Special Operations Equipment (SOE)

Myself and a friend visited Camden and stopped in at SOE. John and his crew were very nice as we browsed some of their gear. I ended buying a micro rig. I’m extremely pleased with the quality of it and love that it’s handmade right here in my home state of TN. I look forward to acquiring more gear from them.

Only company I use for tactical gear they make everything from my belt, wallet and cooking apron to my backpack, medical bags chest rigs and duffel bags. They make bombproof gear 1000 stars

Great American made product! Built to last, customer service is great, lead time for delivery depends on product ordered but never fails to impress and is built to last. I have multiple orders from them ranging from belts to gym bags duffle bag and tool bags, wallet and slings for my rifles. I am a lifetime customer! 10/10 recommend to all!

I'm an older guy living in the 'burbs who never thought I would have a need for nylon tactical gear. Yes, I have a "name brand" leather gun belt and it does a tolerable job. After checking out SOE, I bought an EDC belt in all black. From order to arrival, it was less than 1 week. I have never had a sturdier or more comfortable belt!

Enjoy all your videos that represent your gear and the down to earth podcasts. Being a Marine 2005-2009, it's great to see and hear how much respect all of you have for our service members. Keep it up and thank you! Definitely going to spread the word about your company to others. Five stars, hands down.

This is where I get all my belts and bags. I’ve never had any problems, not even a loose thread. The zippers are all super heavy duty and overall everything is built to last.

Have been doing business here for the past few months. Everything I have ever bought has arrived in a timely fashion and quality second to none. Have been to the shop a couple of times and have found the owner and his wife, nice and knowledgeable and helpful in every way. Will continue to do business here for many years to come.

*Update* I am more than two years doing business with this company and between online and in-person buying have bought a little over 10 thousand worth of merchandise. I’ve had exactly 1 issue and it was of my own making. I ordered the wrong item. I sent an email, John and Amanda corrected it immediately. I have been to the shop now more times than I can count and treated like family every single time since the very first time. And every time has been a learning experience.

SOE makes the absolute best bombproof tactical and lifestyle gear on this planet. Do not fool yourselves to ever think Amazon, Wish, BH, LB, or any other maker makes anything even remotely close or better.

SOE makes the highest quality product and has an awesome culture. John Willis is my favorite business owner in the world, I have learned so much from him that I can never repay it. This is one of the very few companies out there where you can get on social media and interact directly with the owner. I love SOE, and I'm always looking forward to getting more gear from them!

Every piece of gear i have bought from them has been the highest level of quality. From the cobra riggers belt that will undoubtedly be around way after I am gone to the grocery bag that will hold more stuff in there than you want to carry, you can't go wrong no matter what you get. If you need a carry-on travel bag the medium sized clothes bags are just about as big as you can go and a perfect option. I can't say enough good things about this company. Give them a try one time and you will be customer for life.

Best tactical and lifestyle gear on the market. You will not be disappointed with neither quality or customer service. The owner John keeps all his customers up to date with daily live feeds on Facebook and multiple posts on numerous social media platforms. Moreover there are countless videos on YouTube which shows off the gear. The gear is an investment and will only go up in value. You will be doing yourself a disservice if you choose another manufacturer.

Awesome gear, very high quality made to be the best! Awesome people as well! I messed up ordering, and wasn't supposed to receive a free combat cock. They sent it to me anyway, that was very cool of them, and I wont forget it. I have several of their products, and I'm happy with all of them.

Great communication and top quality products. I ordered a belt from SOE and it is the best belt I’ve ever had. They even threw in a free pouch that works perfectly for my flashlight/batteries. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Excellent products backed by excellent customer service and built by Americans who are proud to be American. I've personally used several of their pieces of kit in hard use training, as well as wear their belts every day and they refuse to quit. What more could you ask for?

John and Amanda Willis and their crew are some of the most kind hearted people you can do business with. They make excellent quality gear, and have amazing customer service. Wouldn't want to buy gear from any other company.

I've been dealing with John and SOE for a few months now and every interaction has been well above my expectations!! The gear is simply the best...period. Any question or concerned is typically answered with in hours, several times with in minutes!! I will continue to support this business and there way of life!!
If you've been timid to order from these guys from bad reviews you've seen, don't be!!! They are excellent to deal with and there product is the best on the market!!

10/10
One of the best shops in the US.
I have equipment from them that is still as brand new as the day i got it 8 year ago.
I have use so many brand that I needed to buy new stuff from because it broke, but never SOE never had a problem with anything.
Never had a problem with John, if you have a problem with him, then it's you that is a problem.

This company sells the absolute best gear. John is a cool dude and has been in the tactical nylon gear game a long time. His products are the best and perform the best under the absolute harshest conditions. You will not be disappointed.

SOE hosted a special event to teach skills like making Feta Cheese, MIG Welding, Small Engine Maintenance as well as how to set up a Solar Power System. I met the owner and was very impressed with his operation as it relates to all types of products for outdoor use. You can see quality is a top priority with this firm. You most likely will purchase products online but it's good to get on the ground and realize this business encompasses more than just making and selling products - they are supporting a like minded community who enjoy outdoors, learning and implementing new skills to further self-reliance...

Recieved the wrong product on my 3rd order from SOE. Immediately brought it to John's attention. Recieved new tracking for the right product within hours and was told to keep the mistakenly shipped product due to the inconvenience. Great products, great people, nothing but great experiences. Have ordered multiple times and will do so again.

I have ordered several products from SOE and each product is very high quality. You can tell that these folks are passionate about the gear they sell. I currently have 3 of their belts the oldest being around 2 years old with heavy use and they are all holding up great. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time or money with the other companies products because these folks are the best in the business. I should know I've been involved with shooting sports for the last 25 years and have had many products that have disappointed me. I can't say enough about SOE Gear, fast turn around, fantastic customer service, and producing well made products! What more could you ask for. Keep up the good work SOE!
