Operational Shirt - 5.11 Flex-Tac TDU Long Sleeve Shirt - 72250
5.11 Flex-Tac TDU Ripstop Shirt – Long-Sleeve Tactical Duty Shirt made from Flex-Tac® fabric with DWR coating, ReadyPocket™ pockets, and knee/elbow pad compatibility.
The long-sleeve tactical duty shirt 5.11 Flex-Tac TDU Ripstop Long Sleeve Shirt (#72250) represents the next generation in service and tactical uniforms. Incorporating 5.11 Tactical’s extensive field experience, this shirt upgrades the proven TDU (Tactical Duty Uniform) line by offering unmatched freedom of movement, superior durability, and high functionality that meets the strict demands of law enforcement, military personnel, and security professionals.
The biggest innovation in this shirt is the use of the patented Flex-Tac® mechanical stretch ripstop fabric (78% Polyester / 22% Cotton, 4.8-oz.). This is a mechanically stretching material that naturally flexes with dynamic body movements without the use of elastane (spandex), maintaining its shape and durability for years. In addition, the fabric features a special DWR water-repellent coating (Teflon/DWR finish), providing excellent resistance against stains, dirt, and moisture, keeping the shirt clean and dry even under harsh environmental conditions.
Design-wise, the 5.11 Flex-Tac TDU Shirt is packed with tactical innovations. It features patented concealed ReadyPocket™ chest pockets (left and right) with secure Velcro closure for quick access, along with external patch pockets with side bellows. The shoulders are reinforced with a double-layer back yoke for durability when using load-bearing gear or backpacks, while the elbows feature dedicated internal compartments for protective inserts (elbow pad pockets). The 4-hole melamine buttons are concealed behind the central placket to prevent snagging on equipment, while the product includes a complete kit with epaulettes and a badge tab for official duty use.

Tactical Corner Tip for the 5.11 Flex-Tac TDU Ripstop Shirt
The 5.11 Flex-Tac TDU (#72250) shirt is primarily designed to be worn tucked in, which is why it features a straight hem to help it stay securely in place. If you work with a radio, use the internal Mic Pass-Through channels. They allow you to route the microphone cable internally beneath the shirt and expose only the microphone head at the collar or shoulder. This protects the cable from being pulled or snagged during physical confrontations or movement through dense vegetation. Washing Tip: To preserve the DWR water-repellent coating for as many years as possible, always wash the shirt inside out at low temperatures (30°C-40°C), and strictly avoid using fabric softener or bleach, as these chemicals break down the Flex-Tac protective finish.
