| 5.11 started off as Royal Robbins. An American company that makes climbing products. 5.11 means a rating for climbing. Their quality used to be top notch but lately they've been on the decline and their prices have been rising.
They make good gear but their clothing line just isn't what it used to be....
I think Maxpedition and Spec-Ops makes far better gear.
I have two of their boots designs and also a couple of their tactical polos. The boots are okay but they fall apart easily. The tactical polos are great if you get them in white since white doesn't fade. Their darker color ones fade quickly.
