What is tactical clothing?
Such garments have a purpose, and it is to help operators perform at their best while they are embarked upon missions.
This help can come in the form of protection from nature (the elements and the environment), from the effects of manmade heat and flames, from ballistic projectiles, and/or from detection by the searching eyes of hostile actors.
Help can also come by making it possible to carry more of what’s needed during the mission (essential supplies and ammo).

"The amount of money I have spent with UF PRO is obscene, but damn it’s all worth it. I own a class 3 FFL and I literally wear nothing more than UF PRO gear. The most technical clothing that is comfortable to wear 18 hours a day you just can’t find anywhere else. All I can say is keep it up."
