Tactical Pants Blowout

Woolrich Elite PantsThe 4904 Cargo pants were originally designed for operators that migth be in the seated position and find it easier to pull a wallet or accessory from an ankle pocket rather than reach into hand pockets.  Try sitting in a car and pull your keys out of your pocket, then try them from your ankle if you had a pocket down there.   We have mostly 4904 OD Green pants at a blowout deal for $25.00 a pair, we do have a few Khaki and Black pants left but not many.

Woolrich Elite pants are one of the highest quality pants on the market.    They don’t shrink like some of the 5.11 pants do and you can feel the difference in the weight even though 5.11 pants usually say they are the same weight.    We have an over stock of the Woolrich Elite Pants which are the same pocket desings as the Style 4429 pants are except they have a lower ankle pocket  on each leg.

Casual wear for concealment

Woolrich Elite ShirtsThe Woolrich Elite tactical polos come in short sleeve and long sleeve styles.   The shoulder pocket design is the same on both versions.   In winter time, everyone will wish they had a decent long sleeve shirt that will be slightly warmer to wear with a nice shoulder pocket that is large enough to hold a notepad or blackberry phone and pen pocket.   Woolrich Elite Shirts are designed for Law Enforcement and firearms instructors and concealement.

Lightweight shirts like the 4450 style shirt and 4445 style shirt are great for summer wear and are the lightest weight Woolrich Elite Shirts for hot climates.  They are designed after the popular Guayabera shirt.    The front lower button is a false button and has a magnet that breaks open easily and closes almost entirely by itself.

Tactical Apparel

Woolrich EliteWoolrich Elite products are some of the most durable tactical apparel pants out there.   Their  tactical pants are long lasting and don’t shrink like some of the 5.11 stuff that so many people have complained about.  5.11 products are interesting, but the tactical pants they have been making are apparently taking a major downturn in the quality control arena.  Woolrich has been in the clothing business for over 100 years and one thing you have to acknowledge is they know how to make clothing.
Woolrich Elite tactical shorts style 4905 have pockets similiar to the 4429 and 4904 styles but a slightly smaller cargo pocket.   These have a longer inseam than some shorts, 9″ but are very comfortable especially when carrying lots of gear in the pockets.   Some of the lightweight shorts don’t seem to support carrying much weight and are really only good for wearing and not hauling.

Concealment, Comfort and the tactical appeal

Tactical VestsEveryone has there taste and styles in firearms and even some have their preferences in the type of ammunition and bullet weights.   Some operators prefer to dress in black and prefer to look as tactical as possible while others just can’t figure out why they would need a tactical vest in the first place.   Some tactical vests are about as comfortable as strapping on a parachute and not always modernized.

The Eotac Style 101 Tactical vest is probable the most versatile and sensible vests you will get your hands on.   The pockets are designed for modern weapons and gear and that is something you will want to research before you spent $75-$200 for the other styles out there.   Some of the tactical vests made by Sig Tac and 5.11 weren’t designed for Magpuls and that is only something you’ll find out whenever you’re getting serious about the gear you have.   If you are training or using modern Magpul magazines with the magpul, you’ll basically make any older style vest useless if you can’t close the magazine pocket.   The Eotac vest has extended velcro designs that will allow you to easily adapt the flap to standard 30rd AR magazines or Magpuls.

All Season Tactical Vest

Tactical Vests
The Eotac 101 vest comes in Black, Khaki, OD Green, Navy and soon will be available in Lizard Pattern camo.   You will be able to store just about every tool and firearm accessory inside this vests, but you will have to be organized and consistant in using this vest otherwise you’ll end up losing things in it.  This tactical vest is easy to wash and makes a great tactical vest for even the novice gun owner.   If you put enough thought into organizing your gear, this will also become a great range bag since storing extra shooting glasses, ear plugs, targets and batteries is easily done.

Eotac has the Style 101 Tactical Vests which have now been on the market for more than a year.   The Eotac vest is not a cheap immitation of the 5.11 tactical vests that have been out for years.   This vest is a big improvement over the similiarly designed competitors.   There are 4 magazines pouches that can hold 2-30rd mags each instead of the 2 mag pouch and larger mag dump or cargo type pocket other vests have.    These vests are designed for those working in the security and contractor industry and are durable enough for most climates.

