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 infoTactical belts are used especially when moving. They allow you to relieve your arms and spread the weight of the weapon on your chest. Another advantage is the attachment itself, you can release the weapon from your hands and perform other activities while the weapon is still within your reach. It is not a problem to apply medical devices, open an MRE or look for a gear in bags.
There are different variants of tactical straps. They differ from each other both in color and in the number of attachment points. Nowadays, it is a matter of course to have a quick-release buckle on the weapon strap. Thanks to it, the weapon can be quickly unclipped.
