Does anyone use 5.11 Tactical gear?

I'm considering their pants, shirts and
vests.

They make a quality product. I use their vest nearly ever weekend for IDPA and after three years is still looks new. Their pants are solid too.

I use the the pants and vests. Good quaility and durable.

I really like the shorts, NOT THE ACADEMY SHORTS, the regular shorts. I have 2 vests. I got a deal on some of the Marine cammo pants and dyed them they came out OK. The stiching doesn't take dye though.

I wear their pants and shorts seven days a week. I wear their vests for IDPA matches.

I love their vest and pant.
I also got some of their boot laces. Pretty awesome!

Pants are great, especially with the kneepad inserts for ground work.

What makes their stuff so popular?
I looked at it and couldn't see any advantages to their clothing line.
