5.11 Tactical: Shella Pant
If yoga pants and cargo pants had a baby, the results would be the Shella Pant from 5.11.

Howard Leight: Impact Sport Bluetooth: Metallic Rose Gold Youth/Adult Small
Often finding a good-fitting pair of ear protection can be tougher than one may think. An ill-fitting pair could slip off your ears, not provide a good seal or even give you a headache if you wear it long enough. The new Youth /Adult Small sizing on Howard Leight’s Impact Sport Bluetooth muffs have been a great fix for grown adults whose noggin is a bit on the smaller side. Use them to block out loud, damaging range noise or to even bring down the youngster’s incessant bickering after a long workday! Bonus points for their lovely new rose gold offering. howardleightshootingsports.com.
Happy Mother’s Day from our NRA Family to yours!
