EOTAC Launches New Emerson Knife Collaboration at SHOT
Thursday, January 14th, 2010From the get go, EOTAC wanted to do a knife to complement their clothing styles so they went to knife making legend Ernest Emerson to produce the EOG-1 (Elite operator Grade). Emerson designed a custom blade design crafted from 154CM premium Stainless Tool Steel hardened to 57 Rockwell with a partial serration. The EOG-1 also features G10 scales and Titanium liner lock.
The production knife will only be available with the partially serrated blade like the Black variant above. The A-TACS version below is a prototype shown so that you can see how it will look with the camo finish. The knife will be available only through EOTAC and select EOTAC dealers and quantities will be limited. It will be offered in Black, Khaki, OD Green, and A-TACS.
EOTAC has a whole slew of new stuff coming for SHOT in booth #11456. Hopefully, we will be able to give you a couple of more sneak peeks before the show kicks off.

EOTAC & Extreme Outfitters Establish Jacksonville, NC Showroom
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009EOTAC, manufacturers of tactical and discrete wear have teamed up with Extreme Outfitters to establish a showroom in Jacksonville, NC at the Extreme Outfitters store.
“After the success with our flagship showroom in NYC, we sought out a store that would be a great follow up. Extreme Outfitters is that store. Located near Camp Lejeune, Extreme Outfitters serves the military, law enforcement, and civilian communities offering both tactical and outdoor equipment,” said Fernando Coelho, President of EOTAC.
“The EOTAC lightweight tactical pant is undoubtedly the most comfortable, durable well thought out tactical pant I have ever worn! You can keep buying more of the same or you can choose EOTAC and get in the game!,” said a very enthusiastic Steve Siderias, President/CEO of Extreme Outfitters.
Here at Soldier Systems, we think this is a great team up and can’t wait to see where this leads.
For more information about EOTAC’s line, contact Extreme Outfitters at (910) 355-2118 or visit them online at www.extremeoutfitters.us.
EOTAC Establishes NYC Show Room
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009EOTAC has teamed with NY Ironworks to establish a showroom in Manhattan at the NY Ironworks store.
“I am very happy to be working with the folks at NY Ironworks. They have been serving the law enforcement community for the past 15 years and have a rock solid reputation with their customers. Their location in Chinatown, around the corner from One Police Plaza, is the perfect place for EOTAC to present our full product line to the NYC law enforcement community,” said Fernando Coelho, President of EOTAC.
“We are proud to be EOTAC’s New York City showroom. We believe in carrying the best in any category we offer our customers, and with EOTAC, we can do that,” said Neil Guideman, Owner of NY Ironworks.
“We like to carry the best product in the market that is available to the law enforcement community. With the EOTAC products they offer the best comfort and high quality material made,” added Tony NG, the Sales Manager of NY Ironworks.
EOTAC Operator Pant – in UCP!
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009It seems that EOTAC has been listening to their customer base and has finally released their Operator Pants (Style 201) in the Army’s Universal Camouflage Pattern.
Manufactured from a fade resistant 7 ounce all-cotton ripstop, end users affectionately call this pant the “pajama pant” due to its comfort. I can attest to this claim, they are very comfortable and have a soft hand. Additionally, EOTAC applies DuPont Teflon® fabric protector to repel both water and oil based spills.
All critical seams are double-needle stitched and bar-tacked at stress points. The Action Waist has side elastic panels for freedom of movement. The 1 inch wide reinforced belt loops are strategically placed and accommodate belts up to 1 3/4 inches wide and the gusseted crotch allows for a greater range of mobility while reducing the stress around the crotch area of the pant.
There are multiple pockets to cover a wide range of uses. Two secured back pockets accommodate a wallet or ID while two larger easy access rear pockets accommodate larger gear. Like the ACU pant, there are two slant top bellows cargo pockets. They feature hook & loop closure flaps and elastic drawstring with cord lock for additional security. Inside the cargo pockets are elastic webbing loops that secure up to two 30-round magazines per pocket. The reinforced knees feature external openings with hook & loop closures for inserting foam knee pads (included). Two lower leg bellows pockets each feature a hook & loop closure flap and two chem stick holders.
“This was a natural progression for us. Our Operator Pant is based very closely on the US Army’s ACU pant. Because of that similarity in look, soldiers had asked us to offer it in the UCP. That was an easy decision to make. If it helps our soldiers, then it was worth doing,” said Fernando Coelho , president of EOTAC.
Sizes are available in 28″to 48″ waist and inseam lengths of 30″to 36″ (even sizes). In addition to UCP, the pants are also available in Khaki, Black, Navy, and OD Green. To order visit www.EOTAC.com.
Lizard Field Jacket Available Now
Saturday, August 29th, 2009The much anticipated Lizard pattern Field Jacket (style 502) from EOTAC has finally hit the market.
