Platoon Stores is Kent’s only authorised 5.11 Tactical retailer. That means the genuine 5.11 range, in-store in Rochester, where you can try the fit before you buy, backed by full manufacturer warranty. From the legendary Stryke trousers to RUSH backpacks and duty boots, if it is 5.11 and you are in Kent, this is the place.
Why buy 5.11 from an authorised retailer
- Genuine, guaranteed stock. Authorised means the real thing with full warranty, not grey-market imports.
- Try before you buy. 5.11 sizing runs its own way, so trying trousers and boots on in our showroom saves the guesswork.
- The full range. Trousers, shirts, backpacks, boots, belts and EDC, not just a handful of lines.
- Expert fitting advice. We know the ranges inside out and can match kit to your build and use.

- Shirts and polos, from rapid-response shirts to everyday tops.
- Boots and footwear, duty and field boots built to last.
- Belts, EDC and accessories, everyday-carry kit that just works.
Why 5.11?
5.11 Tactical built its name on gear that holds up to hard use, the Stryke trouser with Flex-Tac fabric and the RUSH pack range are staples for a reason. Whether you want them for airsoft, work, the outdoors or everyday carry, the quality earns its price. As Kent’s authorised stockist we are proud to carry the full line.
