Compact Modular Backpacks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The FAST Pack Scout is Perfectly Suited for Various Adventures

— November 22, 2018 — Fashion
Triple Aught Design, or TAD, may be best known for its bulky tactical bags, but its newest FAST Pack Scout shows that the brand can do a lot with just a little bit of space. Combining elements of military designs with mountaineering ergonomics, the FAST Pack Scout is purpose-built to be a trusted companion for EDC, adventures close to home, and even missions far away.

Designed with a 15L main compartment, the FAST Pack Scout may seem limiting for longer excursions, but thanks to a modular system it can be easily tailored to fit a variety of needs. Equipped with FAST Transporter Tails, the backpack can support additional storage held together with simple compression. This system also allows for a PALS platform to be easily integrated.
