“We have a goal to offer dependable gear that our customers can trust for all aspects and missions in their lives and that lives up to our Purpose-Built Gear motto,” said Francisco J. Morales, 5.11’s CEO. “That goal, in addition to customer requests and feedback, led to the design of these new products that customers can depend on when they’re joined by their K9s, whether that’s for a weekend adventure or an active patrol.”

Mission Ready Dog Harness

The Mission Ready Dog Collection was created with active dogs in mind and is highlighted by the Mission Ready Dog Harness.

Built with lightweight 330D nylon, a padded chest panel, and adjustable straps, it was designed to offer comfort for any dog. Meanwhile, a low-profile quick-release buckle, dual V-ring attachment points, a grab handle, and a MOLLE loop panel offer added convenience for users.

Mission Ready Dog Collar

Dog owners seeking a dependable collar can look to the Mission Ready Dog Collar, the company said. It’s constructed with nylon webbing, a low-profile Duraflex side release buckle, and an aluminum V-ring for leash attachment that combines to offer long-lasting reliability.

Mission Ready Leashes

The Mission Ready Dog Collection is rounded out by two leashes.

The Mission Ready Modular Dog Leash is built with 1-inch nylon webbing and a tubular webbing bungee system with a metal swivel hook for added flexibility and up to 7 feet of length. It can be used in handheld or waistband configurations with a padded handle and side release buckle that attaches to an accessory loop.

The Mission Ready Dog Leash offers 5 feet of 1-inch nylon webbing with a metal swivel hook for attachment. A padded neoprene handle, accessory loop, and secondary handle are incorporated to create added comfort and capabilities.

Aros K9 Collection

The Aros K9 Collection was built with input from professional K9 handlers to ensure functionality and reliability in even the most demanding situations.

The Aros K9 Harness features a low-profile and minimalistic design that allows a free range of motion for K9s while the padded chest panel and adjustable straps distribute weight evenly to reduce strain and provide a comfortable, secure fit. Durability is ensured by nylon webbing with reinforced construction, a metal V-ring, and an AustriAlpin Cobra buckle.

Additional features include a lay-flat grab handle for maximum control and a removable loop ID panel.

The Aros K9 Collar 1.0 offers a D-ring attachment point while the Aros K9 Collar 1.5 includes a metal V-ring for attachment. Additionally, the Aros K9 Collar 1.5 is designed with a lay-flat grab handle for maximum control from a minimal profile.
