T he clothes I wear are an important part of my work as a full-time storm chaser. My clothes must be comfortable, functional, durable and look relatively professional when the day is done.

I recently had the opportunity to try out 5.11" Tactical Pants, Tactical Shorts and their 5.11 Tactical Vest."

5.11 Tactical Series clothing is often used by FBI agents and law enforcement. There is a good reason for this. The 5.11's are lightweight, but surprisingly durable and comfortable. The strategic design of cargo pockets, allow me to store all kinds of chase and photo gadgets.

In addition to the 5.11 Tactical Pants, they offer an excellent "photographer/adventure" (storm chasing) tactical vest. The vest is similar to the 5.11 pants. It's functional, comfortable, well made and it looks great.
