Backpacks, range bags, and customizing.
I have so many brand names of nylon gear in my house it’s not funny. I don’t even know some of the manufacturers names because they weren’t tagged very well. It seems with the number of sales calls I get every year, there are about as many nylon makers as there are custom kydex holster makers. There are certain things that we just push off to other companies because it’s too time consuming. People are very particular about the type of bag they want and they will know it when they see it, but the problem is they want to hold it in their hands. There are different points of placing molle straps and sometimes a bag has too much and sometimes too little. There are is an endless supply of so called “tactical” backpacks, but unless you have the time to travel, good luck trying to find a store that has evertything.
One of the main reasons we opened up a tactical store was so that our local customers could check stuff out before they purchased it. 5.11 tactical is a monster of a company and they have so many cool products that many of our Police and EMS personnel prefer the 5.11 bags primarly the Rush products. The Rush messenger and Rush 24 and 72 are extremely popular with paramedics and ambulance companies. Some military guys have been buying just about everything that we sell in multicam which makes the 5.11 Rush 72 backpack very popular. We normally stock all of these items in our Broomall, Retail store so stop in and check them out.
