ORIGINALITY STARTS WITH A PURPOSE

The conditions we test our materials in are constantly evolving. When we discovered there was nothing out there that would satisfy the requirements we had in mind, the solution was obvious…come up with our own. Combining durability, range of motion, and longevity, we now have three new fabrics you simply won’t find anywhere but 5.11. We don’t reinvent old standards, we create new ones.
