includes the combat shirt and a set of EVA elbow pads.
