| After the FBI National Academy began issuing the 5.11 Tactical Pant
for training, the agency asked 5.11 Tactical to create a tactical vest.
The vest had to be long enough to conceal a weapon, plus have the
functionality to organize and carry plenty of gear. 5.11 Tactical
listened to their needs and came up with the original 5.11 Tactical
Vest. It delivers all the Academy asked for and is one of our
best-sellers. Durability
The 5.11 Tactical Vest is constructed
of double-layer, 8.5-oz. 100% cotton canvas for enhanced abrasion
protection. It has a reinforced half-collar, an ID tab on the left
chest, quad-stitching throughout and 55 bartacks in high-stress areas.
Sturdy hardware includes genuine YKK™ zippers, quality Prym™ snaps and
a convenient D-ring.
Innovation
On the outside, the vest resembles a
photographer’s vest, but that’s where the similarities end. The 5.11
Tactical Vest holds an ample amount of gear and is long enough to both
inconspicuously cover your belt-holstered firearm and conceal a weapon
at the waist.
Storage
Only the 5.11 Tactical Vest features 18
specialized pockets, including chest pockets, two rifle or pistol
magazine pockets, a 360˚ pocket that wraps around the entire vest
interior, and rear water bottle or binocular pockets. There are places
for your handgun, flashlight, radio, duty knife, maps, pens, important
papers, snacks, cell phone, sunglasses and more. We’ve even included a
key hook so you can locate your keys!
Versatility
Because the 5.11 Tactical Vest is compatible with 5.11’s Back-Up Belt System®, you can easily attach several BBS pouches which
hold cuffs, holster, baton, mace or mags – to the vest interior. With
the ambidextrous Back-Up Belt System®, you can comfortably distribute
and balance your gear.
Functionality
For work, play and travel, count
on the practical and proven 5.11 Tactical Vest for maximum
functionality, comfort, value and innovation. There’s no need to carry
separate gear bags. You can load up your vest, then wear as needed with
the 5.11 Professional Polo or 5.11 Covert Casual Shirt and 5.11 Tactical Pant.
Built to last, the versatile 5.11 Tactical Vest is one of the most
practical, well-designed concealment garments in the industry. |
