The Cross Over Appeal of 5.11 Tactical

511 Tactical is one of the fastest growing companies in durable and professional looking uniform pants, shirts and accessories.  5.11, Inc. constructs top quality merchandise that increases the protection, precision, swiftness and overall operation of law enforcement, military, EMS/EMT and firefighting professionals and sells these products under the registered trademarks: 5.11 Tactical®. 5.11, Tactical Series®, and other marks.

Over the past five years, 511 Tactical has built a reputation of selling quality clothing for the uniformed community. According to their website, 5 11 was “built on a foundation of durability, quality and value, 5.11, Inc. leads the industry in delivering functionally innovative gear, head to toe.” The company was ranked #211 on the 2007 Inc. 500 — Inc. magazine’s annual ranking, by revenue growth, of privately-held, independent, U.S.-based companies.

The company is realizing further success these days, as the relatively small community of customers buying the clothing as uniforms began to spread the word of 511 Tactical Wear’s comfortable functionality along with the clothing’s ability to look professional after long wear. 5.11 Tactical® Pants with the trademarked tactical strap and slash pocket design were originally developed for rock climbing. “5.11″ is a rock climbing difficulty level as listed in the Yosemite Decimal System. With skill levels ranging from 5.0 (easy) to 5.10 (difficult), 5.11 is even more grueling. 5.11 is officially defined as, “After thorough inspection, you conclude this move is obviously impossible; however, occasionally someone actually accomplishes it.” 5 11 Tactical has done it. They have created a clothing line that fulfilled a need in the men’s clothing market… mastering the combination of ultimate utility, extreme comfort, and no-hassle professional style.

Customers have notably responded to the 511 Tactical company’s insistence on incorporating the feedback they receive from their customers. They sought out improvements with the help of their customers and it has paid off, earning 5 11 Tactical Company monetary profits, but also a reputation of providing a professional uniform pant, shirt, or short, that’s unique pockets and styles make them perfect for casual and everyday wear as well.. Many people on their website comment about the quality of customer service, and changes they have noticed but the most profitable move they have made was in offering superior products. Satisfied customers comment most often on the Tactical Pants, Tactical Shirts and Shorts.  More than handy working a beat of a sixteen hour shift, people consider their functionality perfect for wearing them working in the yard, on the street, and out with the wife. They are very functional for summer time activities with plenty of pockets for whatever your specific needs are such as sunscreen, water bottles, bug juice, kid’s snacks, camera lenses, etc… They have built a rock solid reputation of lasting year after year. Styles and uses may vary but the quality is across the board. Price, fit, and knowing that you can pick up a 5.11 Tactical item and know it is going to last a long time and take the punishment, and at the end of the shift it still looks great.
