The "tactical" was part of the origional joke. 5.11 makes clothing for paramilitary types, (and housing inspectors like me
)
As for me wanting one? I explained it to my Wife this way, I'm 40, I don't want a sports car, I'm madly in love with her so I'm not interested in trading her in for the "new model". I just want to have a kilt to wear when the mood strikes me.
