Description

The original tactical shirt that set the worldwide standard, the 5.11 Tactical Men's Short Sleeve Tactical Shirt is a proven multi-purpose tactical shirt for operators, law enforcement, security, and outdoor professionals. Worn across a broad range of tactical disciplines, this short-sleeve cotton tactical shirt combines field-tested resilience with low-profile styling that doesn't read as overtly tactical. Constructed from tough, breathable 5.4 oz 100% cotton canvas with triple-stitch construction and 26 individual bartack reinforcements, it's built to handle daily duty wear, training, and field operations year after year.

The integrated cape-back Drillex® cooling system pairs with moisture-wicking technology to keep you dry through long shifts and Australian summer conditions - critical when extended wear meets serious heat. The patented 5.11 Hidden Document Pockets provide quick access to concealed gear, documents, or essentials, while a left sleeve pen pocket keeps writing instruments accessible without breaking line. A hidden button-down collar maintains a sharp profile under a vest or duty kit, and heat-resistant melamine buttons won't burn, crack, or melt - small details that matter on the job.
