5.11 Tactical's New Gear and Apparel for 2020 [SHOT Show 2020]
In this episode of TFBTV’s SHOT Show coverage, James of TFBTV goes over 5.11’s new gear for 2020 with Meghan of 5.11. From Tom R.’s article on the new gear at SHOT (https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2020/01/26/shot-2020-511-tactical-all-the-things/):
“5.11 Tactical brought an imperial ton of things to SHOT this year. Everything from footwear to headlamps to products for your vehicle to a new RUSH pack. The worst part is that the products are set to trickle out over the year, so don’t RUSH out to your favorite 5.11 store quite yet (see what I did there?).
RUSH100
The most significant product premiered was the new RUSH100, a new big brother to the RUSH72 (which has been a ubiquitous range bag and bug out bag for years). Aside from the base model name, it doesn’t really share much DNA with the rest of the RUSH line. We will get a review sample later this year (when they release likely 3rd Quarter) for a more detailed look, and if it is relevant will do a post. I can see use as a bag for schlepping gear and guns at competitions, especially some of the long rifle endurance events.
MSRP: $264.99
Response Headlamps
5.11 is debuting two new aluminum body headlamps, the Rapid HL and Response HL XR1. The Rapid HL Headlamp is 200 lumens when using a single AA alkaline battery, or 330 lumens when using a 14500 rechargeable li-ion battery. The Response HL XR1 is nearly 1000 lumens (when used in “peak spot mode”) and uses either CR123 or 18650 batteries.
Rapid HL MSRP $54.99.
Response HL XR1 MSRP $84.99.
Vehicle Ready (VR) HEXGRID Panels
The HEXGRID Panels (both a seat and headrest version) are a new vehicle product that allows for multi-angle load-bearing and accessory arrangement. Both versions of the panel (seat and headrest) feature a full loop face that provides placement for any accessory backed with hook (or with a hook-sided accessory attachment they also have).
The Seat Platform features an adjustable headrest strap and removable side seat straps, and it comes with a quick-release padded seat wedge for secure attachment to either the front or rear of the driver or passenger seat. It comes with a zippered mesh pouch that can be used to store accessories or to pack up the panel.
Seat Panel MSRP $44.99.
Headrest Panel MSRP $14.99.
A.T.L.A.S. Footwear
The final big reveal was their new line of footwear, the A.T.L.A.S. (All Terrain Load Assistance System). It launched with a Trainer, Mid-Boot, and 8-inch boot (also available with side zip option).
The soles and footbeds are a system that provides stability and comfort for carrying heavy loads and with the ability to return some of that compression energy. They are also extremely grippy and should resist slipping in wet and slick environments. They come in Black and Dark Coyote.
I got a pair of the trainers to try out while rucking, so we shall see how the manage miles and bricks–they are available now.
5.11 A.T.L.A.S. Trainer MSRP $119.99
5.11 A.T.L.A.S. MID Boot MSRP $139.99
5.11 A.T.L.A.S. 8-inch Boot MSRP $149.99
Other Stuff…
5.11 also featured a bunch of clothing, including jackets, gloves, and pants, as well as a new collaborative knife line (both a fixed and folding variant) with Doug Marcaida (of Forged in Fire fame). These will be available later this year.

You gotta be OUT OF YOUR MIND & WAY MORE APEALING, to get me to spend $69 or $85 on a pair of Damn Pants!!!…WOW…Keep Dreaming 511….!!! my Carhart and Dickies work just fine, for $15-$20!!!
If 5.11 spent less on marketing, they might be able make a product that doesn’t disintegrate while wearing it. I guess it takes an MBA to think that foam soles that dissolve in the elements is a good idea. If you want to buy cheap Chinese products that actually work, Walmart’s Ozark brand is a better option, unless you identify with paying tactiqueer premiums of course.
Is there a 5.11 rep that I can consult with?
Are they low cuts for women?
unfortunate that it is NOT made in the USA. Made in China, Vietnam.
Have to admit I really struggle to concentrate on the products when Meghan is presenting she’s that beautiful.
Huge fan of 511 but we don’t have access in western part of Nepal…
And Meghan is even more incredible in person 😍😍😍
I want one…
Anyone else think James railed this chick
I really need to hit your Irvine store and do some shopping after the Pan(dem)ic.
I’m buying the bag
Shit. Y’all should just date. Get your current wife to bring her in and it won’t be cheating
It’s cool. I’m like the video.
Lucky he sold it for you….. cos you are not that good.
What does the rush 100 have over an eberlestock? Not much cheaper and definitely not as much of a history. It may have it in the weight category🤔.
5.11, please move manufacturing out of China.
these kinda women are the coolest
I wish California could host shows like this in the same way they host rap concerts 😑
Also you need more womens shoes like the one he loves
Fuck she is smokin’ hot
Wish that pack was in storm grey
A lot of thirsty 40 year old virgin men here. 🤣
She could sell a Eskimo ice water and he would beg for more ice water. Please don’t tell my wife that .
You two will make a lovely couple…..mmmmm.
My dudes face when she says 69.99!!!😂
I wanna see a video of Megan driving that Tacoma off-road somewhere
4:38
He ain’t looking at the camera…
*He’s using his peripherals!*
Are those seat covers by 5.11 too??
Where are the norris sneakers on the multicam black? They arent anywhere on their website.
the 511 clothing is great and fits to my body just great thankyou 511 tactical everything is great .
So if you if you ever do a video with Megan again please just stay out of the side.
I’m thinking that Rush 100 pack looks pretty heavy, even when empty
Meghan is so beautiful… Oh and cook shoes too
5.11 made any where but America. And overpriced. I bought some of there stuff years ago. No more. boycott
They are banging
عز ياربعي عتابه حتى في دول الغرب صيتكم موجود
Sorry James but I think when you talked about Smirnoff Ice she looked at you as if you were the female in the conversation
The fucking look from 69.99
Half the time it looked to me like dude was trolling. But not regular trolling. Pua trolling.
Notice he never took his sunglasses off lol!!!
Why does James like his shorts so short…, side note this chick is hot
Did they say no more Defender Flex Jeans?
bika bika bow bow
Notice his face when she said 69.99….
Damn, I wish I had hair like hers.
seriously why do all you companies make such stupid short short shorts?? in seam shouldn’t be any less than 15".. you’d get a huge sale with that
Absolutely wonderful. Megan has a wonderful sense of humor! I love it. Semper Fi, OUT…
Kim Possible is that you? 👀
Ready for what?
