Plate carriers and chest rigs 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.

BALLISTIC PROTECTION
In a combat zone, it is necessary to protect yourself appropriately from shrapnel and weapon bullets. Ballistic protection is specifically designed to be used for this purpose. The forms of ballistic protection include hard ballistics - so-called ballistic plates, soft ballistics and a complete bulletproof vest.
SOFT AND HARD BALLISTIC protection
Hard ballistics are so-called plates made of very hard material which serve the purpose of stopping the bullet from penetrating the plates. On the other hand, soft ballistics distribute the energy of the bullet over a larger area, reducing the effect on the human body. At the same time, it has a stopping effect for shrapnel caused by the deformation of the bullet. Ballistic plates are used in combination with a plate carrier.
BULLETPROOF VESTS
Bulletproof vests are suitable for police officers, security personnel and diplomatic staff. The concealed carry versions can be worn under clothing and can thus remain concealed.
