After the FBI National Academy began issuing the 5.11 Tactical Pant for training, the agency asked 5.11 Tactical to create a tactical vest. The vest had to be long enough to conceal a weapon, plus have the functionality to organize and carry plenty of gear. 5.11 Tactical listened to their needs and came up with the original 5.11 Tactical Vest. It delivers all the Academy asked for and is one of our best-sellers.
