5.11 Unveils New Products for Spring and Fall at SHOT 2019

Irvine, Calif. (Jan. 21, 2019) – 5.11 Tactical, the global innovator of tactical apparel and gear, will unveil an impressive lineup of new products at SHOT Show in Las Vegas, January 22-25, 2019. The 2019 product line features new packs, apparel and footwear for both professional and outdoor consumers.

Common themes running through 5.11’s 2019 collection are innovation, customization and versatility. From packs to pants, to footwear, EDC accessories and luggage, 5.11 revamped several collections with new product offerings as well as updated best sellers.

“5.11 relies heavily on end-user testing and feedback in the design of our products, and we had been fielding a constant request from operators to build versatility into our new 2019 product range,” said 5.11 Tactical CEO, Francisco Morales. “In addition to mission-specific gear, operators are looking for products that perform across a wider range of missions and adapt to users preferences – be it on-duty, heading to the office, or off to a training environment – with complete ease.” Morales continues, “Our 2019 product range offers our users easily customizable and feature-rich products that tackle the challenge of versatility.”

Expanding on 5.11’s popular ever-versatile AMP (All Missions Pack) line, debuted at SHOT in 2018, the AMP10™ Backpack for Spring 2019 is a 20-liter workhorse. Small but mighty, the AMP10™ offers countless options to customize how gear is carried. In addition to 5.11’s HEXGRID load-bearing system, the AMP10™ features internal webbing loops and compartments for smartphone devices and a CCW. An intuitive fastener attaches the shoulder straps to the pack and allows users to quickly transform the AMP10™ into a cross-body sling pack, adding another versatile bonus (MSRP: $179.99).

5.11 will also introduce the LV18 backpack as a low-vis option that’s high on tactical features. While the profile of the pack is simple, internal organization choices are endless. The LV18 launches in Spring 2019, accompanied by a smaller sling pack model, the LV10 and a versatile crossbody/waist pack model, the LV6.  (MSRP: $149.99, $119.99, $42.99).

For Fall 2019, 5.11 will launch its ultra-customizable Range Master Pack and Bag Collection.

Apparel offerings for 2019 will reflect 5.11’s reputation for innovative, comfortable, dependable clothes with one of the leading product stories being an update to the pants collection.

Other notable additions to 5.11’s pant collection include the Capital and Icon pant for Fall 2019. The new models take cues from best-selling pants Apex and Stryke, while improving upon fit and function. The Apex Pant’s 11 tactical pockets, coupled with the Capital Pant’s updated fit, result in a discreet cut and pocket styling allowing for low-profile visibility and high-level tactical functionality in the new Capital Pant. Built for toughness and freedom of movement, the Capital Pant’s Flex-Tac® fabric and Teflon™ finish increase flexibility and stain resistance. With the updated fit and comfort waistband construction, the Icon Pant still gives you the function and comfort you’ve always relied on from 5.11 Tactical’s Stryke™ Pants. With 12 pockets reinforced with mega-strong nylon 6 fabric and a diamond gusset and knee articulation, the durability and range of motion you get from the Icon Pant is unprecedented (MSRP: $84.99, $79.99).

The Bravo Pant is an urban pant with a modern fit and 4-way stretch fabric that moves with you. It’s engineered with a super-lightweight, ultimately flexible fabric blend with a durable water-repellent finish. Seven total pockets give you the capacity to handle all of your EDC without looking like it (MSRP: $84.99).

For women, the new Vista Pant and Harper Tight offer performance on the range with style fit for an urban environment. The Vista Pant is made of a flexible 4-way stretch double weave fabric, with a slim fit and ankle length for a contemporary look. Eight total pockets include reinforced hand pockets, two cargo drop pockets, and two back mag pockets also suited for a smartphone. The Harper Tight combines training, utility, and style to take on your toughest range day or just another day at the office. Both will be available in Fall 2019 (MSRP $74.99, $94.99).

In the outerwear category, 5.11 Tactical will launch the Surplus Men’s and Women’s Jackets for Fall 2019. The military style jacket is feature-rich with dual ReadyPocket™ functionality, cargo pockets, and RapidDraw™ pass-through pockets for seamless concealed carry capabilities. (MSRP: $129.99)

Footwear innovations from 5.11 in 2019 span stylish lifestyle models to evolved professional-grade boots. On the lifestyle side, the Norris Sneaker and Apex™ 6” Wedge update classic silhouettes with 5.11’s rugged performance. The Norris Sneaker has the look and feel of a high-top skate shoe, with an Ortholite® footbed for long days on your feet and a Vibram® sole for superior traction. The Norris is ASTM certified for puncture resistance, withstanding roughly 300 pounds of force to puncture the sole. The Apex™ Wedge is inspired by 5.11’s workhorse Apex boot in a casual work boot with a classic leather lace-up and a contemporary wedge sole from Vibram® that’s shock absorbent, lightweight and comfortable (MSRP: $99.99, $199.99).

These 100% polyester long and short sleeve shirt options along with the twill pant delivers 5.11’s signature performance and professionalism on the job at a competitive price point.
