It all started with the goal of making the best clothing for the guys with the world’s most demanding job: American combat troops. OTTE GEAR decided from the start that they did not want to be told how to make their gear, what fabric or designs to use, or which suppliers they had to buy from. They just wanted to make the best stuff they could using the best materials available anywhere. It was a lofty goal.
When U.S. troops were deployed in the global war on terror, the clothing systems they had did not perform. They were heavy, stiff and didn’t breathe. They definitely weren’t cut for the modern, athletic warrior.
OTTE was conceived to fill that gap. They began by supplying door kickers, good guys and bad-asses worldwide. Now they outfit shooters, hunters, overlanders, and backcountry travelers across the globe. Not to mention guys preparing for the Zombie apocalypse.
OTTE Gear is designed for folks going light, fast and hard. Their product offering is tight because they are focused. Using the most innovative materials available, they design products capable of handling extremely demanding situations like the best waterproof/breathable rainwear and the toughest stretch woven jackets and pants. Their unique background and POV means they also pay close attention to fit and styling.
