Woolrich has a line of 5.11 clothes, but I bet they ain't made in Duluth.www.woolrichelite.com/
Apparently the cuffs have a built in dry ice machine for fog creation, instant concealment.... www.woolrichelite.com/Index.htm |

I noticed that a lot of people knock Blackhawk for not being made in the US, but many gear companies make gear overseas.
5.11 is just another in a long line. Av. |

The rise is too low in the pants anyway (unless you're wearing a harness and don't want bunched up pant-crotch caught in the harness...which is because they are just Royal Robbins climbing pants re-marketed to tactical dudes).
I have a couple pair (one RR, one 5.11) but screw it...I like Carharts better anyway. Their other gear isn't that special near as I can tell. |

They're not all that popular here (especially the shirts), but that is what the admin has decided we will all wear.
I don't like the "bi-wing" feature of the shirt. It is basically a pleat on the back of your shoulder that is supposed to increase your range of motion. It does that well, but once it "puffs out" it stays that way. You have these cloth bulges sticking out of your shoulder blades for the rest of the day. |

I used to bag on 5.11 for being tactical gucci gear, when you can get propper bdu pants for less-but the elastic waist band works a lot better with an iwb holster than bdu pants buckles, they have reinforced tacs at the pockets to a folding knife does not wear there (I have ruined jeans that way), although I think the rear pockets look goofy for everyday wear, they are good for stuff mags into and the surefire pocket on the leg is a good idea. I wish they would throw in the towel on the chalk bag strap, but I guess it is kept for marketing or trademark reasons. I have read complaints about the newer stuff not being the same quality, but don't know if that's true. |

Are you talking about the uniform clothes or the tactical line? |

They modified the pants for our dept order. The ones we are getting have normal pockets on the rear, and no strap. I like the pants, except for the fabric. It is somesort of nylon that makes noise when you walk. Other than that I like them better than our old pants.

That would be a great design. Sounds like you got the nylon pants, I don't have any of those. The regular tactial pants have been much warmer for winter wear than I expected. I stupidly ended up with a bunch of the polyester uniform pants when Sportsmans Guide had them on sale dirt cheap. I didn't understand what they were. I liked the normal rear pockets, but they are kind of weird looking, they have a real strong crease in them and have sap pockets in the back of the leg that look weird, plus they are pretty lightweight, far too thing to wear this time of year in NY without thick long johns underneath. They do have a hidden pocket in the right front pocket and you can stick the little velcro holsters for small guns, mags, etc in the side leg pockets, but it's pretty annoying to have a surefire or small pistol in that pocket so I have never bothered with it. |

Hey man, it's not just for chalkbags...it's also for carabiners/quickdraws.  I have one pair of Royal Robins Half-Dome pants and one pair of 5.11 tactical pants (they are the same pattern pants). IMO the Royal Robins are slightly better. The material is both nicer and tougher and I believe the construction quality is superior. The differences are very subtle but I think they are real. I still wear them, don't get me wrong. I just really like Carharts. The canvass single-knee dungarees are awesome. |

RIGHT! It's due to part being their accent, and part being big American GI in her mouth

Funnier still is the lack of a sense of humor by some people. If bought into my own stereotype joke I would have said "raff rong time". Lighten up, Francis. |
