I seriously couldn’t live without cargo pants. At any given time, I’ll have at least 4 pockets filled with random stuff. But no pockets? How do you even survive?

    511 pants were originally meant for mountaineering type stuff

    I thought 5.11 was aimed at people who concealed carry (no pun intended), or who just want to feel tacticool.

      The name comes from mountain difficulty classifications. 5 being the tallest, 10 being the most difficult.

      It was because they were hard wearing and had … pockets…. That cops picked them up, and then, all the tactilool wannabes came.
