Pant Innovation 

Last year, 5.11 saw tremendous success with the release of the APEX and Stryke TDU pants, both of which sold out after their introduction. To design both products, 5.11 worked closely with top tier operators to co-create the next evolution of versatile tactical pants. While the APEX is a low-visibility pant with full tactical features, the Stryke TDU is an agile mission-ready pant. 5.11 continues to innovate their product line in 2016 with the release of the Traverse Pant 2.0. Traverse Pant 2.0: The next iteration of 5.11’s lightweight, ultra-flexible pant is constructed of a quick-drying, breathable 4-way stretch fabric. Featuring articulated knees and a fully-gusseted inseam and durable water repellent finish, the Traverse 2.0 pant provides a wide range of movement and durability and is available in tundra, khaki, black and storm (grey). Ten pockets, including some with zip closure, offer optimal gear management.

Purpose-Built Packs

The Havoc is made from highly resilient nylon and incorporates quick access waist belt magazine pockets, zip secured double AR magazine/water bottle pockets and admin pockets providing plenty of storage options. The pack’s 1.5” waist belt is removable and holster compatible allowing for end-use customization. It is also fully compatible with 5.11 Tactical Zero-G Plates.
