This week they'll be streaming the video live while Dave Rhoden, their Director of Product Intelligence, puts the gear through its paces. He'll be demonstrating how assorted pieces of their RECON activewear is used and answering questions in real time. Streamed live from “The Forge” (the 5.11 Tactical office gym, which is used a lot due to their corporate “culture”), the video also provides watchers a chance to win a 5.11 RECON Outbound Bag stuffed full of 5.11 gear. Three watchers will win; their names will be announced at the end of the event. You'll be able to watch on computer or mobile device. If you're interested in participating, entering to win the gear or just listening to what Rhoden has to say about their features of the RECON series, you can register for details here.
