As a former Police Officer and still working in an enforcement role this undergarment is a must and recommended for field use. I have now used it in cold and very hot conditions and worn a standard cotton undergarment to compare. This product is great. I would suggest one shift use only and allow to dry on an airing rack. I wash it with uniform shirts and use a fabric conditioner. No odour problems or retention int he garment.

Excellent product. Keeps me cool while I am on watch; I only wish they made this in navy blue so I can wear it all the time in my navy camo uniform. (NWUs)

Excellent Comfort for an Average Price!
By Fitzy
from Ocala, FL.
I wear the tight S/S Crew shirt under my bullet resistant vest during my 12+ hours shifts in Florida and it performs better than I expected. Being that I work in the Florida heat, I sweat a lot, especially under my vest. Cotton shirts stretch out and retain sweat moisture, Nylon and Polyester shirts stick to your skin and irritate the skin that is covered by the vest; the 80% Polyester and 20% spandex has none of the negative effects of other undershirts. You will sweat under any shirt and bullet resistant vest combination, but with the 80%-20% mixture you will still be comfortable even during your sweatiest of shifts. The collars are also crisp and do not stretch out or fade in color over time. Other undershirts I have tried typically would bunch up under my vest while it moved but I do not have this problems with the 5.11 brand tight shirts. The length of the sleeves and the bottom of the shirt also add to the functionality of any movement you may be required to do while working.

Best clothing ever designed

The whole line of 5.11 underwear including shirts, socks and boxers make the job so much more enjoyable. I feel so much better at the end of my shift.
