Questions about the Women's Defender Short Sleeve Shirt
How is this different from the long sleeve Women's Defender Shirt?
It uses the same Defender fabrics, a jersey body with cotton/Cordura® Nylon sleeves and collar, in a short sleeve version for warm weather.
How does the Defender compare to the Women's V2 Responder Short Sleeve Shirt?
Both pair a jersey body with ripstop sleeves. The Defender uses heavier 6.9 oz cotton/Cordura® Nylon double ripstop for tactical teams; the V2 Responder uses lighter 4.1 oz V2 poly/cotton with a DWR finish and includes epaulettes. Compare all First Tactical shirts and polos.
Can I add patches?
Yes. The oversized sleeve pockets accept patches or embroidery. Contact us about adding your agency's patch.
Is the Women's Defender Shirt flame resistant?
No. First Tactical makes no flame-resistance or NFPA claim for this tactical shirt. It is not flame-resistant (FR) apparel and is not PPE or turnout gear, so wear it on duty and around the station, not for firefighting.
