5.11 Tactical has introduced the Bike Patrol Polo and Short, which was designed by bike patrol officers across the country. The company worked closely with these officers to incorporate the features and benefits officers need while on patrol.
The 5.11 Bike Patrol Polo was developed to accommodate an officer while on a bike, with an athletic fit and a longer back drop tail so the shirt stays tucked in. Reflective tape on the arms, front chest and back aids in safety and visibility.
The fabric has been developed to retain color after exposure to light and perspiration, as well as including an anti-microbial treatment and wicking. Additional features include chest pen pockets, an underarm gusset for added range of motion and a mic loop at the center front placket. The polo ranges in size from XS to 3XL, and retails for $49.99 and up.
5.11 also worked to engineer a material that offers maximum performance and comfort for their new Bike Patrol Short. Constructed of nylon and elastane fibers, the fabric is ultra lightweight, breathable and quick drying. The synthetic fibers provide fade and wrinkle resistance for a clean professional look.
Roomy cargo pockets with an internal pocket provide maximum storage capability. Dual rear pockets have zip closure for security. A running crotch gusset and elastic, action waistband provide comfort and ease of movement. A non-slip waistband helps keep the 5.11 Bike Patrol Polo neatly tucked. The short ranges in sizes from 28 to 44, and retails for $59.99 and up.
