Built to live under armour

The 5.11 Tactical Rapid Assault Shirt is a purpose-made combat top for wear with a plate carrier or load-bearing vest. Its fitted body and flat-lock seams sit smoothly against the skin to reduce chafing where armour presses, while the moisture-wicking fabric keeps you dry through hard graft.

Stays cool when it counts

Mesh ventilated side panels in four-way stretch fabric open up airflow across the ribs and flanks, the areas a carrier covers most. Combined with a lightweight, fast-drying knit body, the Rapid Assault Shirt stays comfortable even in warmer climates and during high-output work.

Freedom of movement and durability

Saddle shoulder construction gives you a full range of motion for shouldering a weapon, climbing or reaching, and articulated elbows are reinforced to take wear. The body blends cotton, polyester and spandex for stretch and comfort, while poly-cotton ripstop sleeves add toughness.

Carry and customise

A storage pocket on each sleeve keeps small essentials within reach, and loop patch panels let you display flashes, flags and unit insignia. The quarter-zip front and adaptable collar let you dial in ventilation and coverage. In classic black size Large, it is a strong choice for airsoft, range days and uniform use.

Frequently asked questions

Is this shirt meant to be worn under a plate carrier?

Yes. That is exactly what it is designed for. The flat-lock seams reduce chafing under body armour, and the fitted, moisture-wicking body keeps you comfortable beneath a vest or plate carrier.

Will it keep me cool in warmer weather?

The four-way stretch mesh side panels ventilate the areas that trap the most heat, and the lightweight body fabric wicks perspiration and dries quickly, so it stays comfortable even in warmer climates.

Where can I attach patches and insignia?

The shirt has loop patch panels for flashes, flags and insignia, plus a storage pocket on each sleeve for small essentials you want close to hand.

What size is this listing?

This listing is size Large in black. The Rapid Assault Shirt has a fitted athletic cut designed to sit close under armour, so if you prefer a looser fit consider sizing up.

Can I wear the collar different ways?

Yes. The versatile collar can be worn up for neck protection under a carrier or folded down for a lower-profile look, and the quarter-zip front lets you adjust ventilation.
