Sizing & Fit

Most apparel and soft goods we sell follow standard EU sizing. If you normally wear Medium, you’ll almost always be Medium here. If a specific brand runs big or small, we’ll call it out on that product page.

General size guide (unisex fit)

Small (S): Chest ~88–96 cm / Waist ~76–84 cm

Medium (M): Chest ~96–104 cm / Waist ~84–92 cm

Large (L): Chest ~104–112 cm / Waist ~92–100 cm

X-Large (XL): Chest ~112–120 cm / Waist ~100–108 cm

2X-Large (2XL): Chest ~120–128 cm / Waist ~108–116 cm

Use this as a baseline for jackets, combat shirts, midlayers, and pants. For mission-cut gear (stretch panels, armor-compatible shoulders, etc.), the goal is mobility without loose fabric flapping around or snagging.

Plate carriers

We only sell plate carriers in size Medium.

Reason: Medium is the correct armor footprint for the vast majority of users. Large carriers are physically bigger but plate availability in true Large sizing is limited, and oversized plates reduce mobility instead of adding protection.

Fit on a carrier is not about “shirt size.” It’s about how you wrap it.

Plate bag: always Medium.

Cummerbund: that’s where you choose your size.

Pick the cummerbund size that actually closes you snug, without overextending elastic and without gaps. That gives you proper stability, cable management, and the ability to breathe under load.

If you’re between sizes on clothing, go with what you normally wear. If you’re between sizes on a cummerbund, go tighter — armor should not drift.

Care

Gear Care (Read This Before You Wreck It)

Always follow the manufacturer’s care instructions first. That’s the rule.

In general:

Soft goods (clothing, slings, pouches, etc.) are usually machine-washable at 30°C and air dry only — unless the label or product page says otherwise. No tumble dryer, no bleach, no “it’ll probably be fine.”
Hard goods (plates, helmets, tools, lights, etc.) should not be thrown in a washer. Wipe them down with water or a mild cleaner and let them dry naturally. No solvents, no high heat, no dishwasher experiments.

If you use cleaning methods that are not recommended by the manufacturer and something fails because of that, it’s not covered by warranty.

Treat your kit like it’s going back out tomorrow.

Shipping & Returns

We move fast.

For in-stock items, handling time is 0–1 business days and we hand your order to the carrier right away. Shipping speed and price depend on what you pick at checkout (Posti for standard/economy in Finland & EU, FedEx for faster domestic, EU/EEA, and international delivery).

If something is shown as out of stock but still purchasable, that means it’s on back-order / special-order. Estimated dispatch for those items is usually 5–30 days. High-end products like night vision devices and thermal optics are most often “made to order,” meaning we source them individually per customer request.

If your cart has both in-stock gear and made-to-order gear, we may ship what’s ready first so you don’t have to wait.

You’ll get a tracking code as soon as your parcel is handed to Posti or FedEx.
