5.11 Tactical gives military, first responders, and law enforcement up to 30% off through GOVX. It’s one of the larger rates in this category, on a brand most police, fire, and EMS already carry gear from.
5.11 Tactical makes duty and tactical apparel: pants, boots, jackets, backpacks, and load-bearing gear built for shift work rather than the gym. It sells direct through 511tactical.com and through its GOVX storefront.
How To Get The 5.11 Tactical First Responder Discount
- Create a free GOVX account, or sign in if you already have one.
- Verify your first responder, law enforcement, or military status.
- Shop 5.11 Tactical’s GOVX storefront, where the discount applies at checkout once you’re verified.
Up To 30%, Not a Flat Rate
The listed rate is “up to 30%,” which means it varies by item rather than applying as one number sitewide. Check the specific product at checkout for the exact discount before assuming the headline number applies to everything in your cart.
5.11 also runs its own site-wide sales independent of the GOVX program. Compare the GOVX-verified price against whatever’s on sale directly on 511tactical.com before you buy, since the two aren’t always the same discount.
