5.11 Tactical Vest

5.11 TACTICAL VEST DESCRIPTION:

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.
