As much as I like the size and organization of the 5.11 RUSH 24 there are times that I prefer a pack that is less tactical in appearance, for those times one of my go-to packs is the 5.11 Covert 18. The Covert 18 is slightly smaller at 30 liters compared to the RUSH 24’s 37 […]
Usually, there are a few items that are part of my EDC and my operational loadout. For instance, my Sig Sauer P320 in .45 and most recently the 5.11 Rapid L1 have made their way into my EDC and my operational loadout. I like to use the K.I.S.S. system with gear because if you don’t […]
Over the years I have owned and used many packs for travel, EDC, work, and outdoors activities. My most recent use for packs over the past few years has been for business/ personal travel usually by air and EDC of work-related items for remote work sites. I had previously had a 5.11 RUSH 24 pack […]
Comfortable and functional, everything I want in a shirt. The Artillery Long Sleeve Polo from 5.11 Tactical takes first place among my 5.11 apparel. This piece of clothing is simple yet exceptional.

From 5.11~ “Sleek, tapered lines and unbeatable comfort make the Women’s Defender-Flex slim-fit jean a great choice. Pair any wash with a blouse, jacket and boots for a smart business casual or weekend […]
I am a collector of many things, as a police officer flashlights are one of those “things”. There is no worse circumstance than to be clearing an objective, or your home with a suspected intruder and your light go out. I have seen it happen and the resulting “Oh shit” moment that strikes the user. […]
Not every mission-set requires the operator to be fully kitted-up in tactical gear. Sometimes, a more delicate touch is needed. A Low-Vis operation that requires personnel to blend into an urban environment. Or a Low-Vis security detail that doesn’t want to draw attention to the principal. For these missions, the choice of footwear might be […]
This is the time of year when we see many companies offering end-of-summer sales for their summer products in order to make room for their fall and winter lines of apparel and products.
