Frequently asked questions

tactical shirtsWe 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 it’s that hot

Tactical PantsWhen it’s that hot out that your risking dehydration, you seriously need to consider the type of clothing you are wearing.   Those wearing body armor or carrying more gear than the usually CCW gun owner need as many pockets as possible.  Trading your tactical pants in for tactical shorts that have almost the same pocket designs is hard to find.    There is also a very diverse opinion on the inseams of the shorts that people wear and there’s no real in between.

Eotac is now making their tactical shorts in a 7 1/2 inch inseam and a 9 inch.   The fit in the seat is the same as the pants and the hand pockets and back pocket designs are exactly the same.   There are no side cargo pockets, but the face of the shorts have the same useful pockets as all of the Eotac tactical pants.  You can put a 20rd AR15 magazine in this pocket or something like a Kimber Guardian.   The hand pockets have that deep wide design that can fit a large set of keys or firearm.   The lightweight cotton ripstop design will keep you as cool as you can possible be.

As the weather warms up

Tactical ShirtsThe Style 403 has a single pocket on the upper left of the shirt that can hold sunglasses or lightweight gear.   See our sizing guide for your check and waste measurements.    These shirts tend to run a little longer to help conceal gear at the belt line.   Both the 403 and 4 pocket 404 shirt are available in Black, Natural, Light blue, Red and yellow.   I would recommend trying atleast 3 colors to add to your wardrobe.   With a shirt as lightweight like this, I wouldn’t hesitate to try the black shirts for summer carry.

Consider trying on one of the lightest weight conceal carry shirts you can wear.     The Eotac styles 403 and 404 Tropical shirts are as lightweight and breatheable as a t-shirt yet they are more stylish and appropriate for CCW than a Iron Maiden T-shirt at your cousins college graduation.   The front bottom button is  a false button and breaks open to make this CCW shirt a lightweight tactical shirt that allows you to access a firearm or gear without the fear of snagging.

Tactical Pants with a Warranty

Tactical PantsWell, 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.

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.

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.

Tactical Pants for Women

Eotac ClothingEotac is about to launch their first run on their 702 Lightweight tactical pants for women.   For women that work in the security forces or for law enforcement, this will be something to get your hands on.   Many women working in this line of work usually are forced to find men’s tactical clothing that fits them well enough to get through the day.    We’ve heard from a lot of women that wore other tactical women’s pants and the complaints are still coming in.

Elite Operator Tactical or mostly known as Eotac, are an aggressive new tactical apparel company that are backed by the Corporation Cerebus that owns Remington, DPMS, Bushmaster and even Marlin Firearms.   There’s a pretty good chance that Eotac will be the primary competitor to 5.11 Tactical in the coming years.   We are expecting the Style 702 Women’s Operator Grade Lightweight Tactical Pants to be coming in in late March or early April 2010.   These pants went through extensive testing and designing and considering the Men’s line of Eotac clothing, we’re expecting great things from Eotac that are meant for Women in the coming years.

Fit and manueverability

Tactical PantsEotac has several pants styles that may look like 5.11 knock offs or something that you thought you saw coming from Woolrich Elite a few years ago, but the reality is you will feel the difference in manueverability and flexability when you’re wearing them.   We had a few customers say they preferred a competitors pants since they had more room in them for sitting and kneeling, but the reality is Eotac Pants were stitched and designed so the pants move with the body and they were designed for operators that are getting off the ground and working from standing, kneeling and squatting.  Think about all of the firing positions an operator with a Carbine can get in, now try doing that with Levi’s jeans, 5.11 pants, Woolrich Elite and then try it with the Eotac Pants and get back to us.

We’ve been able to watch the tactical clothing market grow over the last decade and we’ve seen big companies go from owning the business to dealing with real competition.   Due to the nature of the War on Terror, there is demand for clothing that is not BDU looking but has lots of uses for military and combat purposes.   Tactical Pants aren’t just about what they can hold.   Everyone has a different idea of what they need for their job, but putting tons of gear in your pockets can be done with a pair of pants that just has big pockets.

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.
