Jackets and outerwear give law enforcement officers a way to protect themselves from adverse weather conditions, carry equipment and stay visible while on duty. We carry a wide selection of jackets from some of the world's most popular law enforcement equipment manufacturers, including Tru-Spec, 511 Tactical and 5ive Star Gear.
Weather-resistant jackets feature different materials and technology depending on the environmental conditions that they are designed to protect against. Waterproof jackets are typically built for light weight and portability. While designed to keep water out, they also have to breathe easily to prevent them from becoming uncomfortable. They often feature strategically-located ventilation areas, mesh linings and advanced technical fabrics to achieve this. Dual layer designs and taped seams are also common, as they protect against water intrusion and wind. Jackets designed for cold weather are typically heavier due to their thick insulation. They range from lightweight fleeces that can be worn under another jacket to heavyweight parkas built to withstand extremely low temperatures. Law enforcement jackets are typically made from durable materials, including ripstop blends and nylon.
Many law enforcement jackets also include features designed specifically to enhance tactical performance. Some designs, such as 5.11 Tactical's popular Double Duty, are cut short to allow easy access to a duty belt. Others feature zippered side-seams or pass-through chest pockets that allow quick access to a concealed waistband or shoulder holster. Bi-swing backs are also popular, as they increase mobility at the shoulder for easier firearm use.
This section also includes some more specialized designs, including high-visibility jackets for traffic control and nighttime operations, fireproof coveralls and camouflage suits.
