The cross over appeal of the 5.11 Tactical Company stems, in part, to the innovative accessories they’ve produced to assist Law Enforcement and others in the line of duty. Fortunately for the company, as well as consumers, the quality standards and innovative products available through 5.11 Tactical have created lines of accessories that appeal to many people in diverse settings. The products receiving much acclaim include their lines of bags/backpacks, gloves, and flashlights.
A high quality flashlight is a necessity to Police, Firefighters and EMT’s everywhere and they know the qualities needed in a top quality flashlight. 5.11 has developed a system called “Light for Life.” Customers claim, “You will never buy another Maglight or Streamlight again…” Light for Life takes care of the really important features. There are no bulbs to burn out and no batteries to worry about. LEO’s don’t take either of these things lightly, not having to ever worry about conditioning batteries, replacing batteries, or that the batteries will leave you in the dark when you are vulnerable relieves a lot of stress and can save lives. The Light for Life has a great beam pattern, not just a spot, not just a flood, and in 90 seconds you are recharged back to full, this makes the price worth it, all by itself.
Another acclaimed accessory offered by the company is the 511 glove line. They have perfected performance grade gloves, useful in all situations. They have a single-piece palm and fingertip construction, letting an EMT feel a pulse and assess a patient with the gloves on, allows a person to handle documents, or perform perfectly for a rock climber. The gloves are known for their perfect fit and the snug fit makes them easy to wear under a pair of latex gloves, if necessary. Last but not least, their gloves look cool. With different styles and colors, it’s easy to find the perfect pair.
Bags and Backpacks are also a very popular aspect of 5.11 Tactical’s business. They have many styles to choose from suiting everyone’s compact travel storage needs. Despite their differences, the bags do have common denominators. The bags/backpacks are constructed from 5.11’s typical very high-quality materials. The sewing is very detailed and reinforced, and the internal pockets and compartments are well designed. The carry handles on the bags are very comfortable and well designed as well, and some are available with a removable shoulder strap. Use of these bags can range from storage for handguns, aid to carry EMT equipment or as simply waterproof place to carry a change of clothes and toiletries down to a secure place for an iPod. They range in size but all have an amazing amount of storage.
5.11 Tactical is a rapidly growing business, serving Law Enforcement, Firefighters, and Military personnel. The secret of their continued success lies in their ability to appeal to a larger market. Although all of their products are designed with the safety and convenience of public servants in mind, in the process they have created products whose quality and durability appeals to the public at large for various reasons. From yard work, hiking, boating, driving or on-the-job use, the high bar set by the company have filled the void, providing the best possible equipment and accessories.
