Update on Eotac
It’s now been several weeks since Eotac closed it’s doors in South Carolina and we acquired the last of the tactical pants inventory that they had left. We still have thousands of pairs of lightweight tactical pants, but it’s kind of depressing to see it all going out the door knowing that we may never see these again. We recently read a few responses from those that have worked with Remington and the state of the tactical clothing market, but we still don’t know what caused the demise. Tactical clothing is a preference, but quality has to be there and it is often not.
All of our employees where tactical apparel made by 5.11, Blackhawk, Proper and Woolrich, but we have a 100% response from our own Staff that the Eotac pants had the best pocket designs. I’m still amazed that some can call their clothing tactical and you can’t even fit a j-frame revolver in the tactical pants. I can carry a Sig 239 in my Eotac style 202 pants. We were told that Eotac was shutting it’s doors and that there is a re-evaluation on the product SKU’s which we hope means some remnant of Eotac will emerge. Since Marlin has closed down and been moved, Bushmaster closed down and moved, we hope that Eotac is doing the same. The pants and vests and the Lizard pattern Field Jacket are going to be long missed.
