5.11 store opening on barrett pkwy

Ah, but if they would only bring back the original Covert Tactical pant... and this time in BLACK or DARK NAVY. I'd own a dozen pairs.

Version 2 removed the zipper pockets behind the front pockets, which was the most valuable feature. They had inner pockets that held flashlights, knives, extra mags-- and were pick-pocket proof. Best travel pants ever sold... and they don't make them any more. Plus you knew they were clueless about what they had-- anyone who travels needs dark-colored pants-- only Americans and toddlers wear light-colored pants in most of the world. But 5.11 didn't sell anything darker than "Tundra", which due to nylon stitching, is hard to dye black. Been there; done that.

Come on 5.11, get with the program.
 
I must live a sheltered life. I never heard of 511

711 They invented the slurpee... You need to get out more. :)
Oh wait... sorry... I added 200 :doh:

Yeah, their 5.11 stryke pants (with mechanical stretch fabric) are a great work pant but dang they aint cheap. I was hoping for an opening sale/sail/cell of some kind. Chiefs supply (an online store) has some 20% from time to time on 5.11 pants.

Thats what I wear as well, the Stryke pants. I got them on sale for like $35 a pair one year near Black Friday I think.
 
I'm not crazy about the location.. almost too busy, like a highway ramp, but it has good exposure/ road frontage. Hopefully that works out for them. They do carry some better stuff you cant easily find everywhere else.
