Ripstop Cargo Uniform Trousers for Police, Security and Military Duty

Key Features

Elastic panels inside the tunnel waistband expand and recover with movement, keeping the fit consistent on and off a duty belt.

A hidden internal pocket at each knee takes 5.11 knee pads for search, arrest and floor-level work.

A durable water repellent finish makes rain, spills and dirt bead off the ripstop so the uniform stays presentable.

Straps at the hem cinch the trouser over boots for a clean uniform line and to keep debris out.

A second layer at the seat, triple stitching and bartacks at stress points keep the TDU in service for years of hard use.

Genuine YKK zips and Prym snaps that stay fastened under strain and outlast generic hardware.

The 5.11 TDU Trousers are the brand's long-serving tactical duty uniform trouser, refined over many years with feedback from serving officers. A lightweight polyester-cotton ripstop resists tearing and abrasion, and a durable water repellent finish helps liquids, dirt and stains bead off rather than soak in. The relaxed fit and self-adjusting tunnel waistband give room to move and stay comfortable whether standing at a cordon or climbing in and out of a vehicle.

Construction is heavy duty throughout, with a double-reinforced seat, triple stitching and bartacks at every major stress point. Cargo pockets include internal divided compartments for magazines or equipment, the rear pockets are secured, and a hidden internal pocket at each knee accepts knee pads. Blousing straps keep the hem tidy over boots, and the trousers are compatible with the 5.11 TacTec System. YKK zips and Prym snaps are used throughout.
