Good value for money - sizing is inconsistent
There seems to be a lot of dispute in the feedback over whether these come up too big or too small, so I am writing this review to share my opinion on why this might be. I ordered two of those tops, one in the olive green and one in tan. Both where from the same seller, both in XL uk size (China size 3XL). You would therefore expect them to be the same size and fit. However when I looked at them there was a clear difference in size between the two, and they were made slightly different (different zips, slightly different in the fabrics used, inside labels looked different etc). The green / olive top was a good 4 inches different around the chest despite supposedly being the same size as the tan. As you can see in my photos there is about an extra inch each side in the width arm put to arm pit. That’s an extra two inches material total each side, thus 4 inches overall which is quite a big difference. I think this is why people are finding so many differences in how they fit because it seems to depend on what colour you order, and even then the seller maybe using different suppliers from China to fullfil stock levels and thus each supplier is working to slightly different measurements. This doesn’t make it any easier for you the buyer, as it seems to basically be pot luck as to how the sizing will come up despite there universal size chart which is clearly not accurate in all cases. Use it as a guideline only and hope for the best.In terms of how these fit me, I am normally a 42 inch chest in a suit jacket, and I am 5’8” and about 12 and a half stone. The tan top fitted my nicely but was fitting around my body. Not completely skin tight or uncomfortable in any way, but kinda like a slim fit T-shirt. Also the stretchy material in the body keeps it comfortable while moving etc. Arms and body length all good too.The olive top was obviously going to fit a lot looser, and I thought it would look too big, but to be honest I was surprised that it still looked good even being a looser fit. It fitted more like a regular fit uk large T-shirt so wasn’t tight against the body but not so loose it looked too big either. I think the style of these tops with the looser arms provides a certain amount of leniency in fit around the body.So, I decided to keep both, that way I have a slightly looser fitting top and one that is more against the skin depending on my mood and how hot the weather is. I would likely choose the Olive looser fit in hot weather.Arm pit to arm pit I measured the tan at 22” pit to pit. The olive measured 24” pit to pit.I hope this helps, but it does seem that getting an exact size is going to be difficult. That said I am overall very happy with the quality of both tops, no they aren’t top rugged construction which will take loads of abuse, but then you aren’t paying £60+ either. It’s cheap clothing from China so providing you set your expectations based on that and what you are paying then you won’t be disappointed. Cutting off a few loose threads here and there is a two minute job and doesn’t bother me at all, and despite some loose ends the stitching itself is more than adequate. The olive did seem to be made of a slightly thicker fabric in the body and the zip was also better quality, but again who knows if they are all going to be the same. At least amazon have a good returns policy if you really aren’t happy, but I for one am more than pleased with my purchases

Cheap crap. Not worth £5.00 let alone 25.
Rubbish. While the material on the body was quite good, a nice soft clinging type. The arms were the complete opposite, nasty, cheap ass shirt material that would have you dripping in sweat and showing it. Product didn't live up to the pictures and it's the sort off thing you would find on a market stall for £4.99. Never mind £25.Nasty cheap crap.

Great Shirt - Careful With Sizing
Now that I’ve got the sizing right, I’m really pleased with this combat shirt. I ordered a UK Medium equivalent to begin with, as that’s my usual size, but it was too small. Body too tight and the arms far too short. I returned it and went for a label XXL. Perfect fit. Nice stretchy body, good length arms. I’m a 39 inch chest. The arms are a thicker material which is good. I found some patches for the Velcro on the arms which completes the look. Not yet used for an airsoft day, but have worn a fair bit and am really pleased. Take care with the sizing and you’ll get a quality product.

Nice top
Nice top and good quality for price. The collar is a little high but a minor problem really. I followed the advice of others by getting a size bigger but wish I hadn't as it's slightly too loose so I've ordered another. If you like fitted tops then stick with your original size, I'm a large so therefore stick with a large.

Overall very happy with the product
Overall very happy with the product, I am no expert, but in my opinion, is made of very high quality materials. The torso material is made of a very nice feeling, figure hugging material (so beware if you have a big gut) the arms are made of a much more robust and hard wearing fabric and include spaces for elbow pads (sold separately and not included in the item description)I have made a few alterations based on my experiences with it to make it perfect for me-widened the arm holes, as they are fairly tight (if pulled up to the elbow, they are more than adequate if worn at the wrist) i would suggest to buy the short sleeved version if this is your playstyle and you aren't good at sewing.-removed the majority of the velcro on one of the shoulders, leaving only a small amount for the flap to secure to and for a couple of airsoft patches. As the large Velcro patch is a little "rustly".-Completely removed the pocket on the other arm, which just involved dethreading the stitching around the pocket. To add a little more freedom to the shoulder area.Again, not a complaint, just my preference. Still 5 star overall, would happily buy another and do this all over if this one becomes unusable.

Great item for airsoft.
I'm a 38" Chest so i went for the L which has the collar tag size of 2XL and it fits perfectly. I use this for Airsoft and if you want a nice UBACS copy then this is one of the better ones I've seen. The cut and fit is good and you can add elbow pads if you want too. You'll need to check all the stitching before use to make sure its good, and there'll be some loose threads that will need burning off but this is to be expected with these items. Came packaged very well in two inner bags, one of them being a ziplock so no issues there. Good buy for the price.

Effective, but the small things bug me
Its a great top. Light to wear but warm in the chilly weather. However there are no open cuffs, only a velco to close them up abit. This would be fine if the cuffs opened up more to allow my hand to fit through better. Also, the stiching is coming away where the velco pads are. I would be more impressed with this product if these small details were addressed with abit more quality.

Velcro annoying and not required
I really wanted to like these as they are a good fit, comfortable and a nice mix of materials. Problem is there's velcro in the upper part of the arms and every time I put a coat when wearing them the velcro catches the coats velcro. Most annoying as the velcro on the arms surplus and only there for someone wanting to stick a badge on.
