5.11 Announces Partnership with 3M on New Carbon Black Uniform Application

Friday, February 26th, 2021

Irvine, CA (February 24, 2021) – 5.11, Inc., the global innovator of purpose-built apparel, footwear and gear, is excited to be the first in the public safety space to offer 3M™ Scotchlite™ Carbon Black embellishment now available through the 5.11 Custom Shop in Manteca, CA. This patented reflective film has a high level of durability while still maintaining flexibility which makes this glass bead technology a perfect candidate for application to uniform and outerwear alike.

Officer safety is the primary intent of this product giving off-angle brightness in low-light situations, however, remaining a muted appearance during daylight conditions. Unlike other treatments, 3M™ Scotchlite™ Carbon Black will not lose the dark coloration or reflective properties while still maintaining a peak performance for the life of the product.


3M™ Scotchlite™ Carbon Black Embellishment for 5.11

“While not replacing the ANSI Level 2 Reflective Vest, Carbon Black is an all-the-time option to aid in better viability during low-light situations and has a clean look to maintain traditional appearance that our law enforcement end-users expect,” said Matt Page, 5.11’s Vice President of Global Product.

Capability for embellishment is near limitless from custom agency or standardized law enforcement callout. Additional recommendations are to include piping around sleeves and stripes down pant and pocket to allow more points of viability. “We have had great initial feedback from early field testing with select agencies,” says Brian Tripp, 5.11’s Vice President, Guardian Sales Division. “Improvements in uniforms to elevate officer safety is paramount, and 5.11 strives to drive this effort.”

Grip and Cutback SF Pants Aim to Blend in No Matter the Environment
Cincinnati, Ohio – Vertx®, a leading manufacturer of low-profile tactical apparel and accessories, announced today the addition of the Grip and Cutback SF pants to its low-vis line. Designed to work for a number of environments and styles, the Grip and Cutback SF add variety to the Prepared Professional’s™ low-profile uniform. Both the Grip and Cutback SF are now available online at vertx.com and in-store. Customers can find their nearest dealer using the Vertx® store locator at vertx.com/store-locator.

Cutback SF Pant in Griffin
Whether its hidden E&E pockets, gusseting, comms pass-throughs, or wallet traps, the Grip and Cutback SF includes everything you’ve come to expect from a Vertx® pant; packaged for your unique look or assignment.

The Grip offers the same form as classic workwear, but with tactical function. Its unique front dump pockets mimic the look of a utility pant but are extra-deep and fabricated using a highly breathable mesh that eliminates hot spots. When the job gets dirty, the Grip blends in without sacrificing vital features.

The more urban Cutback SF fits into any downtown, uptown, or out of town environment. Its slimmer leg opening fits in on city streets but can be dressed up for professional settings or dressed down for a day on the range.

Grip Pant in Exhaust
“Our customers in the field aren’t always working a job alone,” said Denny Bogard, GM/VP of Vertx. “When we bring a new piece into our line, we keep that in mind. The Grip and Cutback SF expand our end user’s options so a group can work a mission together without looking like it.”

The Grip and Cutback SF provide the visual diversity your team and your situation call for, with the features you rely on. Each pant’s colorways are unique, so even when you “accidentally” match with the team, your look doesn’t scream, “Look at me!” The Grip is available in Exhaust, Depth Charge and Dusty Rhode and the Cutback SF in Griffin, Tobacco and Deep Navy. They retail for $69.99 MSRP and $79.99 MSRP, online and in store. Learn more about the Grip, the Cutback SF and the rest of the Vertx® line at vertx.com.
