Softshell jackets 5.11
The American brand "5.11 Tactical" was founded in the US state of California. Upon climber Royal Robbins reaching the top of a climb in Yosemite California, he noticed that the trousers that he was wearing were not suited for climbing. Robbins decided that he needed to design something more durable and with better functionality. Began manufacturing pants by the name of "5.11" in 1968.
The name "5.11" comes from the highest rock climbing difficulty level that was listed in the Yosemite Decimal System at Yosemite National Park, which was developed by Robbins in the 1950s.
In 2003, the brand acquired its current form. Now it focuses not only on climbers and outdoor, but also supplies its products to the FBI, the military, police, firefighters, rescuers, the Coast Guard, the Mountain Service and other services around the world.
The FBI has been working with the "5.11" brand since 1992, when it began using its pants to train its agents.

DON'T KNOW ADVICE ON CHOICE?
Softshell jackets can be compared according to their basic parameters.
DIVIDED INTO:
- membrane - those that have a medium textile membrane, have better waterproofing parameters and are more resistant to wind, may be less breathable and have less moisture wicking from the body
- woven - they do not have a membrane, waterproofness is assured by density of the upper layer and the upper impregnation treatment, in contrast to the membrane are more breathable
FURTHER, WE CAN DIVIDE THEM ACCORDING TO THE SEASONS:
- spring - medium-strength softshell with an inner side of uninsulated fabric, usually polyester or cotton
- summer - very thin softshell without inner layer
- winter - inner layer of strong warming material, most often fleece
For softshell materials, we can compare the water resistance, that is determined in mm of the water column, and the vapor permeability, or breathability, which is determined in g/m2.
In our e-shop you will find jackets with special technologies, such as high-quality YKK zippers, the patented WindBlocker of Helikon or Quick Side Access, that guarantees quick drawing of a concealed weapon.
