Lightweight pants vs standard weight

Woolrich Elite PantsThere is a huge difference in what kind of pants are tolerable in warm enviromnets.   Once you start hitting the 80 F weather those cotton canvas pants will really get heavy.    The styles 4441 and 4447 are your hot weather pants, and if those are too hot to wear, try the shorts.   Everyone has varying degrees of tolearance in the type of apparel they can wear.   We’d consider the 4441 pants to be the most worn unless you’re taking a carbine or tactical class or you’re toting and M16 or Ar15 all day, and then we’d recommend the style 4447 Lightweight Operator pants.

Woolrich Elite pants are made of either 100% cotton ripstop or 8.5oz cotton canvas.   I’ve seen 5.11 makes pants that are supposedly made of the same material and weight, but there is a felt difference.   The standard weight pants are styles 4904 and 4429, these pants are the most commonly used Woolrich Elite Pants followed by the 2 styles that are made of the ripstop material.  The 4904 pants are being listed on clearance for $25 and are a deal.

Military Jacket for the modern CCW carrier

Tactical JacketWe 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?
If you are working the narcotics department and you don’t want to look like a cop or that you just walked out of boot camp, we understand, but being situationally aware is far more importantant than worrying about what other people think of you.     The Eotac Style 502 Field Jacket is a modernized CCW tactical jacket that has that vintage look, especially if you go for that lizard patter camo.   The pockets are designed for carrying modern flashlights, phones, knives ect and won’t be as clumsy to use compared to military surplus jackets.   Check out the Style 103 Field vest also that is basically the same desing, but without sleeves.    One thing you have to remember about this jacket though is it is a jacket and not a coat, it is also not a firearms retention device and not meant to carry a large gun in the pockets.   We do get customers that order these and seem to think that because it is a CCW style jacket that it means you can put a gun in it.   We’d recommend worrying about a different holster design than trying to conceal a firearm in this.

Tactical Pants Blowout

Woolrich Elite PantsThe 4904 Cargo pants were originally designed for operators that migth be in the seated position and find it easier to pull a wallet or accessory from an ankle pocket rather than reach into hand pockets.  Try sitting in a car and pull your keys out of your pocket, then try them from your ankle if you had a pocket down there.   We have mostly 4904 OD Green pants at a blowout deal for $25.00 a pair, we do have a few Khaki and Black pants left but not many.

Woolrich Elite pants are one of the highest quality pants on the market.    They don’t shrink like some of the 5.11 pants do and you can feel the difference in the weight even though 5.11 pants usually say they are the same weight.    We have an over stock of the Woolrich Elite Pants which are the same pocket desings as the Style 4429 pants are except they have a lower ankle pocket  on each leg.

Casual wear for concealment

Woolrich Elite ShirtsThe Woolrich Elite tactical polos come in short sleeve and long sleeve styles.   The shoulder pocket design is the same on both versions.   In winter time, everyone will wish they had a decent long sleeve shirt that will be slightly warmer to wear with a nice shoulder pocket that is large enough to hold a notepad or blackberry phone and pen pocket.   Woolrich Elite Shirts are designed for Law Enforcement and firearms instructors and concealement.

Lightweight shirts like the 4450 style shirt and 4445 style shirt are great for summer wear and are the lightest weight Woolrich Elite Shirts for hot climates.  They are designed after the popular Guayabera shirt.    The front lower button is a false button and has a magnet that breaks open easily and closes almost entirely by itself.

Tactical Apparel

Woolrich EliteWoolrich Elite products are some of the most durable tactical apparel pants out there.   Their  tactical pants are long lasting and don’t shrink like some of the 5.11 stuff that so many people have complained about.  5.11 products are interesting, but the tactical pants they have been making are apparently taking a major downturn in the quality control arena.  Woolrich has been in the clothing business for over 100 years and one thing you have to acknowledge is they know how to make clothing.
Woolrich Elite tactical shorts style 4905 have pockets similiar to the 4429 and 4904 styles but a slightly smaller cargo pocket.   These have a longer inseam than some shorts, 9″ but are very comfortable especially when carrying lots of gear in the pockets.   Some of the lightweight shorts don’t seem to support carrying much weight and are really only good for wearing and not hauling.

Concealment, Comfort and the tactical appeal

Tactical VestsEveryone 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.

The Eotac Style 101 Tactical vest is probable the most versatile and sensible vests you will get your hands on.   The pockets are designed for modern weapons and gear and that is something you will want to research before you spent $75-$200 for the other styles out there.   Some of the tactical vests made by Sig Tac and 5.11 weren’t designed for Magpuls and that is only something you’ll find out whenever you’re getting serious about the gear you have.   If you are training or using modern Magpul magazines with the magpul, you’ll basically make any older style vest useless if you can’t close the magazine pocket.   The Eotac vest has extended velcro designs that will allow you to easily adapt the flap to standard 30rd AR magazines or Magpuls.

Work shirts for concealment

Tactical ShirtsIt doesn’t get any better than this for those of you working in the blue collar neighborhoods or that actually could get away with wearing one of these at work.   The Eotac Style 409 Mechanic shirt is one of the most original concealment and tactical shirts we’ve seen this year.   There are plenty of uniform tactical shirts out there from 5.11, Woolrich Elite, Proper ect. but this one takes concealment into a different niche.

The Eotac Mechanic shirt can make you look like a pizza delivery person, auto mechanic or a plumber or you can customize a name and sew it onto the shirt.    These are great ways to blend in or upgrade your traditional work clothes for tactical shirts that make accessing a firearm much easier.   The two lower buttons on the shirt are fall and with a quick motion of the hand the shirt will lift up and reduce the chances of snagging on anything will retrieving your weapon.  The Mechanic concealment shirt comes in Black, Gray and Navy.
