5.11 Tactical® has some great cold weather outdoor clothing. I took the opportunity this winter to put some of their offerings to the test.
The Cuffed Flag Bearer Beanie is a seamless knit design, 95% acrylic and 5% elastane that provides a snug fit and features an American flag loop patch. Unlike some other knit caps that don’t stay put, this one holds on and stays where you put it.
The Adventure Primaloft® Insulated Jacket is my new favorite for cold weather hiking and Nordic skiing. It’s lightweight and packable but warm enough for winter activities in the mountains without causing overheating.
The Cloudstrike 18L Pack is just the right size and weight for day hikes. I typically hike with a Rush 12 but sometimes it’s just a bit too big for quick hikes with minimal gear. The Cloudstrike 18L pack has ample room for carrying water, snacks, and a few emergency supplies. The front vest-style pockets are deep and perfect for carrying water bottles, tourniquets, and bear spray for grizzly-country.
The Cepheus Softshell Pant has a polyester/elastane double weave construction with Teflon™ coating to keep elements at bay. For me, the water-resistance and slight elasticity are ideal for winter applications like snowshoeing and skiing.
5.11 Tactical continues to supply high-performance products for the outdoors. They are good people who support the Military, Law Enforcement, and Armed Citizens.
