Do you know who Royal Robbins is, and what 5.11 stands for?

I hear that they're no longer called 5.11s.
I'd also be curious about the best place to buy. Have we ever done a GB on these? |

Didn't mean to come off all NY Snotty. It's their "tactical line" that's all I know. They look good and professional thats why I wear 'em |

Hey Wave, it is the internet. I don't take things too seriouslah
 I know I used to see them in Climbing shops, but not sure where you buy them today. Royal Robbins is a famous mountaineer/climber and a 5.11 is a class of rock climbing. a 4 class is hiking and 5 is vertical climbing. 5.11 is a very hard and challenging climb and deals with thin cracks and ledges. They were originally degigned for climbing but I can see their tactical advantage because of the way they were designed. |

I'm not sure where to get them now because I ordered 2 pair back in July and they still are not here yet. Good luck in finding them

I just picked up a pair of shorts.
www.tacticaledge.com/stores.html The manager shoots with us down at the Blackwater IPSC match sometimes. They will give a discount to some , I think you fit. ASK They are close to me so I never buy of the web site. I had to use the search button to find the 5.11 product line . I think we have some site venders that carry the line. There was a group buy not too ong ago 6 8 months ? |

They run pretty true, maybe just a tad big. Just buy the same size you would when buying jeans, as they seem to run pretty close in sizing with Levis as far as waist goes. |

Just came back from Ironworks and man do they stock Royal Robbinns !! They have tons of the stuff , every accessory you can think of.
The RR Rep gave me the new lightweight shirts they have to T&E , he told me that there going to start making lightweight tactical pants which will have the mag/knife pouch on the left side intead of the right side due to customer request. I think thats a great idea , now when your wearing a duty or tac rig you can still utilize the pocket. They are also coming out with a new workout/undershirt like Underarmor , a line of boots , a killer three in one jacket and a series of undercover outerwear.

No longer made by Royal Robbins. I just got 2 pair black off E-Bay for $30.00 each. Looks to be the best price I've found. Most retailers are around the $38-$40 range. That said they only had black, but that was what I was looking for.
North American Public Safety Supply (NAPSS on E-Bay) this week it appears they are running specials on Bates Enforcer Boots. Right now they're at $30. No pics but these are appaarently similar to combat boots with side zips. Haven't received the pants yet so can't make any further comment. No connection other than the E-Bay purchase. |

I bought a pair in 34" x 32" and they were fine in the waist but the legs seemed more like 36" to 38". and too baggy in the legs for me. I had to double check the tag to make sure they said the size I ordered and it was what I ordered. |

My vote goes here. These guys are great to deal with. Bought a couple of shirts from them. Great price, and great service. The place not to buy them. Eliteguns. They screwed me big time. |
