LAS VEGAS, Jan. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SHOT SHOW®
(Booth #13162) -- 5.11 Tactical®, the global innovator in
tactical apparel and gear, today expands its line of tactical and
stylish gear and apparel designed for women, by women.
"5.11 takes women's styles and fits, and we build in tactical
features," said Tiffany Yerby,
5.11's director of design. "It begins with the Flex-Tac fabrics we
use at 5.11. They have stretch, and I don't know a woman on this
planet that doesn't want stretch in her pants."
During the design process, 5.11 reverse engineers the most
popular women's silhouettes from the fashion runway and builds in
tactical DNA. This ensures functionality, durability and comfort in
fashion forward clothing and gear for tactically-minded women.
5.11 continues to expand its women's line as the demand grows. A
2015 report from the National Sporting Goods Association found that
5.4 million women said they went target shooting. That's up 60
percent since 2001.
