CH-47 Chinook

£ 29.00

Popular in the battlefield, the Chinook is both an attack and transport helicopter. Delivering, supplying & protecting troops since the early 1960's for over 15 nations. The CH-47 Chinook is a willing and very able addition to any battle group. I first saw a Chinook when I was working in North Queensland, Australia for a small aviation tour company. An RAAF Chinook landed at our airstrip to refuel and deliver FA-18 Hornet pilots to a training camp on a nearby island. I had the opportunity to look inside the Chinook and although I knew it was big, you really have to be inside one to appreciate its true size. It was very big and very intimidating... nice. The image I have used in my design is of U.S. Army soldiers preparing to hook an M777 Lightweight 155-mm Howitzer to the Chinook during an airlift mission at Forward Operating Base Fenty in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, on Dec. 20, 2007. The howitzer was airlifted to troops in the field. DoD photo by Sgt. Brandon Aird, U.S. Army.

Our t-shirts are unique for being wholly made with CoolMax freshFX. CoolMax is a patented fibre designed to wick perspiration and accelerate moisture evaporation, keeping wearers cooler and drier. This wicking feature of the fabric is made possible by micro channels engineered into the profile of and surface of the fibre. These channels are cleverly dimensioned to exploit the surface tension and capillary action of water. Being physical properties of the fibre, these channels endure and do not significantly diminish with wear or washing.

Antimicrobial (freshFX) treatment stops the propagation of odour producing bacteria. This is achieved by embedding silver salt crystals into the structure of the fibre. FreshFX treatment like the wicking is permanent and does not leach out with everyday use. These characteristics ensure the shirts remain cool, dry and odour free regardless of what you might do in them. Performance of the fabric is guaranteed through a certified and monitored manufacturing process.
