Tactical Apparel
This shirt design has become a popular uniform for those not looking to wear BDUs while in the field. They and shirts designed similiarly are extremely popular with those working security details in Iraq and Afghanistan and even down in South America. Each shirt is available in sizes S-3X, and colors choices of Black, Khaki, Sage, and Navy Blue.
Woolrich Elite Shirts have been on the tactical apparel market and are some of the finest quality clothing. The Style 4901 and Style 4902 shirts you will have a 3 piece ventilated back for keeping the body cool with a more durable shirt design for those working in the security or law enforcement. The style 4901 is the short sleeve shirt and style 4902 long sleeve. Both shirts have identical pocket designs and each has a left side pen pocket. It often amazes me at how many people inquire about having pockets that securely hold a pen.
What else is new about this shirt? This new polo shirt has unique sleeve designs giving you a better range of motion without feeling your shirt move around. The combination of raglan sleeves, one piece underarm gusset and side panels, and our Eotac’s Tact-Fit Sizing means unique comfort. If you’ve been looking for a lighterweight polo shirt from Eotac, this is what you waited for. The Style 410 Polo will be available in, Black, Khaki, Navy, Red, Light blue, Royal Blue, Grey, Hunter Green, and the much waited for…. White Polo.
Eotac pants have been on the market for almost a year now. One of the most popular tactical pants is the Style 201 Operator pants. These pants are hands down one of the most practical tactical pants you can find on the market. You may even find that these pants are so well designed and comfortable you almost won’t need to wear a tactical vest since the pocket designs will allow you to hold up to six 30rd AR/M16 magazines in the pockets. These pants are made of 100% cotton rip stop and have a gusseted grotch for extra strength. It may be funny to read about someone talking about how the crotch on a pair of tactical pants are re-enforced, but if you’re in hot climates, you’ll need lightweight clothing and durability is always an issue for the lightweight stuff.
The Eotac zip up shirt is also very popular amongst firearm instructors because the back is mesh lined vented bi-swing which provides you with freedom of movement and maximum air flow. Many of our customers that work on the training courses like the ability to zip it down just because it gets hot. The front left pocket has a pen pocket as well as the left shoulder sleeve. On the long sleeve 402 version you can roll up and button the sleeves is it is warming up on you. If you are a firearm instructor this is the shirt you should have in your closet.
There are four large cargo pockets on the front of the vest. They feature side bellows and drain holes at the bottom of the pockets, elastic webbing on the inside to secure smaller items like magazines or a flashlight, and tuckable flaps w/adjustable snaps. The top pockets also each feature a vertical zippered Napoleon security pocket. The front of the vest secures with a two-way YKK zipper. There are four internal pockets with elastic loops for securing additional gear.
A few years ago Woolrich Elite launched their line of tactical apparel with the help of Backyard Outfitter, but after an internal squabble Fernando Coelho split off from the company and launched his own tactical apparel line named Eotac. I noticed a few people mention that most of the Eotac apparel looks like Phase II of the Woolrich Elite line, but there have been some major innovations. We’ve seen some of the new products coming out in 2010 and there seems to be some pretty aggressive steps in the tactical apparel and concealed carry market with the new Eotac line.
