what is 5.11 store

5.11 Tactical is an American apparel brand that produces outdoor clothing, footwear, uniforms, and tactical equipment. The company primarily targets the market of military, law enforcement, and public safety personnel. The name "5.11" comes from the highest rock climbing difficulty level that was listed in the Yosemite Decimal System, which was developed by Robbins in the 1950s. The difficulty level is somewhat jokingly defined as, "after thorough inspection, you conclude this move is obviously impossible; however, occasionally someone actually accomplishes it". As of September 2020, 5.11 Tactical operates a chain of 82 retail stores across 27 states in the United States, as well as overseas branches in Germany, Australia, Mexico, Bahrain, Mainland China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, and the Philippines.
