More About Uniforms
Fire and EMS uniforms developed with firefighter input, from NFPA 1975 certified Company station wear to PDU and TDU duty shirts and the EMS Pant.
Fire and EMS Uniforms for the Station and the Shift
A uniform answers two jobs at once. It has to look sharp for the public, the brass, and dress duties, and it has to hold up to a shift that runs on no fixed schedule. 5.11 builds its fire and EMS uniforms with input from firefighters, so the cut, the pockets, and the fabric answer what the work asks. The result is a collection that spans certified station wear, duty shirts built for movement under a carrier, and EMS-specific pants.
The lineup covers a few distinct needs. The Company line is the certified station wear: the Company Shirt and Company Pant 2.0 are certified to NFPA 1975, built from cotton twill and stitched throughout with heat-resistant Firefly thread, with heat-resistant melamine buttons that will not melt, burn, or crack. The Stryke PDU Rapid and Flex-Tac TDU duty shirts handle daily field and patrol work, with mechanical-stretch fabric, permanent creasing, and radio and badge details that read professional under a vest. The EMS Pant carries the gear a call demands across its specialized pockets. A cold-weather PDU top rounds out the range for winter shifts. Most pieces come in men’s and women’s fits and accept embroidery for a department.

Best Fire & EMS Uniforms for…
Station Wear with Certification
The best pieces for certified station wear are the Company Shirt and Company Pant 2.0, both certified to NFPA 1975. The cotton twill is stitched throughout with heat-resistant Firefly thread, the melamine buttons will not melt, burn, or crack, and the pant adds a self-adjusting waistband with gripper tape and a YKK Nomex zipper. When the standard calls for certified station wear, this is the pairing.
Daily Duty and Patrol
The best shirts for daily duty are the Stryke PDU Rapid and Flex-Tac TDU builds. The Stryke PDU pairs a mechanical-stretch twill upper with a knit lower body for comfort under an outer carrier, with a camera and radio loop, pass-through wire access, and a badge tab. The Flex-Tac TDU adds ReadyPockets at both chests and a mic cord pass-through. Both hold a permanent crease through a shift.
EMS and Patient Care
The best pant for EMS work is the EMS Pant. Built in a polyester-cotton twill or Taclite ripstop with a dirt and water-resistant finish, it carries specialized cargo, calf, and scissor pockets for the gear a call demands. The self-adjusting waist and gusseted construction move with you, and the reinforced knees accept kneepads for scene work. It is cut for the realities of patient care.
Cold-Weather Shifts
The best piece for the cold is the PDU Cold Weather Rapid Long Sleeve Top. It keeps a professional PDU front with epaulettes, a badge tab, and a mic loop, paired with a warm, moisture-wicking build and a quarter-zip front. The women’s version adds an 8K/5K waterproof, breathable upper with grid fleece to conserve heat. It layers for winter work without bulk.
