Ghillie and the Suit

September 6, 2013 by Eric Davis 12 Comments

511 Overwatch
Author Eric Davis developing urban sniper techniques

Last week I had the opportunity to visit with Dave Rhoden at 511 Tactical Gear. He sat me down in their conference room, pulled out a pen and with a look of intensity asked, “What do you need?”.

I went on to tell him about how relevant the tactics, principles, and gear were to professionals outside of the traditional tactical channels. I explained to him how asymmetrical warfare had thrusted traditional Operators into suits and ties and that the day’s of not blending in were over.

From there I went on to describing a new breed of business professionals. Powered executives thirsty for adventure and serious about protecting their loved ones. In almost what must have sounded like the voice of a desperate man I looked him in the eyes and said “If there was just a tactical gear company that understood this, it would be a game changer”.

Dave looked up at me and said. “You could not have come at a better time”.

Dave stood up and began to walk me around. He showed me what they’ve done and what they’re going to be doing. He introduced me to the 511 team. Each and everyone of them engaged me with the enthusiasm and casual intensity that only comes from those passionate about what they do.

A few days later this showed up at my door. A perfect blend of tactical meeting professional. The 511 Overwatch Carry-on.

Their site said it best: “Playing equal roles as a duffel, shooting platform and garment bag, the Overwatch Carry On delivers on all fronts. Fast business-casual design integrates a duffel bag, shooter’s mat and garment bag into one easy, carry-on size. When versatilty is what the mission calls for, this meets the needs of the quiet professional”.

511 Overwatch Carry-on sniper urbanThis bag does it all.

A duffel, garment, rifle bag and shooters mat in one. If you go to their site you can see more of the detail that they built into it.

Those side flaps have laser-cut micro loop internal web platforms built in. So yes you can attach whatever pouches or accessories you need for shooting.

It’s of course built with gun carry in mind. It’s perfectly sized for a compact assault riffle as well. You’ll just have to leave your blowdryer behind to carry it.

So whether you’re on a business trip and plan on doing some shooting or working in LA to provide overwatch and surveillance this bag has you covered.

Be sure to visit their site and checkout the video they shot about how to deploy the bag.

I look forward to showing you more of their stuff in the very near future. It’s about time someone gets ahead of the curve.
