Frequently asked questions
We get a lot of customers asking us about the new Eotac line of clothing. It’s no secret that the people behind Eotac were originally behind Woolrich Elite Series tactical clothing. Many of the products that first came out were very close to the Woolrich Elite products that have been out for several years and were also variations of what 5.11 Tactical has been selling. There are some differences that you will notices as soon as you put on the clothes and recently I had a phone conversation with a customer that mentioned he needed something that gave him more mobility that 5.11 pants.
Eotac is backed by the Corporation that owns Bushmaster, Remington, DPMS, Marlin Firearms as well as many other companies. This puts Eotac into some serious competition with 5.11 products just based on who is backing them up. According to our customers, many of the Eotac pants have pocket desings that are better thought out. The Warranty on Eotac apparel basically guarantees quality and they’ll send you a new pair out if there is a defect. Put that up against 5.11 Tactical deteriorating quality control and reputation and you’ll appreciate spending money on tactical shirts, tactical pants and other apparel that has insurance on the money you spent.
When a CCW carrier is carrying a firearm in the winter, we can understand why they may want a firearm in a pocket outside of their body, but I recommend putting some thought into how you wear your clothing and how a firearm can be reached in when wearing heavy clothing. Jackets that hold firearms will have to come off if you’re in a house or building that gets hot, so then what do you do with your gun? The Eotac Style 102 CCW Vest is cut very long and is great for concealing in warm weather, but not a firearm retention vest.
If you haven’t heard them called that yet, maybe we should coin the phrase. Eotac’s Lightweight Operator Grade 
The real reason we love this shirt so much is how often we get out in cool mornings and by late morning we’re dying of heat and sometimes we just want to tear our shirt off. The back of the shirt is vented so even though this is not super lightweight material it can breath pretty well and the zipper can add a more professional look while zipped down when you want to cool off. This is hands down our #1 seller to firearms instructors for the look and applications.
