9in lightweight stretch bike patrol shorts with UPF 50 sun protection

Key Features

Non-slip elastic with a shirt-gripper panel keeps uniform shirts neatly tucked.

Lightweight nylon/elastane stretch moves freely on and off the bike.

UPF 50 fabric helps protect skin during long shifts in the sun.

Fast-drying fabric stays comfortable through hot, sweaty patrols.

An anti-odour treatment keeps the shorts fresher between washes.

Zip-closed rear pockets keep wallets and warrant cards secure while riding.

The 5.11 Patrol Shorts are built specifically for bike patrol officers and public safety professionals who spend long shifts on the move in warm weather. A lightweight nylon and elastane stretch fabric gives full freedom of movement in and out of the saddle, and the fabric dries quickly and resists fading, shrinking and wrinkling.

The action waistband uses non-slip elastic with a shirt-gripper panel to keep a uniform shirt neatly tucked, and adjustable hook-and-loop belt keepers hold a duty belt securely in place. Compartmentalised cargo pockets with secondary storage, zip-closed rear pockets, a running gusset, anti-odour finish and UPF 50 sun protection make these a practical choice for demanding summer duties.

Sizing Instructions

How to Measure
Use your chest, neck, and arm length to find the right size for tops and outerwear. Use your waist measurement — where you actually wear your trousers — for bottoms and belts.

Neck
Measure around the base of your neck, where a collar would sit.

Chest
Measure under your arms and around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

Arm Length
Slightly bend your elbow. Measure from the center back of your neck, over the top of your shoulder, and down to your wrist.

Pant Waist
Measure around your natural waistline — where your trousers actually sit, not necessarily your narrowest point.

Hip
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

Inseam
Measure from the crotch straight down the inside of the leg to your ankle, or to your preferred trouser length.

Measurements are approximate — for the best fit, compare against a similar garment you already own.
