  • Are 5ive Star Gear gloves cut resistant or rated for firefighting?

    No. 5ive Star Gear lists no ANSI cut level, flame resistance or NFPA certification for its gloves. They are general duty and work gloves, so don't use them for structural firefighting or as cut-protection gloves.

  • What is a P-38 can opener?

    The P-38 is a small folding can opener first developed in 1942 and packed in U.S. military K-rations and C-rations from World War II through the 1980s. 5ive Star Gear's P-38 is an exact reproduction of the original U.S. Shelby Co. design. It's a light, simple tool for camp kits, mess kits and emergency bags.

  • Is 5ive Star Gear paracord 550 cord?

    Yes. 5ive Star Gear sells it as 550 commercial paracord with a 7-strand core, made by a government contractor. It dries quickly and resists rot and mildew. It comes in 50', 100', 300' and 1000' lengths in many colors.

  • How do 5ive Star Gear morale patches attach?

    Each patch is molded PVC with hook material sewn to the back. It sticks to any surface with loop, such as a bag panel, cap, plate carrier or uniform with a loop field, and peels off when you want to swap it. PVC holds bold color, resists stains and wipes clean.
