OPS-UR TACTICAL GEN 2 DIRECT
ACTION SHIRT AND INTEGRATED
BATTLE PANTS
I
always love finding new suppliers of top quality
gear and www.hueys.co.uk really fits into that
category; for those of you who have not yet
discovered HUEYs you really, really should go
and take a look as they carry a high end range
of tactical brands, some of which are pretty
unique like OPS UR-Tactical. Optimal Performance
Systems (OPS) was established in 2005 and
rapidly developed into a well-known tactical gear brand.
They dedicate their efforts to innovation, the designs and
the functionality of their products; all their gear is made
of genuine, high quality materials to ensure durability and
protection for the end user.
The OPS Gen 2 Improved Direct Action Shirt is available
in a number of colour and camo options and has an RRP
of UK£78.75; it has a body area made from cotton jersey
knit material resulting in more comfort. The under arm
area of the features an elastic material, which again
provides a better fit for the dynamic user; the shirt also
has a high zip collar which is ideal for a little protection
from the elements and helps minimise chafing under a
plate carrier. The forearm has a low profile pocket with zip
on both sides, and upper arm pockets with large velcro
panels for patches and IDs provide extra storage. There are
shaped elbows which are reinforced with 500D CORDURA
and accept moulded / removable elbow pads which are
included.
As with the shirt sleeves the matching OPS Integrated
Battle Pants 3D are made from sturdy 50/50 NYCO Ripstop.
They are a little more expensive, coming in at UK£125.50
but boy, do you get a lot for your money! In terms of
pocketing you get slash front and rear pocket for easy
access, Two besom pockets for small or flat items, two
accessory pockets with cover next to the besom pocket for
multi-tools, pistol mags or flash lights and two large slash
pleated bellows cargo pockets with a velcro flap closure.
Fully shaped knees accept moulded knee pads which
are included, with double sided Velcro and elastic adjusters
that offer more comfort when tightening the knee pads
and increases mobility. There’s also an adjustment strap
for the height of knee pad. The lower leg of the is a single
piece cutting, so there’s only one stitching edge on the
lower leg providing a better fit and more comfort for
the user. Overall these are beautifully featured and put
together and when combined with the Direct Action Shirt
offers a durable and highly dynamic uniform option.

The OPS range includes a great collection of clothing,
equipment and accessories, many of the items at
surprisingly keen prices for the fabrics used and the
obvious attention to detail that goes into the construction
so do go and check out their gear and let HUEYS know that
PMCI sent you!
