This episode is sponsored by a company I've literally been using for over 15 years now,

and that is 511.

Now, my introduction to their products began when I started wearing 511 uniforms years ago for Anaheim Fire Department.

And since then, I have acquired a host of their backpacks and luggage, which have literally

been around the world with me.

The backpack where I keep all my recording equipment is a

511 backpack and then most of my civilian gear, the clothes that I wear are also 511. Now more recently

they've actually branched out into the brick and mortar stores. So for example Gainesville where I do

Jiu-Jitsu has a beautiful 511 store. So if you are a fire department, a law enforcement agency,

you now have access to an entire inventory of clothing and equipment in these 5-11 stores.

Now, I've talked about the range of shoes they have and how important minimizing weight in our footwear is

when it comes to our back health, knee health, etc.

I've talked about their unique uniforms that are fitted for either male or female footwear is when it comes to our back health, knee health, etc. I've talked about their unique

uniforms that are fitted for either male or female first responders. And then I want to highlight

one new area, their Cloud Strike packs. For those of you who enjoy hiking, this would even be an

application, I believe, for the wildland community. They've created an ultra-light pack now with a hydration

system built in for rucking, running or other long-distance events.

Now, as always, 5-11 is offering you the audience of the Behind the Shield podcast 15% of

every purchase that you make.

So if you use the code Shield 15, that's S-H-E-L-D-1-5, at 511 Tactical.com,

you will get that 15% off every single time. So if you want to hear more about 5-E-11 and their

origin story, go to episode 338 of Behind the Shield podcast with their CEO Francisco Morales.
