5.11 Tactical ATAC PLx Flashlight

After a few months of use I have decided to due a small review on the 5.11 Tactical ATAC PLx Flashlight.

This is a small pocket flashlight that has a great beam on it!!

5.11 Wingman Patrol Bag

I just ordered a patrol bag from 5.11. I will write a review and post a video when it comes in.

5.11 Tactical Trainer Belt

The perfect belt for your EDC needs. The Trainer belt from 5.11 Tactical is one of the best belts I have worn.

Boasting a whopping 6000 pound rating at the buckle, this belt can be used for "last ditch" scenarios. The Trainer belt is 1 1/2 inches wide to fit most belt loops and is very well used for everyday use. The stitching is very well done, and the velcro does not look as if it will give out anytime soon.

UPDATE 10-20-2011
My belt is having an issue with the inner part of the buckle falling out. I mention this in the video, however it has gotten worse. I called 5.11, gave them some information and they are sending out a new belt. If there are any updates, I will post a new video and let you know.

UPDATE 12-5-2011
I received my belt from 5.11, there is nothing different about this belt. It looks exactly the same, but I have not had the issue with the buckle piece falling out. I'm going to put it thru the paces over the next few months, and I will update this post.

See the video for more details.

Vertx Shorts

I recently purchased a few pairs of Vertx shorts. I really like these, they are just like their pants. And quality, fit and feel is wonderful.

5.11 Mission Response Rolling Duffel Bag

Recently I picked up a 5.11 Mission Response Rolling Duffel from thefirestore.com for 85.00 on clearance, usually 169.99.

Sorry for the stock photo. I haven't packed it out yet, and it looks better full.

Maxpedition FR-1 First Aid Pouch

This is a First Aid pouch that I currently have attached to my EDC bag. This pouch is loaded with some of my most used items for immediate first aid for my family.


What I love about this bag is the way it fully opens or you can use the cinch cord to shorten it up. The elastic spots inside can hold a variety of stuff.

I am going to be redoing this blog.

Hello,

5.11 TDU Pants

What most of you that read my blog do not know is that I am not only a Firefighter, but I am the clothing/PPE equipment officer for my department. In late 2007 I was about to get my department out of the traditional work pants that we were wearing and switch to BDU style pants. We decided to go to the Tru-Spec BDU pant in navy. We wore these for about a year and a half, before I switched us into the 5.11 TDU Ripstop Pant in navy. There were a few decisions for this. 1. No one liked a button fly. 2. Elastic waistband. 3. Built-in knee pads. 4. No (or little) color fade. 5. Generous cut in the crotch area. Based upon these decisions, I switched and I couldn't be more happy. The cargo pockets have nice internal organization. If you get a chance to try out the TDU pant, do it. For our fire department, this has become the new standard in station work pants.

UPDATE 12-5-2011
5.11 No longer sends these pants with the included knee pads, you have to call them or send in a form. I slid on my knees on rough pavement with these and they did not tear. After almost 2 years in the TDU pant, my very first pair has no fade, and look almost as good as the day I pulled them out of the package.
