Patrik Orcutt 08.02.24
5.11 Tactical, founded in 1999 by Dan Costa and Francisco Morales, has a history rooted in providing high-performance gear and apparel for law enforcement, military, and tactical professionals. The company’s name, “5.11,” is derived from the highest level of climbing difficulty, symbolizing the commitment to producing top-notch products. Initially, starting with a pair of pants designed for rock climbing, 5.11 Tactical quickly gained popularity among law enforcement agencies for its durability and functionality. Over the years, the company expanded its product line to include a wide range of tactical gear, from footwear and outerwear to backpacks and accessories. Today, 5.11 Tactical is a globally recognized brand known for its dedication to innovation, quality, and meeting the demanding needs of those who serve in the most challenging environments. Last year, 5.11 launched a new line of K9 accessories to include, collars, leashes and even poop bags. The focus of this review will be over the Mission Ready Modular Dog Leash.

The Mission Ready Modular Dog Leash provided by 5.11 for this review – while I am allowed to keep the product indefinitely – will not change my opinion on this product or any of 5.11’s current or past offerings. 5.11 has not been allowed to preview this article prior to publication. My girlfriend and I have been using these leashes for about 7 months at this point for her two dogs and she has been taking them on walks with these leashes about every day.

Design and Build Quality – 5.11 Mission Ready Modular Dog Leash
The 5.11 Mission Ready Modular Dog Leash is constructed from high-strength nylon, which is known for its durability and resistance to wear and tear.

The leash measures 84 inches in length, providing ample room for dogs to roam while still giving the handler control. It features a padded handle, which enhances comfort during extended use. This is particularly important for dog handlers who may spend long hours on patrol or in training exercises. The handle’s padding reduces hand fatigue and prevents chafing, ensuring a firm yet comfortable grip.

The buckle is robust and secure, providing peace of mind that the leash will remain firmly attached during use.
Additionally, the leash is equipped with multiple attachment points for accessories. These attachment points are strategically placed along the length of the leash, offering versatility for adding pouches, ID tags, or other gear. This modular approach allows dog handlers to customize the leash to suit their specific needs, whether it’s for carrying treats, waste bags, or tactical equipment.
