Shot Show 2017 - Kitanica Tactical, Everyday Clothing: US Made, Top Craftsmanship, Lots of Function

I first saw Kitanica 3 year ago at Shot Show, but this year I finally got to checking out their gear and taking some video. This stuff is NICE. It's not for the feint of heart because it's not cheap, but if you are looking for nicely (I MEAN NICELY) made clothing that is made in the U.S.A. you may just want to check these guys out.

[@brandont5995]

Thank you so much for introducing me to this company, great stuff!

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

Definitely got those San Francisco prices.

[@mixflip]

first time seeing this gear. I'm in love at first sight! I need to get some of these in for gear testing.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

yup - nice gear indeed.

[@syclops7]

Great looking clothes!!! Gonna have to get my hands on a jacket for sure! Thanks for the intro!

[@bicommander7911]

really nice stuff, I wish I could visit Shot Show one time

[@garreswe]

I'm super happy with my Kitanica pants and jackets!

[@goratek23]

next week i get my first kitanica all seasons pants finally !its the pants i allways dreamed of!

[@the-og-gohan7230]

I love the style of that Mark IV jacket, the only thing that throws me off is that back plating. I still want it tho.

[@arizonapatriot6710]

Thank you so much for bringing this American made company to me. I will look into there company and buy some gear. I paid 220 for Crye Precision Tactical pants

[@missinglmnt8333]

I really really like all the links in the bio thank you so much that is so nice and convenient

[@pihlbutres8003]

gonna check em out. quality is worth paying for

[@charlesreohr6236]

I wish your line of clothes was available 20 years ago when I was camping every week.

[@chrisnorcross3322]

We have enough garbage at Walmart or target. It’s so nice to see quality built. I can’t decide between the mark for or the Marc five jackets and I can’t decide between the green or the black but I will figure it out.

[@husky701rider9]

I'm currently in an emt course. Depending on where I do my externship I might need some of these pants to fill with gear. Stuff looks great.

[@AZTigerMMA]

Husky701 Rider look at UF pro ! That’s what I wear

[@adrianherrera4455]

I just dont understand. why do companies continue to be in a state where its hard to even have a business? this is why kitanica over charges its products. if kitanica were to move to a state like texas or other friendly state, they would be able to bring prices down, and definitely gain more business.

[@ericferguson9989]

Empire Strikes Back raid on Hoth comes to mind for some reason; kind of sci-fi looking.

[@jodywooten5511]

That light is pretty nice

[@jhinnefreet4295]

I want a jacket/coat that has a comfortable cc shoulder holster rig built in so no clips or buckles other than release. I realize that makes the apparel uneven weightwise. . .still thinking how to fix without relying on spare clip weight. . .does a single side of protection count as body armor by government standards?

[@canalzonebratt90]

I bought 2 thrunite that broke in less than 8 months and I had a hard time with the warranty and the Chinese translation on the website. Lights worked great when they worked but I still have 2 broke lights

[@mohamedboughrara2986]

Kitanica , always the best tactical

[@AndrewBaines]

Absolutely love this brand, wish i afford 3 of every single items they sell!!!!!!!! I always pay for high durability, high functionality and ultimately high quality, i buy tings that last!!!

[@wechaimoua6786]

Where can I get one that can handle .50 caliber and 100% water proof paint and shirt?

[@ggwindsor1]

I don't mind paying extra for a good product but what is the warranty?

[@joeguzman3558]

are the jackets waterproofing???

[@cemwind]

Looks a lot better than that one they put out with all the crazy straps across the front...

[@joesmith7123]

Really nice clothing

[@nupdupakdupak6973]

India(Arunachal pradesh) how I order this jecket?.

[@PickinNgrinin]

Jacket looks really cool, but for 700 bucks I could get an excellent rothco jacket, new backpack, new tent, new sleeping bag and still have money to play with

[@MrPd23322]

the coat Mark 4 is awesome...since I live in the largest military area this would be fine and not seen a "joe military " or "joe tactical"...all those pockets super cool

[@joesmith7123]

Excellent style

[@darc1027]

That's some badass clothing I want it lol need to work ot to buy it but I want it

[@michaelchrabot8722]

i realy like their cloths

[@treecareEdm]

I love my Kitanicas...

