Did anyone find anything new in the tactical pants realm at Shot Show?
We weren’t able to get out there this year but maybe next year it will be a possibility. There have been several new shirts marketed towards the concealed carry market from TruSpec and Woolrich Elite. This is one area where we thing Woolrich Elite Series has really gotten a stronghold on because the patterns and fit is really good. For some reason no matter what the sizes say on other clothing and what the materials are made out of, the Woolrich products just seem more durable and better designed.
When it comes to tactical clothing, I think there is still a wide open market for more jackets, vests, sweatshirts and concealed carry pants. There is a company called CCW Breakaways that has an interested design, but it looks at first like a one trip pony. I’ll be interested to see if there anymore tactical pants that come out anytime soon but now it seems that everyone is thinking about money and not so concerned about who is better than who. There are always ways around having to spend loads of money on expensive items and sometimes you just have to work with what you’ve got. If you are that hard up for money, just carry a different gun or get a new holster, forget about $60+ tactical pants.
