Innovation
On the outside, the vest resembles a photographer’s vest, but that’s where the similarities end. The 5.11 Tactical Vest holds an ample amount of gear and is long enough to both inconspicuously cover your belt-holstered firearm and conceal a weapon at the waist.

Storage
Only the 5.11 Tactical Vest features 18 specialized pockets, including chest pockets, two rifle or pistol magazine pockets, a 360˚ pocket that wraps around the entire vest interior, and rear water bottle or binocular pockets. There are places for your handgun, flashlight, radio, duty knife, maps, pens, important papers, snacks, cell phone, sunglasses and more. We’ve even included a key hook so you can locate your keys!

Versatility
Because the 5.11 Tactical Vest is compatible with 5.11’s Back-Up Belt System®, you can easily attach several BBS pouches which hold cuffs, holster, baton, mace or mags – to the vest interior. With the ambidextrous Back-Up Belt System®, you can comfortably distribute and balance your gear.

Functionality
For work, play and travel, count on the practical and proven 5.11 Tactical Vest for maximum functionality, comfort, value and innovation. There’s no need to carry separate gear bags. You can load up your vest, then wear as needed with the 5.11 Professional Polo or 5.11 Covert Casual Shirt and 5.11 Tactical Pant. Built to last, the versatile 5.11 Tactical Vest is one of the most practical, well-designed concealment garments in the industry.