[@hawaiianpunch6534]

ATACS looks pretty cool

[@danbonzo41]

Ships to Australia??

[@THELOUWINELOUNGE]

I can understand the cost and value of the jacket for a SHTF outerwear. After living hard for a few weeks and sleeping on floors, you would wish you had this jacket. It's the same reason we pay $600 for Glocks instead of $285 for a Canik from Century Arms. You could also use the flip flops vs Danner boots if you need another example.

[@takumisato7126]

I agree, the older I get the more I appreciate functionality over flashy shit

[@gradoisx2348]

Okk so i use 5.11 tactical jeans for work. Im going to try these jeans and will report back

[@RobertFireLionBlueHawkWinkler]

Do they make any left handed clothing? I have no right hand or arm, so that left arm pockets would be useless to me. It sucks being a left-hander living in a right handed world!

[@wechaimoua6786]

Is this bullet proof of armor piercing and 100% water proof? I need to spend up to $2500 with 100% water proof and bullet proof of armor piercing that can handle of . 50 caliber.

[@RedLegBlazer]

The new tactical pockets have 4 square inches of pants attached for easy carrying.

[@blizte3]

us is good if from Texas or better state

[@user-il4my4hl7u]

Классные куртки!

[@KeikoFXDesigns]

I don't mine paying for more for good quality pants and Jacket. They are the same material as my HAZARD 4 BAG!

[@USA_is_a_Republic]

I'm suprised the BATFE hasn't raided your company in comifornia for selling tactical attire.

[@dirtyarrie]

I would definitely pay for something like this! I have had a similar American made product for about 7 years and they are still kicking like kung fu chicken! So when my funds become available...

[@gummybear41283]

I will buy that first jacket, I want to support this American company :o)

[@wrtyiw1508]

Why not in turkey ?😒

[@AZTigerMMA]

The clones are out now. 1000d and some with the look but different material...just FYY $250 for 1000d and $67 for basic materials

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Interesting - send me some links if you would.

[@Thebeerhistorian]

yeah they make expensive clothing, but you pay once and have a good jacket for the next 20+ years. Probably longer.

[@grimdeathlord]

I own some of their clothing great stuff u should do more review's of this company.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

+grimdeathlord I hope to. I'll be in touch with them soon

[@Surago]

grimdeathlord well aren't you just a mister richie rich pants owning "some" of their stuff. us regular joes can't even afford one of their things. rub it in will you.... ;-)

[@lukexury_WRR]

Sweet gear! Buy once, cry once.

[@jackg.7745]

Can any of these "Tactical" clothing manufacturers make stuff in big guy sizes? I'm a tall guy that needs 4xl in most jackets and can't find them anywhere. Are there any companies that you know of that make stuff in larger sizes?

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

These guys might custom make one for you - e-mail them or call them and ask.

[@jackg.7745]

Will do...Thank you

[@kuribo1]

Those prices are like domestic Japanese prices for tactical gear. Volk tactical has prices similar to this, not sure how it is justified.

[@DeltaBravoOpr8r]

I have 2 pair ASP pants and Mark IV jacket. I love them all. Wouldn't buy any other pants.

[@DeltaBravoOpr8r]

Oh and GREAT customer service.

[@alexoneal1029]

Looks like nice gear but as I have owned and operated an American based company for the last 23+ years I'd like to know why Kitanica charges such premium prices. Granted US based companies tend to inflate prices for materials and manufacture but it still seems excessive.Perhaps Kitanica pays its employees extremely well? I only buy quality kit but it has to be practical as well (I like to be a good steward with my Blessings)...thanks for showing us around Shot Show Pastor Tim...

