About us

We build for professionals. 

That means equipment that performs under weight, heat, pressure, and uncertainty without fail, and without excuses.

Every product we consider making must meet three non-negotiable standards:

        Mission-Driven – If it doesn’t solve a real operational problem, it doesn't belong in the lineup.

   Data-Backed – Both the need for the product  and its performance must be supported by evidence not assumptions, trends, or tradition.​ (Ask us why we don't make a level IV/RF3 armor plate)

    Performance Advantage Required –We only build when we can meaningfully improve protection, weight, function, or reliability over existing solutions—or enable non-standard performance objectives that serve a defined mission need.

TAC 11 manufactures armor and gear for specialized teams and government units where failure is not an option. When those requests come in, we don’t pitch...we execute.

No gimmicks. No shortcuts. No guesswork. Just equipment built to do the job.

Operational Foundations

The principles below define how TAC 11 designs, builds, and supports every piece of equipment we produce. These are not values, we treat them as operational requirements.

Made In the USA

We emphasize operational security while focusing on the quality and craftsmanship expected from American-made gear...no imported shortcuts, no compromises. 

Combat Experience

Built by veterans who’ve worn the gear in combat. Our real-world experience ensures a deep understanding of what works and what doesn’t when it matters most.

Integrity and Transparency

We don't hide behind marketing. We believe clarity builds trust. That’s why we share straightforward, accurate information—using the correct terminology when describing our products and testing. Our priority is to provide the details you need to make confident, informed decisions about protection for yourself and your team.

Training and Education

We support more than just sales. We provide our retail partners and end-users with proper training, maintenance guidance, and insight into the latest tactical gear advancements.
