Whether on your toughest excursions or in your everyday adventures, we know that exceptional quality and engineered functionality will help you succeed. We make gear and apparel for capable people. WHO WE ARE : Triple Aught Design is a small American company making a splash in a market traditionally filled with $100+ million dollar mega brands. We make high quality gear and apparel in the USA, purpose built for the capable individual. Our warehouse and HQ are based in the San Francisco, CA region. We employ about 35 full time employees and are responsible for another 100-200 American jobs through our contract workers. 95% OF WHAT WE MAKE AND DELIVER INTO THE MARKET IS MADE IN USA. MADE IN USA : LESS THAN 3% OF THE CLOTHING AMERICANS BUY ARE ACTUALLY ‘MADE IN USA.’ "Made in USA" is a label protected by the Federal Trade Commission. In order for an item to be called such, the item must be made within the United States' borders from "all or virtually all" American parts. While a pair of Force 10’s might be Made In USA by TAD, there are dozens of American companies that benefit from the commerce of the product. From the Ripstop fabric, thread, D-rings, webbing, zippers, and cordage. All are products other companies specialize in manufacturing that we use in our finished products. Focusing on Made In USA helps strengthen that connection of American companies. When you buy Made In USA products, you aren’t just helping the American company selling the product, you are helping the other American companies that supply the raw materials. This boosts jobs, which boosts our economy, and circulates that currency within our own communities. Not to mention, makes us (as a Country) less dependent on others and more self reliant.
