The TAD Gear Raptor ProLite Hardshell is the lighter weight version of the highly regarded Predator Hardshell, featuring the world's most advanced 3 layer waterproof breathable RipStop fabrics from GE's eVent Professional Line Division.  This is an industry first and our hardshells are made with it.

     TAD Gear is proud to debut the very first hardshells using the newest GE Professional Line of 3 layer waterproof breathable fabrics.  In a key partnership with GE, TAD Gear was selected to use and feature their brand new line of technical fabrics from their Professional Line.  The eVent family of fabrics are the highest performance 3 layers on the planet.  GE's event Professional Division pushes the envelope even further with a line which is created specifically for the hardest use environments and individuals.  Developed specifically for combat and law enforcement, the eVent Professional Line is the longest wearing, most breathable, waterproof 3 layer fabrics bar none.  Using advanced eptfe membrane laminates, event out breaths any other high end ptfe laminate currently available.  There is NO more advanced 3 layer waterproof breathable fabric on the market. 

     The New Raptor ProLite Hardshell features not only the ripstop family of eVent ProLine fabric, but also is constructed with a strategic blend of field proven traditional stitching methods and Bemis "welded" elements for a superlative garment unmatched in its class.  This hardshell model reduces bulk with the lighter weight ripstop eVent shell, eliminates the loops swatches on the sleeves for even less mass, allowing for easier compression for packing, and overall felt weight on the user.  The Raptor is perfect in any pack, ruck, or bag, for fast summit assaults and 15 mile days when every lb counts.  This hardshell is tasked for those who need to go fast, light, and charge hard.

     Following our tradition and ideology of taking the best the technical outdoor industry has to offer and tasking it to perform in the tactical and backcountry arenas, the Raptor ProLite Hardshell is another state of the art apparel product to excel, move, and push as hard as you do.  You'll see the fine details and exceptional build quality, you'll feel the performance of it's carefully thought out design and excellent materials.  Wet weather and high winds coming at you can be more than harsh, wear the Raptor ProLite Hardshell and tell mother nature to "bring it on".  From jungle rains, to winter woodlands, snowy mountains, city streets and battlefield, our hardshell will keep the tough going when the going gets even tougher.

eVent fabrics get their unique properties from a proprietary and patented waterproof membrane. Its unique composition allows millions of tiny pores to breathe at their full potential. Sweat vents directly to the outside of the fabric in one easy step. We call this Direct Venting Technology. Its genius is hidden in its simplicity. eVent fabrics simply let the sweat out. 

All eVent fabrics protect you from the wind. And, all eVent fabrics provide you with sweat-free comfort through our unique Direct Venting™ Technology. Garments, gloves and footwear made with eVent Waterproof fabric add another level of protection. Patented surface treatments and fabrication methods keep out water - even hard-driving rains - without blocking those millions of tiny pores that let the moisture and perspiration escape.