Eotac Tactical Vest

Tactical VestsThis style of vest was designed for security contractors that don’t want to wear the heavy chest rigs ect. that standing Army usually wear.  The Eotac field vest style 103 is more of a tactical casual vest that is similiar in design to the Eotac Field Jacket.   The Style 103 Field Vest is also an excellent hunting or outdoor outerwear to securely hold flashlights, magazines, knives, pepper spray, tools, hunting and fishing gear.

Eotac has emerged as one of the most aggressive and inventive tactical apparel competitors in the industry.   The crew behind the Eotac apparel really understand the end users reasons for wearing their clothing and we users are glad they listen.  The Eotac Style 101 Tactical Vests is a soft tactival vest that feels more like coat or lightweight jacket than a tactical vests.   The vest is made of a cotton canvas material that can easily be washed and it comes in, Black, Khaki, Navy and OD Green.   This particular style of vest (you may see some similiar ones from SigTac, 5.11 Tactical and Woolrich) but this one has superior pocket designs.  The magazine velcro is designed to close over a 30rd Magazine with magpuls which the competitors do not.

Hobbies, accessories and reasons

Tactical GearThere area a lot of good upgrades one can do to a firearm, a fighting rifle should be customized to fit an operator.  Advanced Technology makes some quick and easy upgrades for your shotgun or carbine that can give you better grip or balance.  Shotgun shell holders on the buttstock or riding side saddle is a practical tactical upgrade you can do on your remington 870.  The fiberforce stock for the MAK90 is a way to legally get around some firearm bans and are a big step up compared to the stupid thumbhole stocks.    Attach a rifle sling that fits yoru purpose from Blue Force Gear, they come in 1 point, 2 point and 3 point attachements. Minor firearm modifications make need to be done to attache rifle slings, but do some research on various rifle sling configurations to see what works for you.

We’ve all seen the massive accessorizing of firearms in recent years.   Firearms likes SKS rifle and Mini 14s are not immune to the firearm attachements and modifications that have run rampant in the AR15 community.   In my opinion, there are a lot of firearm owners out there that had their Legos taken away from them and they brought that mindset into gun accessorizing and tactical gear stockpiling.    That’s about as harsh as I can be about why people do what they do to their firearms, but some of it is for hobbie reasons, some for practical reasons, and some because people have the obsessive compulsive behavior of needing to spend money.

New Tactical Clothing for women

Eotac ClothingThe Style 702 womens operator grade lightweight pants will be made of the same 100% cotton ripstop material that the men’s pants are made of, the stitching and durability are the same, but the buck stops there, or should we say doe?   The pocket designs are unique to the womens pants and nothing like anything Eotac has out.   The front pockets will easily accomodate pocket holsters, the two additional wallet type pockets can hold ID or even something as large as a pistol magazine. The pant legs are slightly tapered for a better look while still allowing access to an ankle holster or being worn with boots.  These pants will be available in late Winter and will come in Black, Khaki, Navy blue and OD Green.

When some people here that there are tactical pants for women, people think the Hello Kitty pink camo pants are what they’re talking about.   If your girlfriend is wearing something like this it’s  not to offend you or put her down, but the sad reality is there are an awful lot of women out there that are wearing ments pants that were designed for men.    The new evolution of warfare involving non uniformed clothing, the tactical apparel market has been exploding.    The tactical apparel company Eotac which successful infilltrated the market with it’s (mostly applicable to men) apparel is now trying to cut into the market with Eotac clothing for women.

Tactical Pants get Digital

Tactical ClothingEotac pants have been on the market for almost a  year now.   One of the most popular tactical pants is the Style 201 Operator pants.   These pants are hands down one of the most practical tactical pants you can find on the market.  You may even find that these pants are so well designed and comfortable you almost won’t need to wear a tactical vest since the pocket designs will allow you to hold up to six 30rd AR/M16 magazines in the pockets.  These pants are made of 100% cotton rip stop and have a gusseted grotch for extra strength.    It may be funny to read about someone talking about how the crotch on a pair of tactical pants are re-enforced, but if you’re in hot climates, you’ll need lightweight clothing and durability is always an issue for the lightweight stuff.

The Eotac tactical clothing line is marketed for mostly the non-military style clothing, but they recently release the new digital pattern camo pants due to high demand.   These pants are designed similiarly to the original ACU or Army Combat Uniform.    The modern digital pattern gives it a more modern look with a proven useful pant design.    The fit and manueverability of these pants is superior to some of the other lightweight pants out there.   They are so well designed that you won’t notice much of a difference in mobility if you’ve loaded up your mags and are now carrying 180rds of 5.56 in your pants.
