Beyond Tactical offers something NO ONE else does; custom tactical clothing. Not only can you specify fabric and to a certain degree pocket configuration, but most importantly, size.
Here is Beyond Tactical’s authorized version of USSOCOM’s Protective Combat Uniform Level 9 garment. This garment was custom made specifically for a GSS Gear. Beyond took her measurements and crafted a garment that fits her 5’2″ frame. Fit is of primary concern for Beyond and they have put a great deal of work in their patterning to ensure that the garment moves with and not against the wearer.