[@cz75fanatic]

Hmm, I'm curious about this. If they indeed use US materials there might lie some of the hidden costs. Additionally, I don't think their prices are as high as people seem to claim. Aren't 5.11 pants all made overseas and hitting similar price points depending on the model?

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Glad to do it, Alex. I'm hoping to score some of these for review sometime.

[@carbonking53]

alex o'neal there is an extreme amount of patterning, cutting, sewing, and finishing on apparel with this degree of fit and function. Not to mention they don't have the benefit of economy of scale of large apparel brands. I was expecting the prices to be even higher.

[@skinny4070]

Yeah. The coats are bad ass, however 500 for a hoody is ridiculous. That company wont last at prices like that. On the other hand, in california, when you have to pay everyone a crazy wage, things are going to get expensive. Wait till federal min wage is 18 or 20 an hour

[@joeguzman3558]

the prices are ok becose they're good for ever

[@beck4218]

The title should be "lots of friction"

[@gradoisx2348]

That jacket better be bullet proof for $700

[@pinkeye00]

"American Hoody". Made in America with Indian Fabrics @3x cost. W00t.

[@michaelnussbaum6635]

I find it funny people cry about the price of American made products. Take in the cost of labor that an American worker makes and the amount of time it takes to craft a product and these prices don't seem so high. I bet no one that makes comments about the "outrageous" price wants to get paid $5/hr. So let's no cry over it.

[@michaelnussbaum6635]

Oh and thanks for the great vid!

[@oregonflatland]

I agree but it needs to come in my choice of color for that price

[@JonnyParker-]

They could easily sell their jackets for a couple hundred less and still pay staff well and make good profit. There's paying for quality which I'm all for , but kitanica are really overpriced. Same as all that maxpedition stuff and tad gear.

[@davidtrueslayor7474]

That are some bad ass jackets- out of Oaktown - any Raiders tactical gear !!!

[@TheRealJayGutta]

I find it funny that "American made" costs more than imported when all of the materials are already here and not shipped in. idk.. but what I do know is This dude looks like he could be George Clooney's younger brother...

[@wisperingbeard]

TheRealJayGutta holy shit I was thinking the exact same thing. He could be an impersonator.

[@ThelastWales]

Beautiful jacket but for $700 I was like jeez

[@HighSpeedNoDrag]

Agreed.

[@beardedhussar1755]

For the Gucci tactical guy or gal in your life.....

[@oregonflatland]

For $700 fucking dollars it doesn't even come in black?? I would buy it right now if it did...

[@justiceforall1288]

They’re like the Apple of tactical clothing 😁😄🤷🏾‍♂️🧔🏾👍🏾👍🏾😃

[@thomasbaron6918]

just what I need, a $600 jacket. paha.

[@violent_bebop9687]

Well hey, I bought a 40K truck...$700 aint shit

[@pinkeye00]

WHO NEEDS 13 pockets?!

[@PumpkinHead440]

If the jacket had ykk zippers and a combination of cordura with other light materials I’d pay no more than $400 not $700. I’m not that estuped.

[@Devyne187]

real talk plp blow money in malls on crap but this brothers products are the truth 220 for the tactical pants hell thats good.

[@Fallen_Angel81]

Funny how many of these brands are out of business now

[@joeguzman3558]

👍 USA made

[@dcb1138]

Like my father used to say..."I can't afford to buy cheap". think about it.

[@dqn808]

he named the jackets like iron man's suits... mark 1, mark 2, mark 3

[@Yahbklyn]

Kitanica Tactical, Don't make apologies for the price of your product. I think is awesome. This type of clothing is not for everyone. But for those that put in work we want the best not what's cheap. God Bless

[@isher__]

Cool, but hardly subtle.

[@user-lm2ev3bk4c]

Hello. I'm from Russia. They call me Maxim. I like your clothes from kitanika, please give me a jacket and trousers of the company kitanika.budu for my birthday. I'm grateful to you. Thank you in advance .

[@trotsky707]

Hats off Kitanica. California is a hostile State to run a business.

