5.11

5.11 Tactical is an American apparel and gear company that creates purpose-built products for professionals in law enforcement, fire, EMS, military, and tactical operations, as well as outdoor enthusiasts. The company traces its roots to Yosemite in 1979, where the original 5.11 pants were developed for rock climbers seeking durable outdoor wear. The pants eventually caught the attention of the FBI, which adopted them as standard issue for its National Academy in 1977, marking the beginning of the brand's strong connection to tactical professionals.

Today, 5.11 Tactical has grown into a global leader in developing and manufacturing gear meant to withstand the toughest conditions. The company operates retail stores across the United States, with over 122 locations, and serves customers worldwide through its e-commerce platform. 5.11 is headquartered in Irvine, California, and continues to innovate with performance-driven apparel, footwear, bags, and tactical accessories designed for those who challenge what is possible. The brand is built on a foundation of durability, versatility, and reliability, empowering individuals to push boundaries in demanding missions and everyday adventures.
