Engineered as a lightweight, inherently FR fabric for high humidity climates, Commando™ uses COOLDERM™ Technology for enhanced comfort. Active moisture wicking pulls moisture and sweat away from the skin with a quick drying time which means less irritation and greater ease of wear. Combine all of these attributes with a soft hand and sharp appearance and it’s easy to see why Commando™ is ideal for tropical surroundings.
