A Tactical Store that stocks stuff for women

Original Swat bootsWe all know that there are some pretty tough women in Law Enforcement, Military and even some women that’ll kick your ass in IDPA.   One of the biggest complaints we had from women 10yrs ago, when we first got into the tactical clothing industry was that all of the stuff they had access to was mens tactical clothing.    Every once in awhile we might be sold out of a certain womans pant style or boot style,  and they’ll happily walk out the door with mens pants or boots and just tough it out.   Without turning this into an anatomy course on why women can’t wear the same clothing as men all the time, just be glad that there is a steady market out there geared towards women in Law Enforcement, Security and competition shooting.   Just look at the pink AR15 accessories Magpul has out.

Recently we evaluated our footwear line and cut out styles that didn’t move as quickly  but put in more of the Original Swat footwear for women.  There aren’t many color options in the tactical boot line, but let’s be real, the majority of Original Swat boots are going to be for people that need to wear black boots.   The new Chase Series footwear are available in tan and we will be testing those out to see if they sell as well as the 1152F side zip boots did.   It seems that just like the men, women prefer side-zip boots over the tradition 9inch lace up boots.   There is also a chase low style for women that will be listed shortly.

Tactical Clothing and footwear for women

I’m not sure exactly how to describe where the exact crossover is from womens tactical clothing to mens clothing, but there is definitely a line that is there.  With womens pants there are slight variations in the waist that women may want over what men want but not everyone really cares.  We have had several women in our store that were wearing womens EMS pants from 5.11 tactical but the mens Eotac 203 navy pants were just fine.   Much if this depends on body type and tolerance of comfort.  Our line of Tru Spec 24/7 pants are probable the best received tactical or ems pants for women. There is just something about womens clothing that many tactical companies have not be able to design very well.

When it comes to footwear, we signed on to be an Original Swat footwear dealer over 3 yrs ago and we were very happy that our first experiences with the product line have been all good.  In recent years we have had very good responses with the Original Swat womens boots which are similar to the mens style.  Slight differences in sizing is pretty much all there is.  Many women in the tactical industry are forced to wear mens boots or mens tactical pants, shirts and vests that were never designed for their bodies.   Original Swat footwear is highly regarded as the best tactical boot in it’s price range.