[@CoGhostRider]

Mark IV cost 666.00

[@ThinkHarder]

Kitanica stuff is cheap compare to the sweden tactical line of clothing , 129$ for a pair of pant, puah thats nothing, how about 1200$ for one made oversea

[@cbr6864]

hope to god that jacket cones with free AR15 for that price

[@nestormorales5225]

I’ll pass buddy. I’ve got the cash but that’s not reasonable

[@pinkeye00]

Oakland ... best battle ground for conservatives ever. NWA approves this message.

[@Surago]

they'd better move their company. I hear California is going to secede ..... can't use that made in America slogan.

[@wjf213]

As far as I'm concerned, they already have. I refuse to send another penny to Kalifornia and that left wing gooberment if at all possible, and that includes no movies for Hollyweird. I haven't been to the movies in almost 9 years now and I will never go again. I have had enough of their crap, but I really do like this product. Too bad they don't make it in FREE AMERICA. In any case, keep up the great work.

[@beardedhussar1755]

There's a reason why Kalifornia's chief exports are fruits and nuts

[@trotsky707]

Northern California is loyal to the Republic. Support The State of Jefferson Movement!

[@oregonflatland]

I was shocked that this company is in Oakland, in the belly of the beast...You would think they would be in Montana or Wyoming or North Dakota where true red blooded Americans who would buy their products live!

[@newkey1106]

Big and tall I paid $200 for my clothes pair of pants because I'm big can this guy make me some clothes I pay money for good quality clothes 54 pants 32 insane 3 - 4x shirt 4X jacket I can pay money for that

[@Chickenwingsftw17]

made in America, with Japanese sewing machines.

[@jny78]

And now you can storm the capital

[@noelvega5993]

We need more good O'l American made 🇺🇸 products like you (Kitananica)are doing...quit going to cheap China made products...that dont last...

[@ahmedbey2350]

I want Jackette Mark IV hard but I can not because I'm a poor Arab

[@FreakzRitual]

Love the gear but this gear is of course for the wealthy people ..

[@spoke1183]

all crap no gray man concept here

[@pyrogothica3906]

These jackets are nowhere near worth 500 bucks. Why on earth would anyone spend that much when you can get everything this offers and more for a 5th of the price?

[@Red_Proton]

Why asymmetrical? Imo, asymmetrical clothing is trying too hard, wanting attention, and a marketing gimmick. I'd much rather have lots of symmetrical pockets.

[@cesarbugarini499]

😏Need me a man that wears this 🥵

[@shadowbanned5164]

The US made clothing is currently being knocked off by Chinese websites like Cotosen but trust me when I say they are sad and sorry knockoffs of American made quality.

[@idaru2]

So he uses the "made in America" the reason for the crazy prices ? So every employee that touches these clothes should be making well over 100K per year ? So I guess we will we if they have any growth in future. People that use the excuse it's all made domestically for insane prices is why more products aren't made here. Made in America isn't a automatic excuse for pricing like this ! It's greed, if they have to charge this much then they are paying themselves to much and aren't worried about growth just being wealthy, that attitude DOES NOT help or grow the country !! Just themselves but then they act like the pricing has to be that high because they love the US. BS, they love there big homes and fancy trucks. Excuse excuse excuse, it's getting played out guys. There R and D did not cost that much, what to add pockets to pants ? Really ? Ok I'm done, but I do like what they have to offer, just don't try to play the I love America card to justify the disgusting prices.

[@kennhiser]

Waaaaaay overpriced.

[@luisnguyen5455]

Ugly design tactical jackets, pockets not nice , styles etc …! Expensive price …? Thanks for introducing.( RCL Veterans)🇫🇷🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧🙋‍♀️

[@kylesherrer7188]

I was interested until I heard the company was based in California. I would gladly pay $200 for a pair of pants that would last lifetime or at the very least be warrantied for that especially if it were made in America (aka outside of California, New York, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Illinois). Cool product though I would buy a few pairs of their pants if they made them in a state that respects the 2nd amendment, instead of having their local tax dollars being spent to destroy it.
