Try 5.11 Tactical For Last-Minute Gifts This Holiday Season
Are you struggling as I am to find those last-minute gifts this holiday season? Well, here are some ideas from 5.11 Tactical.
Tactical Pen For A Last-Minute Gift
The Kubaton Tactical Pen features a rugged aluminum body with aggressive jimping for a pummel grip. It’s a great idea for a last-minute gift or stocking stuffer.
Aside from its possible utility as a backup self-defense tool, don’t forget that its primary function is as a writing instrument. Its one-piece design means there’s no cap to lose.
You twist to pen the medium black pressurized ink cartridge.When the ink cartridge eventually needs to be replaced, this pen can accept a Fisher PR series, Rite in the Rain 37R, 47R, 57R or a Schmidt EasyFlow 9000 series cartridge. The pen is 5.4 inches long. This pen sells for $29.99.
Light It Up With The Rapid PL1AA
Another one of those last-minute gifts suitable for everyone is the Rapid PL1AA LED flashlight from 5.11 Tactical. It’s compact at just 4.24 inches long and it weighs just 2.53 ounces with the single AA battery that powers it. Or you can power it with a 14500 rechargeable lithium ion battery. The bidirectional pocket clip provides additional mounting options to attach to your clothing, hat, or gear to be ready for anything the darkness brings. The light provides up to 330 lumens with a lithium rechargeable battery or up to 190 lumens with the included AA alkaline battery. This flashlight offers three output modes: high, low and strobe. It’s constructed of machined aluminum. It sells for $34.99.
Vehicle Ready Hexgrid Seat Platform
When you need to organize the gear in your vehicle to keep in handy and securely in place, the Vehicle Ready Hexgrid Seat Platform is a great idea. Basically it’s a web-like loop face panel that straps either to the front or rear of your seat back to provide multi-angle load bearing for pouches and other gear you might want to attach to it. It features an adjustable headrest strap and removable side seat straps.
There is a quick release padded seat wedge for secure attachment to either the front or rear of the driver or passenger seat. A zippered mesh pouch is included to store accessories or to pack it all up so you can have your setup ready to go wherever you go. If you’re shopping for last-minute gifts for me, it sells for $44.99.
