I've looked over this thread...yall have a new addict to join the ranks. Just made my first order for one of their alpine neck gaiters and the TAD Gear Bug Out Anorak. It was on sale and I was weak. whats everyone's opinion of it?

 

Tell me how you like the Anorak, I've been choosing between that, and the combat one.

Just as a heads up for those that order from TAD online:

 

This notice is to inform our customers of a security incident at TAD Gear. We recently learned that our database was illegally accessed from an external source, and it appears that some customer data were taken, which may include customer names, contact information and credit card data. The possibility of a security breach came to our attention when certain customers notified us that unauthorized charges had appeared on their credit cards. Upon learning of the potential breach of security, TAD Gear immediately initiated an investigation, and took corrective steps based on the advice of an internet security firm. We have also contacted law enforcement.

 

If you purchased merchandise from TAD Gear on-line between August 6, 2009 and November 16, 2009, and the credit card used to purchase that merchandise is still valid, in order to protect yourself from the possibility of identity theft or misuse of your credit card information, we recommend that you immediately contact the issuer of that credit card and close your account. Tell them that your account may have been compromised. If you want to open a new account, ask your credit card issuer to give you a PIN or password, as this will help control access to the account.

 

In addition, we recommend that you place a fraud alert on your credit files. A fraud alert lets creditors know to contact you before opening new accounts. Just call any one of the three credit reporting agencies at a number below. This will let you automatically place fraud alerts with all of the agencies. You will then receive letters from all of them, with instructions on how to get a free copy of your credit report from each.

When you receive your credit reports, look them over carefully. Look for accounts you did not open. Look for inquiries from creditors that you did not initiate. And look for personal information, such as your home address and Social Security number, which is not accurate. If you see anything you do not understand, call the credit reporting agency at the telephone number on the report.

 

If you do find suspicious activity on your credit reports, call your local police or sheriff’s office and file a police report of identity theft. Get a copy of the police report. You may need to give copies of the police report to creditors to clear up your records. Even if you do not find any signs of fraud on your reports, we recommend that you check your credit report every three months for the next year. Just call one of the numbers above to order your reports and keep the fraud alert in place.

 

For more information on identity theft, we suggest that you visit the web site of the California Office of Privacy Protection at www.privacy.ca.gov, or the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft. If there is anything TAD Gear can do to assist you, please email us at action@tadgear.com, a special email address that we have set up to help answer your questions.

 

On a going-forward basis, in order to help assure the security of your information, all users will be required to recreate their usernames and change passwords upon logging onto our newly redesigned, TAD Gear website. Please note that the password change process is only initiated when you come to the TAD Gear website and as a result an email is sent to you. Do not respond to any other unsolicited emails regarding password changes from TAD Gear. TAD Gear will not contact you by email regarding a password change unless you initiate such a change on the TAD Gear website in accordance with the instructions above.

 

We are sorry for any inconvenience that this might have caused you. We take the protection of our customers' personal information very seriously. TAD Gear is making additional, significant investments in enhancing the safety and security features on our website so that you may feel confident using it. While no company can completely prevent unauthorized access to data, we are committed to ensuring that our data is protected by the highest levels of security.

 

If you have any questions or need further information regarding this incident, please do not hesitate to contact us.

 

I cancelled my card details and it does look like there is at least one dodgy transaction on it.

Looks great but $259 is way to rich for my blood. I could get another AEG for that price.

 

Anyone have any XP with the e-bay banned stealth hoody knock off?

 

It's *suitcase* and supports people ripping off other people products and hard work. ;)

 

With one you are paying money for a high tech jacket, unique design and limited availability. The other is a plastic bag that is a poor copy of the design.

I don't want to start a flame war here but I think spending the better part of a week's pay check on a hoodie is prohibitively expensive for me. I'm sure you get what you pay for quality wise though.

 

Do these tend to show up in the buy/sell/trade threads allot? I don't have enough posts to access that part of the forum yet and am trying my best to contribute only posts that contain some value (so it might be a while before I make it there).

They show up for sale fairly frequently AFAIK. The new version was only recently released so I imagine there should be plenty out and about as people sell their old versions to 'upgrade'.

 

I totally get that people don't want to spend $$$ on a jacket though even though the TAD jackets are on par with the top outdoors brands. I just don't see that as an excuse to rip people off though. :)

Hey guys its important if you have ordered from TAD since august to read this. This was taken from soldier systems.

http://soldiersystems.net/2009/11/19/tad-gear-hacked/

I don’t think any company wants to have to tell their customers something like this but TAD Gear found out last night that their server had been hacked. They placed the following information on their Facebook page and are taking steps to fix things on their end. They recommend that anyone who purchased online from them between August 6, 2009 and November 16, 2009, cancel the card they used and take a hard look at any transactions.
