The Covrt Select Carry Pistol Pouch is a discreet and durable concealed carry solution. Made from 500D nylon, the main compartment includes a Tactec CCW loop panel with weapon retention strap, trigger guard loops, lockable YKK zippers, and Hot-Pull tabs.  A rear and front compartment allows for extra magazines and other critical gear.

Rush Sierra One Pack

5.11’s most popular pack collection, the Rush Series, is expanding to offer a new duty-ready and high-capacity option in the Rush Sierra One Pack ($330).

Measuring 36.5 inches high, 12.5 inches wide and 10 inches deep, this pack is designed to be an all-in-one containment system for a rifle, tripod, helmet, and other critical gear. Two large side access zippers and an internal adjustable reinforced divider allow for easy retention, access, and a customized load out. 

A custom removable aluminum frame with HDPE board and horizontal fiberglass stability rods in addition to a load-bearing hip belt and load lifters ensure users can comfortably and effectively carry large payloads. Storage options include external MOLLE, dual front zippered pockets, a top zippered pocket, and a stowable mesh helmet holder with quick-release buckles. Additional features include top and side grab handles, compression straps, and quick-release shoulder straps. The 500D nylon body and 1050D nylon base ensure it is sturdy enough to handle any mission and terrain.

QR Collection

After the successful debut of the QR Plate Carrier at SHOT Show 2023, 5.11 introduced several new items to the QR collection in 2024.

The QR Plate Carrier Base ($165) features the patented 5.11 Sierra Bravo Slide quick-release buckle for easy don and doff, custom high-strength TAC-LAM laminate laser-cut MOLLE webbing, and patented GrabDrag handle for exfiltration.  Hypalon shoulder straps with removable padded shoulder shrouds and stretch woven body panels provide comfort with a low profile, while front and rear MOLLE panels and webbing loops allow for maximum customization.

Building on the QR Plate Carrier Base, the QR PC Cummerbund ($55) and QR PC Soft Armor Cummerbund ($60) can be added depending on the mission requirements. 

Both cummerbunds feature the patented 5.11 Sierra Bravo Slide buckles and an adjustable rear hook/loop system. 

The QR PC Cummerbund’s Hypalon + loop laminate with square laser cut MOLLE provides a minimal option with stability and breathability. 

The QR PC Soft Armor Cummerbund accommodates standard level IIIA soft armor or 6x6 and 6x8 hard plates with a removable adapter.  A 2-inch front side overlap, TAC-LAM laser-cut MOLLE panel, and rear hook/loop attachment with a secondary securing cord system level up this cummerbund for those that need more protection or additional gear attachment.

MOLLE Attachments

Add extra customization to your plate carrier or MOLLE panel with the Modular STS Placard ($50) and Modular Mini Pouch ($45).

The Modular STS Placard utilizes quick attach side release buckles and hook platform for easy connection to plate carriers.  The patent-pending Smart Track System provides a platform for 5.11’s custom divider panels and bungee retention system.  An internal loop-lined compartment accommodates hook/loop accessories. External laser cut MOLLE and elastic bands offer accessory attachments for enhanced versatility. The Modular Mini Pouch is a 5-in-1 pouch featuring multiple configurations with the included removable flap, zipper top, internal divider, and pouch bungee kit compatibility.  The MiniMOLL MOLLE attachment system provides a low-profile attachment to a plate carrier, placard, or MOLLE panel.

Belts

The Duty and Battle Belt Lines are becoming more versatile with additional add-on options in the Inner EDC Belt ($30) and Nonslip Outer Belt System ($25).

The Inner ECD Belt is designed to be both universal and versatile with a loop face and elastic connector that allows it to be used with any outer belt. Plus, with 840D nylon construction with a TPU inner face, it is as durable as it is convenient. The low-profile construction, materials, and ergonomic curve provide a comfortable fit while the strap closure system allows for quick and easy adjustments.

The Nonslip Outer Belt System is a removable adapter that easily attaches to the inside of an outer belt for customized carrying options. The non-slip inner material keeps the belt system in place and eliminates the need for a loop-faced innerbelt while the closed-cell foam padding and ergonomic curve provide extra comfort.

The new AYCE Belt ($35) is a low-profile 1.5-inch belt made for ultimate comfort and versatility. Its reversible elastic webbing with stretch properties and micro-adjustability makes it a one-size-fits-most option that keeps garments in place without limited mobility. Offered with solid-color interiors and graphic-rich exteriors, it offers a custom look to go with its custom fit and feel.
