Having the proper gear to practice in can make a difference in the outcome of your training. When it comes to women’s tactical gear and athletic wear, 5.11 Tactical offers a variety of options to help you be dressed for success, whether you’re climbing a mountain, at the shooting range, or training for your career or pursuing your own athletic ambitions.
Practical Women’s Gear
Most of the women’s tactical gear can double as training or athletic wear, allowing you to train to be ready at all times. Part of being prepared for any circumstance that may come your way is to have proper gear so you can get the most out of your training. It’s also a good idea to train in clothing that is more tactical in nature.

Why should you train in tactical-type athletic wear? Whether you are a first responder, an avid hiker or hunter, or want to be at the ready for your own peace of mind, training in more tactical types of clothing will help you be that much more prepared in case anything should come your way.
Being Prepared
Why should you be ready at all times? Because anything can happen at any time. Being ready at all times means being aware of your surroundings while also remaining prepared. One of the best ways to ward off danger or nefarious situations is to stay constantly prepared. Being prepared entails many factors. These include being situationally aware at all times.
What does it mean to be situationally aware? It means being aware of your surroundings and the details of those surroundings at all times. You already practice situational awareness when you drive a car, but you also need to practice this skill wherever you go, including out in public or on a hike in the woods.

Another way to be prepared for any situation, at any time, is to ensure you have the right gear, including proper clothing for any occasion. When you are training, whether for your own fitness goals or for on-the-job training, having good-quality fitness attire can make a difference in the outcome of your workout. When you are working to improve your physical fitness, you don’t want to be distracted by your clothing. Instead, focus on the training activity. With the 5.11 Tactical women’s training gear collection, you can stress less about what you are wearing and focus more on the task at hand.
Azurite Shorts
One of the best pieces of clothing I have come across is the Azurite shorts. These women’s shorts have a tactical look and feel, but are also comfortable and great for just about any occasion. Among many excellent features on these shorts are the pockets! There are so many pockets that I didn’t have enough gear to put in them.

Seven pockets total if you’re keeping count, which is impressive, especially on a pair of shorts. There are even pockets that are the perfect size for a small magazine. That way, you can stay prepared at all times, whether you have your CCW on you or you are practicing at the shooting range. Pocket styles include cargo hand pockets that close like an envelope on the outer pocket. These double and have a second pocket behind the outer one.
On top of all the cool features, they are comfortable and allow you to move easily without restriction, thanks to their slightly looser fit, which gives the wearer maximum mobility. I’ve worn these shorts while hiking, running errands, and even running. The Azurite shorts have a 5-inch inseam, are moisture-wicking, and are made from a polyester-elastane ripstop blend. With all of the versatility in these shorts, you can wear them to work out, go on a hike, or run your errands in them.
Though the Azurite shorts are considered tactical shorts, they have a style that fits any occasion, and you can literally go from one task in your day to the next. The Azurite shorts are perfect for outdoor activities or for running errands. They are definitely made to help you achieve your fitness and training goals, and to keep you comfortable while still at the ready.

Essential Protection
While you train, it is also essential to protect yourself from the elements, especially the sun. I’m one of those people who gets sunburnt from sitting in the car on a sunny day, so UV protection is a must when I work out.
The Sulli UV Hood is a long-sleeved shirt that is now one of my go-to pieces for extra sun protection. This shirt is lightweight and perfect for fitness training, a long day at the gun range, or other outdoor recreational activities. The cut of this shirt is just right, so it fits well, and I can attest to how well it protects from UV rays. I have worn this shirt for long periods outdoors in the sunlight without burning.
Sulli UV Hood
That is saying something because there have been times I have been burned through a long-sleeved shirt, but not with the Sulli UV Hood; I was protected the entire time I wore it. Living in the southwest, the sun can be brutal at any time of year, but with the Sulli UV Hood, I don’t have to worry about not having the protection I need, with a 50-plus UPF rating. This shirt has long sleeves and is comfortable, breathable, and odor-resistant, even in the heat.

The Sulli UV Hood is designed to protect your arms, neck, and ears. It’s lightweight, which makes it easy to wear, and it’s fitted enough to allow the wearer to move without any material in the way, yet loose enough to keep the wearer mobile; it really is the perfect balance. The Sulli UV Hood also features reflective heat transfer on the right shoulder for safety, and the sleeves include thumbholes so you can stay active while keeping them in place and out of the way. Additionally, wearing UV-protective clothing is another way to focus on your training without being distracted or worrying about sunburn.

These pants are also durable, made out of mostly polyester and an elastane blend, along with Enduro-Flex.

They are adjustable with a drawstring and feature small slits in the pants’ cuffs to accommodate your favorite shoes. This means you can move easily and expect the pants to last a long time. These are breathable and moisture-wicking with perforated panels on the back of the knee, too.
These drawstring pants include plenty of pockets, including a hidden pocket with a zipper, perfect for keeping your keys or ID safe while you jog, work out, or train.
The PT-R Havoc Jogger can be worn for a variety of occasions, not just for physical fitness training. I have worn them to work out and train in, as well as to relax at home in, and for both circumstances, the PT-R Havoc Jogger is a good fit. In addition, they are neither too long nor too short; the length is just right.
