Keep that backpack stuff to a limit, get a good pair of tactical shorts
Something to seriously consider doing this year if you are going on a long camping trip or a hiking trip is to get some good tactical clothing. People should know that much of what you see in the tactical apparel and clothing world actually started with rock climbing gear. When you have to climb up the side of mountains having things hanging off you can cause balance issues and snagging issues. The deep rear pocket designs you see on many 5.11 tactical pants which were later copied by other companies was for rock climbers. Stuff doesn’t fall out of them just because of the way the pockets are designed. Much in the same way that Woolrich Elite and Eotac pants were designed for pocket carry. The guns will more than likely float around the pocket before they find their way out even if you are laying on your back.
I’ve found that a 20 oz bottle of water can easily fit in a pair of Woolrich Elite cargo shorts and even their lightweight versions. If you have to ride a bike you’ll probable have to move the bottle, but it does come in handy to have pockets like this. Many tactical vests are also designed to hold water bottles and it’s nice to be able to wear tactical shorts that were designed for something like this. The Woolrich Elite Series tactical vest style 101 has two pockets in the back that can hold a bottle each. Not only are these Woolrich Elite shorts tactical shorts, they are great for just about any outdoors fun.
We’ve been selling various tactical pants for the last 5yrs and one thing that I still find kind of odd is the whole knee pad insert. When i first started using the knee pad inserts it was with the Woolrich Elite 4447 pants and the knee pads didn’t line up to where my knees were. I later tried them on the Woolrich Elite 4429 pants and they worked on them, but you really only could get use out of them if you kneel on both knees at the same time. That position may work at Church, but on the firing line, when I think of kneeling, it’s on one knee. The knee pad inserts do hold up for a pretty line time, and for only $3 you can replace them for both sides.
It’s time to clear out some space and make room to transition our store into a kick ass Police, Security and Law Enforcement supply place. We just got in a huge inventory of Original Swat tactical boots and the diverse product line of footwear is impressive. We’ve done a few conventions for their products and we know what people want to see. Recently we had several groups from local Swat teams show up and we sent out a bunch of stuff for testing and evaluations. Product feedback is important and we are listening.
