Another word about the Eotac Field Jacket
We’ve done several Law Enforcement or Military Conventions in recent months and we got to meet some of our customers up front. One of the first things our customers asked us were “when are the black and navy blue pants coming in?”. There have been several tactical clothing companies stepping into the market in the last 5yrs, but only 4 or 5 really seem to have held their ground. I won’t claim that one is the best and everyone sucks because it’s mostly about preference. Some people prefer Glocks over Sigs and for most applications, there really isn’t a difference in durability and reliability.
The same goes for some of the top apparel lines. Proper, 5.11 Tactical, Woolrich Elite and Eotac make a lot of good products, but some do have products that stand out and are unique. I have to admit that I have heard a l ot of complaints from 5.11 tactical customers due to production changes once the company go so big, but this time I’ll just discuss one product. The Eotac Field Jacket looks like the Woolrich Elite Series Algerian Jacket, which in itself, looks like the Original Algerian Jacket. The Eotac Field Jacket, which is known as the Style 502, is the best tactical jacket. Although the Woolrich Elite jacket is well made, it looks like a first generation run compared to the Eotac jacket.
You’ve heard that word before, but this time we actually have something that is tactical, useful, warm and makes concealed carry easier in the winter months. There are plenty of half-zip sweatshirts out there, you see them at Cabela’s or your local outdoor sporting goods store, but all of them make carrying a little more difficult in cold weather. Wearing slightly over-sized T-Shirts make carrying easier, but after putting on more than 2 layers of clothing, carrying IWB or OWB becomes dangerously cumbersome.
