Introducing 5.11 Tactical

Posted by DS Medical on 18th Sep 2018

5.11 Tactical are innovators and designers of purpose-built gear for the most demanding situations in emergency services, law enforcement and public safety. Their industry leading clothing and equipment is built to deliver durability, quality and value to professionals looking for functionally innovative gear, and is now available from DS Medical. 

Who Are 5.11 Tactical? 

Back in 1992, the 5.11 Pant was adopted by the FBI Training Academy as their training pant of choice. Since then, 5.11 Tactical have continued to forge a relationship with the first responder community that demonstrates a true commitment to public safety. 

The mindset of 5.11 is to Always Be Ready. They understand the unpredictable nature of the world today, especially out in the field, but believe that you can prepare for anything by having the right gear and clothing ready to go. The idea of always being ready isn’t a slogan they’ve come up with for a t-shirt. They live their lives by this code, and all of their gear is designed to not only inspire readiness, but actually prepare professionals for the things they will experience during operational duty on the front-line. 

5.11 Tactical’s designers work closely with public safety professionals to ensure that the gear they create meets the needs of real people in the field. Today, 5.11 clothing and equipment is even expanding into the outdoor and fitness markets thanks to the versatility, adaptability and durability of their gear.
