The brand is known for selling high quality outdoor clothing, footwear, uniforms, and tactical equipment, largest target is military, law enforcement and public safety personnel. But even if that's not you, they've got some pretty sharp clothes.

The name "5.11" comes from the highest rock climbing difficulty level that was listed in the Yosemite Decimal System, which was developed by Robbins in the 1950s.^[5] The difficulty level is somewhat jokingly defined as, "after thorough inspection, you conclude this move is obviously impossible; however, occasionally someone actually accomplishes it"

The new store will be located at 4801 South Broadway Avenue Suite #102A, which is near The Broadway Square Mall.

Celebrate 5.11 Tactical's Grand Opening on Saturday, August 19. Enjoy 20% off your entire purchase and more. 5.11 Tactical is located between Homegoods and Party City. - Broadway Square Mall
