5.11 Tactical® PDU® Shirt is a professional tactical uniform shirt designed for law enforcement officers, security personnel and other professionals who require a neat uniform appearance combined with the functionality of tactical apparel.

The shirt is made from durable and relatively lightweight TACLITE® Ripstop fabric consisting of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. The material features a DWR finish, while the shirt's design includes underarm ventilation, Bi-Swing shoulders, functional chest pockets, microphone cord routing, epaulettes and attachment points for duty identification.

TACLITE® Ripstop — Durability for Everyday Duty

The main fabric is 4.2 oz TACLITE® Ripstop, made from 65% polyester and 35% cotton. The ripstop construction is designed for intensive use and helps improve the fabric's resistance to mechanical damage.

The polyester and cotton blend creates a practical uniform fabric suitable for extended everyday wear and professional use.

DWR — Enhanced Water Repellency

The fabric features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish that enhances the water-repellent properties of the outer surface.

DWR helps water droplets bead up and roll off the fabric and slows down wetting when exposed to light moisture. However, the DWR treatment does not make the shirt fully waterproof.

Two Chest Pockets

The shirt features two functional chest pockets designed to carry small essential items required during duty.

The pockets include dedicated pen guides, allowing writing instruments to be organized and kept within easy reach.

Center Front Zipper Closure

The shirt features a center front zipper closure. This design allows the uniform shirt to be quickly opened and closed while maintaining the classic appearance of professional duty apparel.

Permanent Creases for a Professional Uniform Appearance

The design features permanent creases that help the shirt maintain clean lines and a professional appearance.

This feature is particularly practical for uniform apparel that is worn regularly on duty and needs to maintain a neat, professional look.

Underarm Ventilation

Underarm vents improve air circulation and help release excess heat.

This increases comfort during extended wear, active movement and work in warm conditions.

Bi-Swing Shoulders — Freedom of Movement

The shoulder area features a Bi-Swing construction that provides additional freedom of movement. The specialized design allows the shirt to better accommodate movement of the arms and shoulders.

This is particularly important for duty apparel when the wearer needs to move actively, drive a vehicle, handle equipment or perform other professional tasks.

Communications Equipment Integration

The side seams feature dedicated openings for microphone cord routing. These allow radio or communications cables to be routed more neatly through the shirt.

This makes the PDU® Shirt practical for law enforcement officers, security personnel and other professionals who regularly use portable radios and communications equipment.

Epaulettes, Badge Tab and Name Badge Support

As a professional uniform shirt, the PDU® includes the necessary features for duty identification. Epaulettes are securely attached at the shoulders, while a badge tab is provided on the chest.

A separate name badge support strip is also included, allowing the shirt to be configured according to the requirements of a specific agency or organization.

Adjustable Cuffs

The cuffs can be adjusted for a more comfortable fit around the wrists. This allows the sleeves to be adapted to the individual wearer and different conditions of use.

Taffeta-Lined Collar Stand

The inner collar stand features a taffeta lining. It helps maintain a neat collar structure while improving comfort in the area that comes into contact with the neck.

Reinforced Construction for Intensive Use

Major seams feature triple-needle stitching, while key stress points are reinforced with additional bartacking.

This reinforcement increases durability during regular professional use and helps reduce the risk of seam failure in high-stress areas.

Melamine Buttons

The shirt uses melamine buttons. According to 5.11 Tactical® specifications, these buttons are designed not to melt, burn or crack under the conditions for which they are intended.
