Default FAST compatible shirt
I need a FAST compatible shirt. I don't like the cotton shirts. They hold on to sweat. Any opinions on the carbon X shirt or the 986 shirt? Other options? TIA!

I've never worn Carbon X. How does it feel versus nomex?

Default Cool Shirt
You may want to consider a Cool Shirt Firewear water shirt. The firewear is nomex but very soft. Overall, we do sell more of the cotton versions.

Aren't the connectors incompatible with F.A.S.T?

Cool Shirt will hook up to the FAST hoses, but a FAST shirt will not hook up to the Cool Shirt system.

Correct. But adapters are available!

To the OP, I have a Carbon-X FAST shirt, love it.

There are many plastics on line sites where you can buy all of these fittings cheap and re install new fittings to make any shirt work with any sytstem. Easy peasy.
