Still cleaning up after Eotac closing down

It’s been almost a year since Eotac closed down and because people are still seeing re-runs of the Outdoor channel and competition shooters wearing clothing with the Eotac name, people are looking them up and only finding us.  We thought it would be a good idea to direct our customers or those interested in the Eotac line to check out the Woolrich Elite Series product line.  It should be no secret to those in the business that the Founder and many of the investors with Eotac were original with Woolrich Elite and the product lines were very Similiar.

Here is a break down of the tactical pants and how they compare.  If you are looking for the Eotac 203 lightweight pants and can’t find your size, see the Woolrich Elite Series lightweight tactical pants Style 44441 pants and you will see how close they are.  The fit on the Woolrich Elite pants is somewhat loser compared to Eotac.   The Eotac Style 201 pants are similar to the Woolrich Elite Style 44447 pants and the Eotac Style 202 pants are almost identical to the Woolrich Elite Style 44429 pants.  Unfortunately there is no comparison to the Eotac 205 denim pants, Woolrich did have a Style 4909 pant years ago but they have been discontinued.  Check out the Woolrich Elite Chino pants for CCW non-tactical pants.

Get in on the deal before our prices go up

Some of our products are at discounts below cost because it’s not worth it for us to move our inventory and spend time and energy doing it.   We have several lines of apparel at discounted prices and one of them is the Blackhawk lightweight tactical pants.  These were some of our best selling lightweight pants last year and we will be stock them again at a later date, but in the mean time you can get them for $34.99 for only a few more days.  All tactical pants sales are for pants that we already have in stock.   The Blackhawk tactical pants are a 65/35 poly cotton rip stop material and very good for outdoor use.

There is definitely a debate out there about which style of tactical pants is better, but that’s not our decision to make it’s yours.   The Woolrich and Eotac pants were the lightwest tactical pants but some of our customers did not like having to iron them.   100% cotton ripstop is a great thing for really hot weather but for those that have to worry about the looks, they are more work if you want to make them look right.   5.11 tactical pants, Tru spec and Blackhawk all have a very similar look and feel to them but the differences in pocket designs is considerable.  I would say that the Tru Spec have a better fit but they do not have a gusseted crotch.
