Well·en·brech·erfrom the German wellen“wave” andbrecher“breaker.”

Each Wellenbrecher starts life as a Germandesert camouflagefield shirt. Similar in cut and overall design to theirFlecktarncousins, theseTropentarnshirts incorporate large armpit vents, and a lightweight, three-color fabric.

Wellenbrecher's unique coloration results from a special dying process applied to eachTropentarndonor shirt.Unlike standard 'over-dying,' we use areactive dye whichonly binds to cotton fibers. This leaves all nylon undyed from the arm vents and hook/loop to the nylon fibers in the body of the shirt itself.

Wellenbrecher's slightly iridescent blue-gray appearance is color fast and will not leach or fade. Post dying, your shirt is clear of residual chemicals and clean enough to put in a baby's mouth.

Thisfield shirt can be worn in two different configurations. For a standard 'shirt' cut, we suggest ordering your Gr. size as shown in thewhile keeping your chest size true to measurement.
