5.11 Launches New Products for Fall 2021

Thursday, October 7th, 2021

Irvine, Calif. (October 7, 2021) – 5.11, Inc., the global innovator of purpose-built apparel, footwear and gear, today announced the release of several exciting new products for Fall 2021 that are designed to meet the needs of outdoor adventurers, public safety professionals and tactical enthusiasts. The newly released items are available online and in-stores now.

“Our consumers seek to live the mantra of Always Be Ready at all times, whether they’re at work, in the field, or planning their next outdoor adventure,” said 5.11’s CEO, Francisco Morales. “The items we’re introducing this fall will help them do just that. Our team has strategically designed many of these products to serve our consumers, both in their personal lives and their professional lives.”

For those who desire to Always Be Ready in any and all conditions, 5.11 is introducing the Atmosphere Regulator System, a full, multi-layer clothing system designed for anything nature dishes out. The multi-functional layering system starts with the Tropos Base Layer Tight ($45) and the Tropos Base Layer Top ($45) that feature graphene yarn and flatlock seams for moisture wicking and anti-odor performance, along with all-day comfort. Next the Men’s Stratos 1/4 Zip ($70) and Women’s Stratos 1/4 Zip ($70) are technical and stylish all-season pullovers constructed with a durable polyester/elastane-blended fleece with moisture wicking, anti-odor and stretch properties, plus raglan sleeves to provide comfort and a full range of motion.

After the Stratos 1/4 Zip comes the Mesos Tech Fleece ($90), a full-zip jacket made with anti-piling micro-fleece and strategically placed N6-nylon overlays for extra durability. The Exos Rain Shell ($130) is constructed with a 20k waterproof and 10k breathable 2.5L ripstop fabric, then fully seamed-sealed to withstand prolonged precipitation from any storm. Finally, the Atmos Warming Jacket ($180) is a sturdy parka, designed to provide ultimate warmth and protection, in very cold temperatures. 170 grams of PrimaLoft® Black Insulation is wrapped inside a rugged 5k waterproof and 10k breathable nylon hardshell.

Beyond the Atmosphere Regulator System, customers can find a wide range of new products to meet their needs. The Lester Long Sleeve ($65) provides all-day comfort with chamois construction and added durability, with a double-layer yoke. It also features the customer favorite RAPIDraw™ snap placket, to keep EDC gear readily accessible, yet discrete at all times.

A tough and warm layer, with a classic buffalo-check pattern, can be found in the Seth Shirt Jacket ($100). It’s built with 100% cotton twill that’s brushed for softness, lined with fleece, and filled with 80g insulation in the sleeves, to be a go-to piece for any task.

The Louise Shirt Jacket ($100) offers a solid foundation of modern performance and functionality for female customers. Its 100% cotton twill construction creates durability, while a brushed finish provides extra softness. A fleeced-lined body, quilted taffeta in the sleeves, and Sherpa-lining make this layering piece warm and cozy on any chilly day.

With the Engaged Fleece Full Zip ($55) 5.11 is introducing a hoodie-style jacket with a tough, yet soft, cotton/polyester fleece blend. It features a ribbed cotton-elastane waist and sleeve cuffs to help retain body heat and keep the jacket in place, a two-way zipper for easy on-and-off, a cinch-down hood for blustery conditions, and zippered hand pockets. Also being introduce is an Engaged Fleece Crew ($45). It features the same great fabrics and materials of the Engaged Fleece Full Zip but in a convenient crew design that includes a left chest pocket.

The Coalition Pant ($80) is a versatile piece that can be utilized outdoors, in the office, or out on the town. Made with ultra-durable, 9.5-oz cavalry twill with elastane for functional stretch, then stonewashed and brushed on both sides for permanent softness, it’s stylish, comfortable, and functional.

The Hedda Hybrid Tight ($75) is built to provide comfort, mobility and performance for any activity. This all-purpose piece features a durable nylon/elastane stretch jersey knit for full mobility and moisture wicking. Polyester/elastane stretch panels enhanced with Enduro-Flex™ and a DWR coating are strategically added for additional reinforcement and flexibility. Final touches include a soft stretch waistband for increased comfort, inner drawcord for a secure fit, running gusset for free range of motion, and flat-locked seams to protect against chafing.

Tuesday, October 5th, 2021

Urban Tactical is the Canadian dealer for UF PRO. They’ve made a sizable investment in bringing the brand in and have the latest products like this Striker X Combat Shirt in Steel Grey, a color that has become quite popular with law enforcement.

OpEx 21 – Woolly Pully

Tuesday, October 5th, 2021

I’m told the venerable Woolly Pully is featured in the upcoming Bond movie and demand is once again up. I’ve always loved them, having received my first sweater, a child’s version of the RAF issue sweater, from my dad when I was a kid which he purchased from a NAAFI during a TDY to the UK in the late 70s. Since then, I’ve owned a few of these so-called Commando Sweaters. Some were purchased and the others traded for, but always fond memories.

Parabellum Prime has the real deal from their British manufacturer. These are the same wool models you’ll remember, in Black, Green and Grey.

OpEx 21 – Grayman & Company

Monday, October 4th, 2021

Parabellum Prime hosted a Grayman & Company mannequin during OpEx which gave a good idea of the quality of their custom tailored suits for low viz ops and protective detail personnel.

Standard features include such necessities as cut resistant sleeves and hidden ID panels, Action back and quick draw front button.

OpEx 21 – Vertx

Monday, October 4th, 2021

Vertx’s sister brand is Flying Cross which not only provides dress uniforms for the US military but is also a very well respected blue goods brand, manufacturing Law Enforcement uniforms.

They’ve offered the Dutyguard HT Pullover for several years which is popular with LEOs who wear external armor vests as part of their uniform. It’s kind of a Combat Shirt but with fleece-lined pockets high up on the chest which can be accessed via the arm holes of the vest.

The Hybrid Technology Pullover features waterproof, breathable shell fabric throughout the shoulder and chest area that provides a safeguard from the elements, coupled with knit stretch performance fabric along the torso to shed light rain and a 1/4 front zipper for ventilation. It’s offered in Black, LAPD Navy and OD Green, sizes XSmall – 5XLarge.

Due to its popularity, they’ve introduced an insulated version called the HT+ for cold weather wear. Same sizing but only offered in Black and LAPD Navy.

OpEx 21 – Point6

Monday, October 4th, 2021

Point6 makes my favorite Merino wool socks and they exhibited on the Parabellum Prime booth at OpEx.

In addition to socks they also manufacture Merino baselayers. Up until now they’ve only been available in Black but they recently did a run in Tan which is very close to Tan 499 (Coyote). They feature flat seams, tape hang slot and Raglan sleeves (for the top).
