The great thing about this store is that they had items that were already worn so that distressing further was easy. I got a free shirt thrown in since there was no price and it was the only one left. I also got a shemagh for a cheaper price than listed just solely on the kindness of the owner. Since I was specifically looking for used military items this store is better than thrift shops, highly recommend.

BEST LOCATION HANDS DOWN!…read more First, 5.11 has some of the most comfortable and versatile gear for combat training, hiking, and even just walking around town. Outstanding clothing quality that looks and feels great. Second, I love this location. The sales team - specifically Jake - is super cool and helpful. My brother and I are regular visitors and, even though we live closer to the Commerce location, we go to Simi because of Jake. I never feel like I'm being "sold" something. Instead, I feel like I have a buddy at the store just giving me great advice on fantastic products. Can you get the similar stuff at different stores or even online for a cheaper price? Sure but why would you when you have a great quality product with a super helpful sales team. What's cheap today is expensive tomorrow. Don't try to find knock off crap on Amazon. Pay for the quality products and service at 5.11. You won't be disappointed.

I came to grab hats, emergency whistles, field glasses and canteens. Everything is great except the canteens! At approximately $12-18 each the strap is far too short to wear comfortably as a crossbody, which means the blanket canteens were a total financial loss for me! Wanting to show my grandchildren how to go out and hike safely and carry what one needs to be safe or call for help, every other item has met our needs. Ask to open packages and see the product, they may have a display piece, don't get the blanket canteen thinking you can wear it across your body, it is a shoulder carry at best. At approximately $200 spent I am woefully disappointed BUT another lesson I was able to teach my grandchildren about policy signage, asking to touch and see merchandise ensuring items meets your needs prior to purchasing.

You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and his community. On top of that, he makes it a point to hire and work with other veterans whenever he can to support his fellow brethren. I'll always recommend people stop by and support this business; especially if you're looking for anything military or first responder related.

Some of the most interesting stuff is just available for rental, but there is a lot for sale. It's old, some things are a bit -or more than a bit - dusty and dirty but that just adds to the charm. What really stood out was the friendliness of the staff. Exceptionally nice and helpful which is not always a given in this type of place. Literally didn't balk at going up a ladder for a couple of dollars of heat shrink tubing. When I got to the counter and was making my purchase a manger (or maybe an owner?) said one of the things was too much and cut the price dramatically. I can't remember the last time that has happened to me, and I'm as old as dirt. :-) If you are a maker, tinkerer or just a fan of cool old stuff you owe yourself a visit to Apex. For me, it was at the end of a 400 mile drive, I was tired and had other places to go, but every minute there was a pleasure.

The options of items seems endless, and there is stuff literally everywhere (hint: look up, down and under when shopping!). It may be even that shopping here as a youngster, I may have been influenced to enlist (which I did and served in two services, time in service 10+ years). Their prices are good, folks running the place are friendly and helpful. Whether you are looking for inspiration for decoration, training, prepping, survival or just like to look, make this place a part of tourism.

They have everything you need for the outdoors and for any military/tactical gear. They also have MREs to purchase. They are super friendly and i believe they have decent prices on their merchandise.

I always recommend this store to others who are looking for outdoor gear.
