5.11 Tactical Vest

This vest is excellent. It is a good rugged garment that will last through years of rough treatment and even though it is made of a heavy weight cotton I find it still comfortable enough for summer wear in northern America.It is made to conceal a hand gun in two ways; inside the vest itself or it is cut long enough to conceal a belt carried gun and it performs this very well , even with a full size 1911. Although I don't think it was made for this, it it also conceals a shoulder rig quite well. The vest is very handy for competitive shooting and a comfy way to ccw around the house or at the range. The only drawback I have found with this vest is it was made to carry a handgun, yet it does not come with a holster. This is however a small discrepancy as one can be purchased from 5.11. And if you do not use handguns, this vest still makes a super fine utility type vest. This vest is number one quality in every way.

This is the vest to get if you have a CCW. It is heavy enough that it will not easily blow up in the wind and it has a lot of pockets for extras that you want to carry. I have only had it a short time but it appears to be very durable and well made.

Bought for IDPA. Serves that purpose well. Maybe a little heavy in +30C temps. More pockets than you can use! Sizing is a little tricky. I would recommend ordering up one size than normal.

I carried this vest on a trip to Alaska. It came in handy carrying essential items needed. It is well made and great for ccw. Highly reccomended. Thanks Cabelas
