I don’t have THIS but I have other 5.11 shirts. They’re typically true to size. For a sizing chart and other 5,11 gear, check out LA Police Gear.
@Gypsigirl213 Didn’t you see the Velcro and sleeve pocket??!! End of world stuff there! Armageddon comes it will just be you in this jacket and the cockroaches fighting a holy war of the last bag of Cheetos!
5.11 is a solid brand. I bought some of their running shorts last winter when they were clearing them out and they’ve held up fantastic for all the months I’ve been running in them.
@vaxick How quick are you typically going through running shorts?
I have running shorts I have regularly used for nineteen years and several thousand of miles. Granted, they are not in the best shape anymore, and are about due for replacement…
5.11 Tactical is a really good brand. I buy a lot of their stuff for work and honestly if they offered this in brown and I could wear it to work I’d buy 3
@pmcgrane just due to the color. At work the uniform color is brown. I have a similar jacket from them and I love it, usually they are much more expensive too, $50-80 normally
I can hardly remember what being cold is like. However, I certainly do not remember where I’ve stored all my sweaters and jackets for the past 4 years. Why is it 91 degrees in late October? Oh Cali.

@Stallion that was my immediate feeling too
@Stallion late 90s. High school me would have loved this.
Why does that man have no shoulders?
@therealjrn
Most of his freaking head is missing, and you’re worried about shoulders?
Tactical = velcro on the sleeve
Started to consider it, then saw the Velcro and noped (mehed?) out of there.
@nekohunter That’s for your tacticool patches!
Thunderbolts and lightning,
No I will not buy this thing!
Galli-meh-o!
Galli-meh-o!
Galli-meh-o!
GALLI-MEH-O OH HELL NO
@msayler Magnifico!
@msayler @ThunderChicken Mehnifico!
Is this Thunderbolt 3 or some loser Thunderbolt 2 leftovers?
I mean, it’ll plug into my Mac, right?
@TheFLP and charge your iphone with the built in tactical lightning dongle
I thought all zippers were tactical zippers, not too mention some are strategic, also.
@phendrick
The whole Thunderbolt thing is making me think “tactical zipper” is a euphemism for testicle zapper.
That jacket is a weapon on the eyes.
Will it give me +10 tactical abilities?
@jwoody27 yes, but all the points are deducted from your charisma stat
The half-zip pull-over is the ubiquitous FU of outerwear. Just let me full zip!
@Funkthulhu Agreed
This looks like what a movie would show people wearing in the year 2123.
@awk Yeah, a very really low-budget movie from the 1950’s.
@awk logan’s meh
/giphy logan’s run
You can’t miss with both Tactical and Thunderbolt. For your own safety you’d have to hang this bad boy outside and sleep with one eye open.
Anyone else see that it looks like a gin range target?? Could be why they are being liquidated…
@Mack Gin range? Is that anything like a pub crawl?
@Mack Train like you fight?
@ThunderChicken like a pub crawl but you have to move much faster
does anyone have these? I’m a 4xl in ralph lauren polo. do these run large?

Where are the brown and grey pants to complete the farmer’s overalls look?
Tactical? More like Tacticool
@Superllama7 tacti-coli
Ick.
That is some heckin’ unflattering geometry on the front of that pullover. If you’ve got a belly, don’t expect this thing to make it look any smaller.
@harveydanger Control top Spanx are coming up. Your patience will be rewarded.
@cadmore @harveydanger
However, per usual Meh, no tall, XXL, or v-necks will be available.
5.11 sounds like Dolby Atmos surround sound with sub.
Thundercougarfalconbolt
@numanoid That is some mother falcon gourmet shirt.
Somehow the name Tactical Thunderbolt makes me think of the Thunderbolt brooms from the Harry Potter series.
An Adidas tracksuit is the only true tactical wear.
@canneddirt Fuhgeddaboudit. They ain’t gonna get it.
What’s tactical about it?
@Gypsigirl213 the brand name is 5.11 Tactical
@Gypsigirl213 5.11 is a Tacticool clothing and accessory brand.

@MrMikenIkes why can’t you wear it to work?
@pmcgrane just due to the color. At work the uniform color is brown. I have a similar jacket from them and I love it, usually they are much more expensive too, $50-80 normally
@MrMikenIkes Don’t forget, Carrie wanted you to bring home a quart of milk. She’s working late and left dinner in the fridge for you and Arthur.
@MrMikenIkes @pmcgrane He works at UPS
I don’t know anything about this brand, but I want more stuff like this so I guess let’s find out!
The two tones makes this look like a fat guy in a little coat.
/giphy fat guy little coat
ONE pocket, eh? On the arm. Is there a matching fanny pack for all your “tactical” gear?
Eye brocoli. Don’t look directly at it. Something this hideous should only be viewed, at an angle, through a card board viewer.
5.11 makes good gear. If I didn’t have a million like this I’d jump on it. Kinda impressed they are offering this, this is usually $70+ easy.
If these look that bad on the model in the photo just imagine how they’ll look on your ugly ass.
@RedHot Duly noted
I’ve always wondered how I could get this short-jacket-to-keep-my-boobs-warm look but be tactical with it. Now I can!
@djslack that is one very well defined collar bone. Someone get that model a sandwich! Stat!
@djslack: there it is!
Amazing
I haven’t laughed this much all week!
Is the odd shoulder design supposed to function like the shooting patch on a shooting jacket, but ambidextrous?
For those of you looking at the purchaser map, it’s worth pointing out that it’s a cold, rainy day here in Maine.
Buy a Costco softshell full zip jacket for $23.
I can hardly remember what being cold is like. However, I certainly do not remember where I’ve stored all my sweaters and jackets for the past 4 years. Why is it 91 degrees in late October? Oh Cali.
Thank god it’s tactical. Got to have that!
I don’t like the tactics of this jacket…seems smarmy…
Something looks off with the design of this.
I need a jacket but i have to say no to this.
I love 5.11… but I only buy it when on sale cause it’s so spendy
Pretty certain that’s the most utilitarian (read: ugly) jacket this season.
Can it hold a pistol?
@Dengue there’s no pocket big enough for a gun, no.
@Dengue no
This is a steal of a price. Just wish that they had 2 colors in my size
I just got these. They seem very good!. At first the shoulders seem like bad paper, but eventually they warm up!
Says made in Vietnam.
I ordered XL and they fit me fine. I’m a normal man of 6’3".
