Did anyone find anything new in the tactical pants realm at Shot Show?

We weren’t able to get out there this year but maybe next year it will be a possibility.   There have been several new shirts marketed towards the concealed carry market from TruSpec and Woolrich Elite.  This is one area where we thing Woolrich Elite Series has really gotten a stronghold on because the patterns and fit is really good.  For some reason no matter what the sizes say on other clothing and what the materials are made out of, the Woolrich products just seem more durable and better designed.

When it comes to tactical clothing, I think there is still a wide open market for more jackets, vests, sweatshirts and concealed carry pants.   There is a company called CCW Breakaways that has an interested design, but it looks at first like a one trip pony.   I’ll be interested to see if there anymore tactical pants that come out anytime soon but now it seems that everyone is thinking about money and not so concerned about who is better than who.   There are always ways around having to spend loads of money on expensive items and sometimes you just have to work with what you’ve got.  If you are that hard up for money, just carry a different gun or get a new holster, forget about $60+ tactical pants.

Wearing the right pants for the job

I recently took a trip for work where I figured that I was better off getting there on time than going back home and getting changed into my Woolrich Elite 44429 pants and then going back to work again.  Every once in awhile I still need to make the novice mistakes of cutting time out of a project and then creating a problem.   Brain farts are coming amonst males and last week was one of them.   There are plenty of times where I want to go out and really am not in the mood for wearing any kind of tactical pants. It’s nice to be able to put on a pair of pants and just go and not have to load up all of the flashlight, guns, magazine holders and knife and just go.

Well, without going into too much detail, I missed not having pants with wide hand pockets and it go really annoying that my flashlight got turned on in my pocket because the other stuff that I had to put in there kept hitting the on switch.   Most good tactical pants will be big enough to fit a j-frame revolver and even if you aren’t carrying a gun in your pocket, that amount of space means keys, flashlights and magazines tend to not fall out of the pockets.  The way the stitching is done, the gear will catch on the pocket lining before and reduce the chances of something falling out.

Tactical Pants for Women

Eotac ClothingEotac is about to launch their first run on their 702 Lightweight tactical pants for women.   For women that work in the security forces or for law enforcement, this will be something to get your hands on.   Many women working in this line of work usually are forced to find men’s tactical clothing that fits them well enough to get through the day.    We’ve heard from a lot of women that wore other tactical women’s pants and the complaints are still coming in.

Elite Operator Tactical or mostly known as Eotac, are an aggressive new tactical apparel company that are backed by the Corporation Cerebus that owns Remington, DPMS, Bushmaster and even Marlin Firearms.   There’s a pretty good chance that Eotac will be the primary competitor to 5.11 Tactical in the coming years.   We are expecting the Style 702 Women’s Operator Grade Lightweight Tactical Pants to be coming in in late March or early April 2010.   These pants went through extensive testing and designing and considering the Men’s line of Eotac clothing, we’re expecting great things from Eotac that are meant for Women in the coming years.
