New Store: 5.11 +

Anonymous
Anyone buy clothes at this shop on Rockville Pike? I was hoping it would be a replacement for the now-closed Ranger Surplus, but it seems only to have it own brands. Not sure of quality.

Are you taking about 5.11 tactical? If so, they have a great selection of cargo pants. Most are geared towards law enforcement, but some pants look normal.

Ummm this shop is like for ICE agents and similar. Hard pass.

There’s one near me, never been in it but I thought it was for men at least 5’11” tall? What does the 5.11 mean?

5.11 is a rock climbing grade.

But it does seem random. It’s far from the hardest climbing.

Their clothing is marketed heavily towards police. That’s where my LEO DH gets his work pants. It’s hard to believe that’s enough of a market to keep a brick and mortar store open.

It’s been open for several years on the Pike. It must be doing well.

In this area, I think it is possible. Where would you be able to try a tactical kilt?

That's not really the point of a B/M, it's about having a physical presence so people buy online from them. I won't buy from stores that don't have a B/M near me so I can return it. I also don't trust a lot of online retailers.

It’s a shop specializing in tactical and duty-grade clothing. Higher end stuff, skews expensive. It’s quality , but it’s also priced accordingly. I think LAPG dot com has similar clothing but at better prices.

It’s definitely NOT a substitute for Ranger. That place was fantastic. Great milsurp and oddball stuff at reasonable prices. I still miss that place. It was quirky but awesome.

It has nothing to do with climbing rocks
