Light for Life

5.11 Tactical is always looking for ways to make your job easier, whether that's the creation of an entirely new product or the rejuvenation and revolution of an existing product. Only a few months ago 5.11 was approached about a new idea that sounded entirely implausible - a rechargeable flashlight, with no batteries! Unbelievable is what 5.11 thought until they met Dr. Alexander, a scientist from Flashpoint Technology who explained the technology and how their power management system could revolutionize flashlights for the public safety market. Dr. Alexander and his team have been working on this technology for more than ten years in the hybrid car market and beeen able to bring this breakthrough battery-free technology down into a handheld size.



5.11 Tactical and Flashpoint Technology have entered into an exclusive partnership to bring this patented technology to you, and at a reasonable price. The new 5.11 Light for Life flashlights have a dramatically higher return-on-investment vs. other rechargeable lights and outperform competitor lights across the board.



The 5.11 Light for Life flashlight comes with a limited lifetime warranty and its internal components are rated for a life of over 50,000 cycles (This adds up to more than 130 years if you use and recharge the light once a day!) The flashlight's body is made from a state-of-the-art polymer that is impact, abrasion and water resistant to stand up to the intense duty 5.11 knows you'll put it through.



These 5.11 Light for Life flashlights will be available in early 2009 and Seaglass Logowear is excited to offer such a versatile product for not only the public safety market, but to everyone needing an environmentally friendly, durable, long lasting, quick to recharge flashlight. With a 90 second recharge, no batteries and a lifetime of use, who doesn't need one?

Newest Employee

We introduced Catie to our new employee on Saturday. We warned her he was tall, dark and handsome, and she may just fall in love! Meet Stone! Yes, he is a full size, 6' tall, dark & handsome mannequin! She of course laughed and we were sure to take a picture with her and Stone. I have to say, dressing Stone was not very easy. Catie and I dropped his arms a couple times and the pants were difficult when he can't bend his legs, and his legs are as long as me! But a fun time nonetheless!


Last week, our 5.11 Tactical Rep Mike was kind enough to come in and help us with the point of sale display items that had arrived for the new Station Wear Line Seaglass Logowear is carrying. We have dozens of EMS pants, station pants, station cargo pants, job shirts, polo shirts, t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, etc. with minimal place to display them. Mike did wonders on the store front and now Stone is sporting the new VTAC pack from the fire/EMS (station wear) line.

What is sea glass and who are we?

Seaglass Logowear was established in 2004, originally named Just Us Embroidery. By the summer of 2005, the name had been changed to Seaglass Logowear. So now you are thinking, why did you change it, and what is sea glass? Sea glass is the glass found on ocean beaches that has been tumbled and smoothed by the water and sand, creating small pieces of smooth frosted glass. Steve and I have always loved the ocean and when walking the beaches, we would look for sea glass. At the time of renaming, we wanted something unique that would represent us while incorporating the services we offered (embroidery, screen printing, logo design, etc.), which led us to Seaglass Logowear.

What began as a part-time business quickly grew into a full-time business of 3+. In August 2007, we moved into a retail location in Clifton Park, NY and offered more services than ever before. We previously offered embroidery, screen printing, custom promotional products, digitizing and logo design. With the move and expansion, we have added trophies, awards, engraving, banners, decals, magnets and vinyl vehicle graphics. The theory behind the business; we should be your one stop shop for all of your advertising and promotional needs. Best of all, 90% of our services provided are done in house.

Meet the cast of Seaglass Logowear, (Left to right) Steven J., Christina F., Jen J. (front), Loressa P. & Megan S. (Catie F. not shown.) I am the owner of Seaglass Logowear and handle the day to day operations. Steve recreates the graphics/digitizing and enjoys the vinyl vehicle graphics. Christina is the 5.11 Tactical Series sales rep for Seaglass Logowear, working with many fire departments and EMS agencies on the new Station Wear Line. Loressa and Catie work for us per diem, assisting wherever necessary. Megan was an intern this summer. A senior graphic design student at Philadelphia University, she was able to dabble in a bit of everything, including graphics, production, sales and vehicle graphic applications.
Bottom line, Seaglass Logowear is here to provide your advertising and promotional creations!
