Tactical Pants with a Warranty
Well, one thing to think about when settling on an apparel line is this, how many of your tactical apparel companies are offering a Warranty like this: “EOTAC’s products are of superior quality and come with a full warranty to the original owner. If our garment or accessory ever fails due to a material or manufacturing defect, even after extended use, we will repair the product, without charge, or replace it at our discretion. This warranty does not cover damage caused by accident, improper care, negligence, normal wear and tear, or the natural breakdown of colors and materials over time and use. Damage not covered under warranty will be repaired or replaced for a reasonable rate and a fee will be charged for return shipping. This warranty gives you specific legal rights; you may have other rights, which vary from state to state”
We deal with the crowd that actually gets down and dirty on the range and in the field when it comes to tactical clothing. We probable get a couple phone calls a week from people mentioning they “blew the pants out at the range today” and then they name the tactical pants brand, the style ect. The tactical apparel market has been exploding and we have to admit there are some good quality pants out there, but the price differences are pretty extreme.
We we get into discussions with people that are looking for clothing that doesn’t make them look like they are carrying a gun, we listen to what the customer has to say and then we give them some options. We realize that dressing all tactical and clipping a folding knife onto a front pocket is usually a giveaway, but there is more to think about other than “what if they think I look like I carry a gun”. Well, how many times have you seen an Obama hippy pot smoking hippy with a camoflauge jacket on or cutoff camo pants? Does he look like he’s easy prey for a robber?
. I guess its because so many of us have stories about the guy that shows up at a gun range and is ready for the tactical ninja battle of his life, but can’t shoot for ____. He’s wearing all black, has a low end AR15 with a red dot on it and isn’t grouping his shots very well. For those that are in law enforcement, we think about SWAT Teams or special operations. Well, there’s another application for tactical vests. A place to put all of your shooting accessories that goes to the range with you and it’s on you at all times.
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.
Everyone has there taste and styles in firearms and even some have their preferences in the type of ammunition and bullet weights. Some operators prefer to dress in black and prefer to look as tactical as possible while others just can’t figure out why they would need a tactical vest in the first place. Some tactical vests are about as comfortable as strapping on a parachute and not always modernized.
I’ve gotten the questions numerous times about what kind of jacket is best for winter carry. I’m not one to suggest that carrying a firearm in an outwear jacket is a good idea. There are expensive jackets out there where you can carry a gun and retain it in the jacket, but weight distribution is almost always an issue. Sometimes people need to realize that winter carry isn’t going to be as easy as summer carry because cold environments are going to mean big jackets or multiple layers of clothing.
Many of you may think that spending $60 for a pair of pants is too high, but for a lightweight material, the design is extremely important. Eotac lightweight pants have a gusseted crotch that will drastically increase your ability to manuever without wearing about ripping your crotch out if you’re running and jumping. We had a user mention that another manufacturers pants tore in the crotch when he went from prone to standing up on a firing line. I guess we’ve all torn pants at some point in life, but tactical pants are not meant to be worn like Levi’s jeans.
