5.11 Tactical Announces NEW Mission Ready Dog & AROS K9 Collections

When it comes to “kitting” ourselves out with the best gear possible we go to great lengths to research, test, and research again what might be the best for us. From the firearms we carry to the matching socks we don at the range (it matters), we ensure that we have the highest-speed, lowest-drag equipment possible. So, why not pour that same effort into the tools and gear we outfit man’s best friend with? At AllOutdoor, we are not the only ones who believe we should pamper and equip our pups, the good folks at 5.11 Tactical agree. In fact, today they have debuted their Mission Ready™ Dog and AROS K9 Collections that include harnesses, collars, and leashes. This refined set of dog accessories is meant to give your fur missile the best experience possible, whether you are going for a simple walk around the block or your dog is your partner and you’re apprehending criminals on the daily. Whatever the case may be, take a look at some discerningly good dog gear via 5.11’s Mission Ready™ Dog and AROS K9 Collections below.

The Mission Ready™ Dog Collection was created with active dogs in mind and is highlighted by the Mission Ready™ Dog Harness ($45).

The Mission Ready™ Dog Collection is rounded out by two great leashes. The Mission Ready™ Modular Dog Leash ($35) is built with 1” Nylon webbing and a tubular webbing bungee system with a metal swivel hook for added flexibility and up to 7 feet of length.

The AROS K9 Harness ($150) 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.
