5.11 Tactical has been a staple in police clothing for more than 30 years. As noted in April’s à“From The Editor,à“ 5.11 is entering theàœEMS and fire markets this summer. One standout item is the Sabre Jacket, which features a laminated, three-layer micro-polyester shell that’s lightweight, durable, windproof, waterproof and breathable. The Sabre offers exceptional protection against water and other weather elements because of its welded seams and watertight YKK zippers. A removable hood snaps on the collar and can be stowed in a special rear pocket. Underarm zippers can be opened for more ventilation. Concealed ID panels on the front and back of the jacket can be imprinted or removed, and six external pockets give you plenty of options for stowing gear.
