Full description and what we offer

S.O.Tech Tactical started in 1997 with one man, a sewing machine, and a garage. That founder recognized massive gaps in load carriage development for military and law enforcement. Today, the company manufactures tactical gear in Los Angeles that's used by active personnel worldwide, with over 1.5 million pieces of gear sewn and distributed.

"Built to Survive the Worlds Worst" — S.O.Tech's manufacturing philosophy since 1997

S.O.Tech doesn't sell off-the-shelf tactical gear. They design and manufacture:

•BLOCS System — Modular tactical vests and carriers (Medic, Rifleman, Automatic Rifleman, Grenadier configurations from $350–$760)
•LISS System — Load carriage for specialized roles
•Mission Pack System — Go bags and mission-specific packs ($130–$200)
•Cobra SIS Vests — Law enforcement and tactical armor carriers ($380–$850) with LAPD/LASD approval

•V.I.P.E.R. Flat IFAKs — Individual first aid kits for tactical use ($78–$95)
•Modular Medical Packs — Small, Medium, Large options ($249–$937)
•COBRA Aid Stations — Modular assault aid bags and prolonged field care panels ($835–$975)
•Micro Mission Medical Packs — Full kits at $400

•AXON Taser Holsters — Speed Clip and modular mounts for Taser 7, X2, X26, X26P ($85 standard)
•Modular Pouches — MOLLE/PALS compatible with patented FlexTab system
•Armor Carriers — Customizable vests with modular attachment points
•Speed Clip Less-Lethal Rigs — Law enforcement-grade equipment
•Magazine pouches, tourniquet carriers, handcuff pouches, helmet covers

S.O.Tech's approach is different: they don't just manufacture and ship. Their designers embed in tactical environments—training Green Berets at Fort Bragg, interning West Point Cadets—to understand real-world problems and design solutions. This philosophy has produced:

•15 US Patents — Exclusive innovations in load carriage and modular design
•2,500+ Unique Designs — Purpose-built configurations for different roles
•Museum Recognition — Magazine chest rigs, go bags, side-pull IFAKs, and speed clip rigs are now in museums as game-changers

Their gear is standard issue for: - US Military units - Law enforcement agencies (LAPD, LASD approved line) - Special operations teams - EMS and tactical medical personnel - Federal agencies with NSN (National Stock Number) contracts

All manufacturing happens in Los Angeles. No overseas production. This means quality control, quick custom orders, and support for American manufacturing.

Patented FlexTab System — Modular pouches stay secure to your gear with S.O.Tech's proprietary attachment design
