News Releases

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SHOT Show® (Booth #13162) -- 5.11 Tactical®, the global innovator in tactical apparel and gear, today announced new products for those who require rugged, purpose-built gear. Available now on www.511tactical.com and through 5.11's retail partners, the latest product release includes:

PANT INNOVATION

Last year, 5.11 saw tremendous success with the release of the APEX and Stryke™ TDU pants, both of which sold out after their introduction. To design both products, 5.11 worked closely with top tier operators to co-create the next evolution of versatile tactical pants. While the APEX is a low-visibility pant with full tactical features, the Stryke TDU is an agile mission-ready pant. 5.11 continues to innovate their product line in 2016 with the release of the Traverse™ Pant 2.0.

Traverse Pant 2.0 – The next iteration of 5.11's lightweight, ultra-flexible pant is constructed of a quick-drying, breathable four-way stretch fabric. Featuring articulated knees and a fully-gusseted inseam and durable water repellent finish, the Traverse 2.0 pant provides a wide range of movement and durability. Ten pockets, including some with zip closure, offer optimal gear management. (Available in Tundra, Khaki, Black and Storm. Retail price: $94.99)

PURPOSE-BUILT PACKS

Havoc 30™ Backpack – Built as an urban version of 5.11's best-selling RUSH™ bag series, the new Havoc 30 is a low profile, lightweight and durable load carry solution. The Havoc is made from highly resilient nylon and incorporates quick access waist belt magazine pockets, zip secured double AR magazine/water bottle pockets and admin pockets providing plenty of storage options. The pack's 1.5" waist belt is removable and holster compatible allowing for end-use customization. It is also fully compatible with 5.11 Tactical Zero-G Plates™. A laser-cut MOLLE platform and padded eyewear pocket provide further customization with 5.11 pouches and added storage capability. (Available in Black, Double Tap, Sandstone and Storm. Retail price: $149.99)

APPAREL DESIGNED FOR WOMEN

Raven Range Tight and Capri – Bringing an innovative and tactical perspective on the popular yoga pant, 5.11 is launching two high-quality pant options for women – the Raven Range Tight and Capri. Constructed from flexible and comfortable "ponte di roma" fabric, both pants have a smooth finish for a sleek look. Additionally, the new Raven Range pant offers a wide elastic waistband, belt loops and abrasion-resistant panels to support and prevent fabric wear with a gun belt and holster. (Capri available in Tundra and Black. Retail price: $89.99. Tight available in Tundra and Black. Retail price: $94.99)

Spitfire Shooting Shirt – Specifically designed for female range trainers and competitive shooters, the Spitfire Shooting Shirt combines functionality with comfort and a flattering fit. Made from lightweight Flex-Tac® canvas with mechanical stretch and a TEFLON® finish for water and stain resistance, the shirt is breathable and durable. Hidden utility pockets and a sleeve pen pocket provide smart storage. Feminine lines and a shaped waist provide a fashionable and functional fit. (Available in Mosstone, Maritime and Black. Retail price: $74.99)

FOOTWEAR

Speed 3.0 Boots –Building off the success of our EVO and ATAC® Boots, 5.11 updated the Speed family of boots to be lighter and perform under the extreme conditions found while on duty, at the range, exploring the backcountry or the jungle. The Speed series offers the structure and support of a full-sized tactical boot on a quick and agile platform. 5.11 now offers three versions in the Speed boot series:

• Speed 3.0 5" Boots – A more durable version of the Speed boot based on feedback received from the field, the 3.0 provides solid performance you would expect from a tactical boot designed for the rigors of duty work associated with First Responders.

The 3.0 also features an Agion Antimicrobial® lining, an OrthoLite® insole plus a strobe sock for additional cushioning, support and long-term comfort. (Sizes 4,  5, 6-12, 13, 14, 15 Regular and 7-12, 13, 14 Wide; Retail price: $89.99 / Black)
