Triple Aught Design: New Products for 2017
Triple Aught Design has released some interesting new products in the past few weeks. In the past we have had the opportunity to field test TAD products and we have been amazed by the exceptional attention to detail and quality and by how each piece of clothing or equipment is designed for a specific task and environment. From urban to rural they have it covered, with style.
Azimuth Pack
The Azimuth pack is design to provide a lightweight, practical and durable secondary carrying solutions for everyday equipment or mission specific gear. Similar to the concept of a site exploitation bag this pack allows the user to expand the storage and carrying capabilities for a more flexible performance. The purpose of this pack is to be utilized arbitrarily for everyday use, travel, hiking or any other activity during which items may be collected.
Features
-
Easy Access: Primarily loaded via the large, water resistant zipper at the top of the pack, the Azimuth Pack also has zippers running along both sides of the front panel. One zipper leads to the main compartment, allowing the user to quickly and easily access items at any layer of the pack, and the other zipper leads to a separate, flat storage compartment that keeps small items readily accessible.
-
Internal Organization: Two Helix (HX) attachment points inside of the Azimuth Pack allow the user to attach Transport Cubes, our soon-to-be-released Transport Sleeve, select Control Panels, or any other compatible storage system securely inside the pack. An internal mesh pocket keeps small items accessible at the top of the pack, and also acts as the carrying pouch when stowing the Azimuth for transport.
-
External Organization: The Azimuth Pack has two quickly accessible external side pockets with attachment loops to help retain essential tools such as a water bottle, compass, GPS, or map. These pockets are ported to allow small debris or loose liquid to escape.
-
Capable Companion: Unstructured and minimalist, the Azimuth can be packed into its own internal mesh pocket, rolled up, or packed flat. Made in the USA from premium lightweight and durable weather-resistant materials, the Azimuth packs features above its weight class into a package you’ll forget is there until you need it.
-
Hydration Compatible: A hydration bladder attachment strap rests inside the top of the Azimuth Pack to allow common sizes and shapes of hydrations bladders to be suspended. The top of the pack is ported to allow hydration hoses to be routed to either shoulder strap. Both straps contain a small elastic loop to secure the hose to the strap.

Meridian Transport Case
Triple Aught Design also introduced a discreet yet practical transport case line. The Meridian consist in a system available in two variants: a 25 liter and a 40 liter version. These modular cases are designed to fit in most environments from business trips to more high demanding activities. Although they are designed as a more urban-oriented packing system, due to the high quality of the materials and the versatility, they are suitable for emergency scenarios. The multiple adjustment points inside the bag allow the user to secure gear and weapons for efficient and very discreet movements.
Three clamshell-style primary compartments lay flat when open and feature our Helix attachment system, allowing you to securely mount Transport Cubes, Transport Sleeves, Control Panels, compression straps, and other accessories. The center compartment is protected by resilient padding on the sides and bottom, and fully supported by strong tubular webbing. Two open-top exterior pockets provide immediately accessible storage.
- Whether you bundle, roll, or fold your attire, the Meridian has you covered. Included Helix compression straps secure bundled or folded clothes directly, or Transport Cubes can be used to store rolled or folded items.
- Sensitive items such as photography or communications equipment, spotting scopes, or computers are safely stored using our padded Protector Transport Cubes or Sleeves and secured via Helix attachments.
- Weapons and MOLLE-compatible pouches can be mounted to PALS-equipped rigid or flexible Control Panels while medical supplies can be organized and stored in Transport Cubes or mounted to Velcro-equipped Control Panels.

Protocol Jacket
Built to navigate diverse customs and environments, the Protocol Jacket brings modern performance and casual elegance to a classic silhouette. Sophisticated tailoring combines a bi-swing back for enhanced mobility with the proven performance of lightweight and weather resistant Ventile. Unlined and expertly-finished, the Protocol features our signature taped buttons, functional cuffs, and double welted, tuckable pocket flaps. Ambidextrous interior pockets keep critical gear accessible and secure, while a single vent keeps you agile.
Having a tailor isn’t quite the mark of a gentleman that it used to be, but a great fitting blazer still is.
Ventile®, originally designed in the UK, is densely woven from 100% cotton using the world’s finest long staple fibre. Its secret lies in the uncoated and non-laminated construction. The performance of Ventile® fabrics results from the properties of cotton fibres which expand in a uniform manner when they come into contact with water. This allows the interstices within the fabric to close up, preventing the further passage of water. In addition to this, Ventile is impregnated with a high quality DWR system which enhances the fabrics water resistant properties and increases performance. The fabric therefore provides excellent protection against the wind, rain, snow and cold, and a unique level of comfort that is highly breathable, very durable and quiet.

Sentinel Field Jacket
If simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, versatility is the ultimate capability. A modern and elegant re-imagination of the classic field jacket, the Sentinel combines timeless style with quiet capability in a style that will take you anywhere. Architecturally simple but deceptively capable the Sentinel features an array of storage options hidden within its refined lines. Internal and external chest pockets offer both security and accessibility, while classic flap-over front pockets also feature zippered hand pockets for convenient protection against the elements.
Worn by itself or with an insulator underneath, Sentinel keeps you comfortable across diverse environments and conditions. Ventile was developed for its capabilities and later loved for its wearability—today there are synthetic fabrics as functional, but none look as good. Breathable and highly weather-resistant, Ventile is the ultimate luxury in technical wear.