In addition to the Lizard pattern shown, the Field Jacket is also available in Black, Coyote, and OD. To order visit EOTAC online. Get them before they are gone.
EOTAC Releases Mechanic Shirt
Sunday, July 12th, 2009Camouflage is all about blending in and the new mechanic shirt from EOTAC allows the wearer to blend in to basically any rural or urban setting while successfully carrying concealed. Sure, you can go down to Walmart and purchase an inexpensive shirt but the second you put a gun on, chances are real good that sucker is going to print.
It features a straight bottom hem with side vents and designed to be worn untucked in order to drape freely, offering maximum concealment and no printing. The two lower front buttons are false, with hook & loop closure behind them. This feature makes accessing a holstered handgun or spare magazines both rapid and smooth by either pulling or sweeping the shirt away. The mechanic shirt is available in Grey, Navy, and black and comes with four sew-on patches to help blend in.
For more information visit www.eotac.com.
EOTAC’s Field Vest
Friday, May 15th, 2009Recognizing the versatility of the Field Jacket, EOTAC created a sleeveless version that retains the carrying capacity of the original yet is intended for warmer days or to complement other clothing for concealed carry.
There are four large cargo pockets on the front of the vest featuring side bellows and drain holes. The pockets have elastic webbing on the inside to secure smaller items like magazines or a flashlight as well as tuck away flaps with adjustable snaps. The top pockets also feature vertical zippered “Napoleon” security pockets. Internally, the Field Vest has four pockets with elastic loops for securing additional gear. Finally, a padded collar eases heavy loads and the front of the vest closes with a two-way YKK zipper.
Manufactured from 9 ounce all-cotton Iron Twill, the fabric is treated with DuPont Teflon® fabric protector. Shown in Lizard pattern, the Field vest will also be available in OD Green, Coyote Brown, and Black from www.eotac.com as well as retailers such as Gander Mountain and Grey Group Training.
EOTAC’s Lizard Pattern Field Jacket
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009We told you that EOTAC has a couple of tricks up their sleeve. One of them is a new colorway. Last fall we dropped the news that EOTAC was working on French Lizard pattern. Initially, they developed the material to give their Field Jacket, based on the French Algerian combat suit, a proper tribute by reproducing the camo pattern made famous by the French Foreign Legion. However, as you will see soon, it will also be applied to other newly developed products.
For more information on the EOTAC Operator Grade Field Jacket visit them on the web at www.eotac.com.
UCP Operator Pants from EOTAC
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009There are lots of new surprises in store from EOTAC including these Operator Pants in UCP. Looking for comfort, durability and features not found in your issue trousers? Then these are just the ticket. They feature all of the extras of the Operator Pant with the addition of the Army’s Universal Camouflage Pattern. From the cargo pant down they look outwardly like issue ACUs so you will be able to avoid the uniform nazis.
Rumors abound of a possible FR variant. Available soon from EOTAC. While you are there be sure to join the forum for the latest news on EOTAC products.

EOTAC Clothing Update
Sunday, November 9th, 2008
I recently received a package of EOTAC’s new clothing. As many of you probably already know, the folks at EOTAC had previously designed and marketed clothing for another brand and while they still share some similarities (as do most of that market), there are some glaring differences. The most obvious is fit, and EOTAC has gotten it right. As soon as I slipped the pants on I noticed how much better the fit was from even the preliminary prototypes I had tried on over the summer.
The key to this change is their new proprietary Tact-Fit system. Details are still under wraps but from what I have gathered, EOTAC has taken the time to refine their fit based on anthromorphic data collected from American men at arms.
Additionally, EOTAC has introduced new fabrics and has tended to many of the small details they were unable to fix due to an obsession on the bottom line by their previous partners. Some examples of EOTAC’s improvements include superior color matching, correcting the placement of the knee pad pockets, and additional stitching on the trouser line. For the Field Jacket, the material has been improved and the cuff closure has been drastically improved from the variant they developed for a competitor. The entire line has been modified and enhanced and you will see more info over the next few weeks.
EOTAC’s ordering system is active. You can check out the clothing and order at www.eotac.com.
EOTAC Goes Camo
Tuesday, October 14th, 2008
EOTAC is dipping their toe in the camo pond. They are releasing a French Lizard camo variant of the Men’s Operator Grade Field Jacket based on the French issued Algerian combat jacket. While not a 100% accurate reproduction of the jacket made famous by the French Foreign Legion, the new offering available in time for SHOT, provides an authentic look and feel. Great pains were taken to accurately reproduce both the pattern and material. While the swatch below is printed on ripstop material the final garment will be of HBT, just like the original. The Field Jacket is currently available in sizes Small – 3XL and Black, Coyote Brown, OD Green colors. Word also has it that more camo patterns are on the way.
For more information on the Field Jacket check out EOTAC’s website.
