DEFCON 5 is a brand known not only in the Czech market but also in markets of other countries. The company has earned its position mainly thanks to reliable products, which include backpacks, vests, and knee and elbow protectors.

Italian brand DEFCON 5 is known on the Czech market primarily as a manufacturer of semi-military equipment, which is mainly used for airsoft and similar militant sports. However, in Italy, this brand supplies items such as backpacks to the Italian army. For example, the cooperation resulted in a backpack called Multiuse - originally designed for deployment in international missions.

The company's name is derived from the military term DEFCON (DEFense readiness CONdition), which determines the level of readiness and alertness of the armed forces in the USA. Specifically, DEFCON 5 refers to the normal readiness of the armed forces in peacetime. The company Defcon 5 was founded by military members working in the business sector, who aim to design products that minimally serve for the normal readiness of the armed forces. The range of offered goods includes: backpacks, pouches, vests, knee and elbow protectors, helmets, tactical belts, gloves, boots, patches, military clothing, and more. Since August 2007, Defcon 5 has been included in the list of authorized NATO dealers, meaning that products are controlled and tested to meet military requirements as closely as possible.
