Our brand name "5.11" originates in the Yosemite Valley, USA. The brand is named after the climbing grade of 5.11, which describes a very difficult level of climbing. Our 5.11 Tactical Pant was originally designed as a climbing pant and has since become a world leader in tactical pants style. It is the basis for many successful products in various fields, which have been developed since then. 5.11 now offers hundreds of products, from uniforms, boots and bags, and knives, flashlights and more.
