    Default 5.11 overseas shipping

    Does anyone have a good (cheap) place to buy 5.11 tactical pants that ships overseas. In Sweden they are $85 which is a bit steep.

    I don't think you can get them a lot cheaper if you include the shipping costs.

    Normally, 5.11 doesn't sell overseas!
    But go on UsCav and lot of others websites!

    We buy big stocks for use in our company at tacticalcenturion.com

    But try to get a direct connection to a dealer. Much safer and less taxes.

    Awhile ago I got stabbed in the thigh, and he tried to slash my leg wide open. He punctured my pants,and then the material bunched up and stopped the blade. The surgeon said it was 1mm away from the bone and 3mm away from my big arterie or whatever and that if the blade had done any more damage than it did I'd have died from bleeding out.

    it sucked, they were my favorite pair!

    MP SEC do 511 in Sweden i think, by the time you buy from US and import pretty much the same

    everything is cheaper in the US

    i tried to buy some 511 gear on special on their site [ really cheap]
    but would not take my order and directed me to UK Supplier [ who has old stock at full price]


    You need a pal in the USA to ship to and then ship to you , maybe

    Hell, if I open my range, all my employees are going to wear 'em. Nothing better than clothes would good pockets that are comfortable and they look nice.

    Just the L.E. stuff though.

    I have two pairs of the 5.11 tactical pants (Nylon Canvas). Beats similar models from for example Dunderdon in functionality, materials, and durability. The fit (as in how they look on you) could be better though it is pretty good now. Really comfortable, wear them all the time.

    The prices could be lower, that model costs 70 € and the cotton ones are 60 €. So I suppose that is what you get from living in the nordic countries... Small market and high shipping costs.
