TAD Gear Raptor Hardshell Jacket
January 6thTAD Gear’s newest hardshell offering, the Raptor ProLite Hardshell Jacket, is the lighter weight version of their popular Predator Hardshell, currently up to version 3.0. It features the newest 3-layer waterproof breathable fabric from GE’s eVent Professional Line Division. The Raptor reduces bulk with the lighter weight ripstop eVent shell, eliminates the loops swatches of the Predator on the sleeves for even less mass, allowing for easier compression for packing, and overall felt weight on the user. It’s designed as a true lighter weight alpine shell for serious backpacking and mountaineering. It’s not an ultralight shell, but is a great balance of weight savings and durability.
TAD Gear Special Service Sweater and Praetorian Hoodie
December 29thTwo new additions to TAD Gear’s (Triple Aught Design) ‘Green Label” (natural fibers) Merino Wool Garment line for 2008-2009 are the Merino Praetorian Full Zip Hoodie and the Special Service Sweater. TAD Gear’s ever-expanding wool garment line gives the tactical/military community designs catering to their needs, in nice, subdued colours - something that you’re not likely to find at the local REI or ski shop.
OTTE Gear MultiCam Alpine Trouser
December 26thThis is another item that I’ve been waiting for: OTTE Gear’s matching soft shell trousers to the Alpine Jacket in Crye MultiCam. The OTTE Gear Alpine Trouser is a lightweight, breathable and weather resistant soft shell pant. It’s also available in Black, Lt Coyote, Sand and Foliage Green.
TAD Gear Force 10 Spartan Pants
December 5thTAD Gear’s Force 10 Spartan pants are designed for the user who prefers a more discrete or streamlined look than those offered by cargo pants with side pockets. While cargo-style pants are quite the norm aound town, and frankly, don’t really attract much attention, there are places where you might need to present a ‘dressier’ or more ‘professional’ appearance, and these are where the Spartans come in. While they’re not a pair of pressed slacks, they’ll pass for smart casual under most circumstances and yet be ready for some rough and tumble if need be. They’re also less common than 5.11 types, which attract attention from those who are tuned into those kind of things. Depending on your top, you can dress these up or down as you please.TAD Gear’s Force 10 Spartan pants are designed for the user who prefers a more discrete or streamlined look than those offered by cargo pants with side pockets.

Zensah Training and Muscle Recovery Leg Sleeves
October 18thZensah has developed recovery leg sleeves using a special knitting process and their stretchy fabric. From the Zensah site: “The Calf/Shin recovery sleeves are made with gradient compression which provides wide ribbing in the front for shin support, and tight ribbing in the back for calf support. The sleeves are made with Zensah Fabric® which has silver helping regulate skin temperature, and fight bacteria. The sleeves can be worn during training to increase oxygen blood flow to the muscles of the lower leg. The more oxygen the muscles receive the faster they recover allowing athletes to push the envelope in their training. The Zensah Calf/Shin sleeve is ideal for runners, cyclists and triathletes. It can be worn during training, recovery or for traveling after races.
APCU Level 1 Baselayer Top

The Adventure Tech APCU Level I - SS (Short-Sleeved) Lightweight Baselayer Top (available from USCAV) is a stretchy, Level I base layer shirt with breathable panels and X-Static silver fiber.
TAD Gear Battle Hoodie
September 26thTriple Aught Design (TAD Gear) comes out with new stuff faster than I can keep up. The Battle Hoodie was designed as a cool/cold temperature, arid-desert warfare hooded jacket. It’s a specialized jacket, and was produced in response to very specific requests for a quiet, non-melting, insulated garment for dry environments. TAD Gear was asked to design a garment that would be tasked for the colder months at higher altitudes in Afghanistan and Iraq. It had to be no-melt and was to be used in dry/arid environments, so a cotton blend for the outer fabric was chosen. Warmth was desired, so it is fully lined with a cotton liner. The Battle Hoodie is the garment that resulted from this criteria.
Arc’Teryx Combat Jacket in Crye MultiCam
August 23rdIt’s been about three years since we first saw the prototype Arc’Teryx Combat Jacket from the LEAF (Law Enforcement and Armed Forces) division of Arc’Teryx in Crye MultiCam, and now, the production version is finally available. The Combat Jacket has been available in black and crocodile, but the development of the softshell MultiCam material is what took so long. The Combat Jacket was designed with comfort and versatility as the driving design factors, and is constructed with Arc’Teryx’s signature quality and workmanship that have all the other companies playing catch-up.
