Frequently asked questions
We get a lot of customers asking us about the new Eotac line of clothing. It’s no secret that the people behind Eotac were originally behind Woolrich Elite Series tactical clothing. Many of the products that first came out were very close to the Woolrich Elite products that have been out for several years and were also variations of what 5.11 Tactical has been selling. There are some differences that you will notices as soon as you put on the clothes and recently I had a phone conversation with a customer that mentioned he needed something that gave him more mobility that 5.11 pants.
Eotac is backed by the Corporation that owns Bushmaster, Remington, DPMS, Marlin Firearms as well as many other companies. This puts Eotac into some serious competition with 5.11 products just based on who is backing them up. According to our customers, many of the Eotac pants have pocket desings that are better thought out. The Warranty on Eotac apparel basically guarantees quality and they’ll send you a new pair out if there is a defect. Put that up against 5.11 Tactical deteriorating quality control and reputation and you’ll appreciate spending money on tactical shirts, tactical pants and other apparel that has insurance on the money you spent.
I have to admit it, I am a Mini 14 enthusiast. The Mini 14 has served me well and I always respected and understood the design limitations. The more I involve myself with the shooting world, the more I just sit back and observe gun owners and watch their skills with the firearms they choose to use. Gunboard squabble will never end when it comes to one gun over the other, but there is nothing wrong with modifying a less expensive semi-auto gun and using it as a defensive weapon.
