5.11 Tactical is an American brand that specializes in outdoor clothing, footwear, uniforms, and tactical equipment. The company's primary market is military, law enforcement, and public safety personnel, but its durable and functional gear has also gained popularity among outdoor enthusiasts and the general public.
History
The company's origins can be traced back to the late 1960s with renowned rock climber Royal Robbins. He designed a pair of pants that were more durable and functional for climbing and named them "5.11" after a high level of climbing difficulty in the Yosemite Decimal System, which he helped develop. The difficulty level "5.11" is described as a move that "after thorough inspection, you conclude this move is obviously impossible; however, occasionally someone actually accomplishes it."
In 1999, entrepreneur Dan Costa bought a majority stake in Royal Robbins LLC. He noticed that the "5.11" pants were becoming popular at the FBI Academy and, in 2003, he founded a new company, 5.11 Tactical, to focus on the tactical and public safety market. The company worked with the FBI to develop a broader range of purpose-built apparel and gear. Since then, 5.11 Tactical has grown significantly, expanding its product line and establishing a large chain of retail stores.
