Swat Style BBQ Aprons

The Tactical BBQ Apron Would Make a Great Father's Day Gift

— May 27, 2013 — Art & Design
With Father's Day quickly approaching, why not consider the Tactical BBQ Apron from Think Geek? This awesome BBQ accessory is perfect for men who love to grill in style.

This badass BBQ apron features numerous pockets and clips that perfectly hold things like spatulas, tongs, brushes and condiments. The straps on this extremely manly apron are completely adjustable and the apron is machine washable, so it's not a problem if ketchup and mustard spills occur while grilling.

The best part about this apron is how hardcore it makes people look while they BBQ. This heavy duty black apron reads 'Chef' on the front and back. This apron may not do you much good in an actual swat situation, but it's perfect for doing some serious grilling.

The manly appearance and overall functionality of the Tactical BBQ Apron is what makes it an awesome gift idea for dads who love to grill.
