RCMP officers on frontline police duties wear grey shirts with RCMP shoulder flashes, navy blue pants with gold trouser piping, [[bulletproof vests]], and a [[peaked cap]] with a solid gold band. High-ranking officers wear white shirts. A tie can be worn with a long-sleeved shirt for occasions such as testifying in court. In colder weather, members may wear heavier boots, winter coats, wool toques, or uniquely, muskrat fur caps.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://rejinces.net/2014/10/14/rcmp-and-the-muskrat-hat/|title=RCMP and the Muskrat Hat|publisher=REJINCES|access-date=August 12, 2022}}</ref>
