Law Enforcement and Fire personnel face the dangers of exposure to flash fires on a daily basis. 5.11 Tactical Series has responded to this danger with the development of a line of FLASH products designed specifically for flame related environments. Our new FLASH Shirt, modeled after our classic 5.11 Tactical Shirt, is made with our exclusive FR-x3 canvas fabric. Fr-x3 is a revolutionary new fire-retardant fabric exclusive to 5.11 Tactical. This unique material inherits cotton’s natural breathability, comfort and ease of care. Its fire-retardant nature is inherent to the fabric and does not wash or wear out. FR-x3 exceeds minimum standards in NFPA tests for after-flame and no-drip properties according to ASTM D6413. If you are looking for protection from flame in your attire, be sure to use the reliability and quality or our new FLASH Shirt.

FR-x3 canvas and constructed with traditional 5.11 toughness the FLASH Shirt will hold up to any assignment. With two traditional chest pockets and two hidden documents on the smooth front placket, you’ll have quick access to gear and documents. We’ve added pockets on the left forearm sleeve for chem-lights and included two shoulder pockets, which can be sewn onto the shirt to suit your tactical needs if you are wearing an outer vest.

Reviews:
I needed a fire retardent uniform that I could use for both airborne and ground missions. The Flash Shirt and pants were the perfect combination. It gave me the needed protection of a traditional flight coverall and the comfort and flexability of a combat uniform. The extra sleeve pockets worked perfect with our body armor.
Service and delivery comments:
I have been very impressed with 5.11 products from the first pair of pants I bought for use in Iraq. I am intelligence specialist for DoD and a Reserve Sheriff's Deputy. I use 5.11 products for both jobs.
