511 Tactical Footwear, Brand Names and Picking the best
One thing about our product line is that we never get caught up with “this brand is better than another” so much of the tactical clothing and tactical gear world is getting what you paid for. When it comes to comfort, it’s up to our customer to determine what works best for them. Here in the Pennsylvania area we get all 4 Seasons, Summer, Winter, Fall and Spring so you need to switch up your clothing at some point. This year was particularly harsh as far as winter goes and we added a few things to our “winter clothing” category and expecting our 5.11 Socks to include the heavier winter items. 5.11 Tactical is a monster of a company and and is hands down the best known product line and basically because they started it all. There are a lot of Pros and Cons of every product we sell and we often pick the best products from 5.11 and leave the flashlights and Novelty stuff to the big 5.11 showcase dealers but there are plenty of 5.11 backpacks and gear that has a strong grip of the Emergency Management and Law Enforcement Market.
Like shorts and pants, footwear needs to change up with the seasons and we’ve had a lot of people come in here asking us to carry some of the Taclite gear in the 5.11 Tactical product line and recently expanded the 511 Tactical Boots in our product line. We hear a lot of the same stories from brand to brand like ” I don’t like those boots, they fall apart on me” or “they just weren’t comfortable.” Comfort is your decision and if you have the same problems with a certain boot style or brand, consider spending more money if you want years of durability. So much of this can depend on what your work and footwear stress levels are, but here are some of the new products we are carrying online and in our Pennsylvania Tactical Store.
