5.11 Now shipping to the UK

[Dangermouse]

5.11 Is a tactical clothing and accessories manufacturer who are based in the USA (Although much of their gear is not manufactured in the USA).

I have bought numerous 5.11 items in the past and strongly recommend them. Until now you either bought through USA Ebay, and suffered the consequences if anything went wrong, as I did, or pay the UK dealers price.

I am pleased to say that 5.11 is now shipping to the UK and appear to have set up a UK based web page. No idea where the items are coming from but at first glance prices are between the advertised USA price and those charged by the UK dealers.

I had some 5.11 boots, superb quality but just too warm in anything other than the coldest days.

Edgar Bros are the 511 UK importers

From the wording of the email that I received, it looks like 5.11 have "done their legs", it certainly states that 5.11 now ships international. I might be wrong, it could be a cunning sales tactic to route you through to your nearest authorised dealer, but I am not convinced.
We will know when we try to purchase something that comes with a free gift - the UK dealers tend not to get them / pass them on.

Edgars used to be the importer, but as DM said, they dropped them when 5.11 decided to ship internationally. Incidently, EB import Blackhawk instead....

I'm a big 5.11 user and have more of their kit than I'd care to admit to......
