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.
More infoIn our offer of men's and women's outdoor pants, there are plenty of trousers from the manufacturer Helikon, which is known especially for giving some "added value" each of their products. As a rule, the trousers are enriched with some practical extras, like high-quality and almost unbreakable Japanese YKK® zippers.
Aside from high-quality zippers, Helikon offers many other upgrades like various loops for attaching other equipment, or reinforcement of exposed areas, which will make the pants much more durable. Other tweaks include reinforcing the hems of the front pockets to prevent them from being damaged by pocket clip closures.
