5.11 Tactical EDC Starter Kit Giveaway
Bernard Capulong
Update: Congrats to Shon W., winner of this giveaway! Thanks everyone who participated. Keep it locked here for more giveaways in the future.
Who else loves free EDC gear? This week, we're hooking up one lucky reader with a tactical go-bag starter kit brought to you by our sponsors, 5.11 Tactical. They're known in the EDC scene for their purpose-driven designs and rugged build quality at great values. And while we've been fans of their bags for years, they now make other great gear for your everyday, from clothing to essential tools like knives and flashlights.
With this prize package, you'll get a chance to experience a little of everything they have to offer: their iconic daypack, a compact penlight, a tactical “little big knife,” and a versatile cross-body sling bag. All of this gear would make a great foundation for an EDC, go-bag, or backup system, especially if you prefer tactical performance.
We’ll run the giveaway for a week—until 12:00pm EDT on Thursday, July 14. Good luck everyone, and carry on!
Make sure you're logged in, then head over to our giveaway page for your chance to win the following:
- 5.11 Tactical RUSH 12: An EDC crowd favorite bag. It's a rugged, compact daypack with all the internal pockets and organization you could ask for. Learn more about it and see what our readers have to say about the bag here. ($99.99)
- 5.11 Tactical MOAB 10: An ambidextrous, cross-body sling bag built for versatility and mobility in the field. It keeps a slim profile on your back, but has the space for a hefty loadout. ($99.99)
- 5.11 Tactical TMT PLx Penlight: A no-frills penlight that gets the job done. A useful 90 lumen output and tactical clicky switch gives you reliable light when you need it quick, without the hassle of cycling through confusing modes and sequences. ($26.99)
- 5.11 Tactical DRT Folding Knife: A “little big knife” designed by Mike Vellekamp featuring a 2.85” AUS 8 steel blade secured via liner lock. What the blade lacks in size, it more than makes up for it with its excellent ergonomics for precision and utility: finger choils, a grippy textured handle, and blade jimping make this one practical EDC. ($32.99)
Total Prize Package Value: $260
