Otte Gear was created in response to events from September 11, 2001. The goal was to fill the gap on the market with the equipment for operators and to set the new standards in the segment of tactical clothing.
At the beginning, the founders of this American company were looking for ways how to start. So the brand portfolio at that time only included one set of hardshell and one set of softshell clothing. The company was growing and nowadays portfolio include even tactical products with Nylon such as recently introduced plate carrier.
Otte Gear products are designed for the toughest conditions. When U.S. soldiers were deployed in the global war on terror, the clothing systems they had did not perform. They were heavy, stiff and didn’t breathe. Almost opposite of what is today considered functional clothing.
Otte founders wanted to fill that gap and create a fully functional outfit for the modern, athletic warrior. Nowadays, the company outfit shooters, hunters, overlanders, and backcountry travelers across the globe. Also survivalists happened to be Otte Gear faithful customers.
And because people from Otte Gear are also big outdoor enthusiasts, they make their products primarily with an emphasis on two factors - functionality and comfort.
Otte Gear products are simply designed for those going light, fast and hard. Otte Gear using the most innovative materials available, that allow to make products capable of handling extremely demanding situations. These include for example the best waterproof/breathable rainwear and the toughest stretch woven jackets and pants. The manufacturer pays attention not only to functionality, but also to fit and styling.
