The First Tactical V2 Pro Performance Long-Sleeve Shirt is a lightweight base-layer shirt built for law enforcement and tactical operators who wear an external plate carrier or vest. Developed by combining First Tactical's Performance Polo with their V2 shirt design, it features mechanical stretch fabric and a Teflon stain-repellent finish. Available in White, Black, Wolf Grey, and Midnight Blue, in Regular and Tall lengths from XS through 4XL.
Built to Wear Under a Carrier
The First Tactical V2 Pro Performance Long-Sleeve Shirt was designed specifically as a base layer for operators who spend hours under an external carrier or vest. A running gusseted construction under the arm allows a full range of motion without the shirt binding or riding up, a practical difference during extended shifts or active use where a standard shirt would bunch and restrict movement.
Stretch Fabric That Moves With You
V2 Technology Mechanical Stretch gives the shirt consistent give in all directions, reducing fatigue during prolonged wear. The Teflon stain-repellent finish applied to the sleeves and collar helps the shirt resist common field soiling, keeping it presentable longer between washes. This is useful for professionals who may not have an immediate opportunity to change.
A Collar That Stays Put
The no-curl collar with an integrated collar stay keeps the neckline flat and professional throughout a shift. For officers and operators who transition between uniformed and plainclothes contexts, or who simply need a shirt that looks intentional rather than worn, this detail removes a small but persistent annoyance of standard performance shirts.

Who This Is For and Isn't
This shirt suits law enforcement officers, security professionals, and tactical operators who regularly wear an external plate carrier or body armor vest and need a base layer that moves freely, resists staining, and maintains a professional collar. The size range from XS to 4XL in Regular and Tall lengths accommodates a wide range of builds.
This shirt is designed as a base layer worn beneath an external carrier, not as outerwear on its own. It carries no ballistic protection and is not a replacement for body armor or a plate carrier.
Common Questions
What makes this shirt different from a standard performance shirt?
The First Tactical V2 Pro Performance Long-Sleeve Shirt was developed with input from law enforcement and tactical operators specifically for under-carrier wear. The combination of a running gusseted underarm for range of motion, V2 Mechanical Stretch fabric, and a no-curl collar with integrated stay addresses the specific fit and comfort problems that arise when a standard shirt is worn under a plate carrier or vest for an extended period.
Does the Teflon finish affect the feel of the shirt?
The Teflon stain-repellent finish on the First Tactical V2 Pro Performance Long-Sleeve Shirt is applied to the sleeves and collar, the areas most exposed when worn under a carrier. The V2 Mechanical Stretch construction is the primary comfort feature; the vendor data does not describe the finish as altering the stretch or hand-feel of the fabric.
Is a Tall length available, and which size and color combinations offer it?
Yes. The First Tactical V2 Pro Performance Long-Sleeve Shirt is available in a Tall length in select size and color combinations. Black is available in Large Tall and confirmed additional Tall variants; Midnight Blue includes 4XL Tall. Check the size selector for the current Tall availability in your preferred color, as not every size-color combination is offered in Tall.
Does this shirt provide any ballistic or stab protection?
No. The First Tactical V2 Pro Performance Long-Sleeve Shirt is a base-layer garment with no ballistic, stab, or slash protection of any kind. It is designed to be worn beneath a separate external carrier or body armor vest, not as a protective layer itself.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise
When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.
1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry
Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.
We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.
2. Best price, guaranteed
If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.
Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.
3. Free fitment consultation
Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.
4. Trusted by thousands of customers
Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.

- The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.

- The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
