The Pack That Doesn’t Look Tactical (But Absolutely Is)
Nomadic Research
The HD Raid Pack 2.0 isn’t just a backpack — it’s the backbone of a full carry system you can tune for real life: covert travel, contract work, fire season,...
Notes
Love this jacket. Incredibly light for its warmth and regulates very well throughout different temp ranges. Getting to be my fav go-to jacket for late fall through early spring!
I couldn’t be more impressed. The craftsmanship is outstanding
Fit and finish of the Alpine Hoodie is top shelf! This will be an excellent layering edition for the COOLER weather up here in Montana. Heck I may just order another one!
Good job NR 🤙🏽
Another well thought out and skookum built piece of gear. Versatile ruck that rides well and blends in many environments not just another tactical clone. Good job
We had to look up Skookum. Thanks for the compliment!
'Skookum' - Skookum is a Chinook Jargon word that has been in widespread historical use in British Columbia and the Yukon, as well as the Pacific Northwest. It has a range of meanings, commonly associated with an English translation of strong or monstrous. The word can mean strong, greatest, powerful, ultimate, or brave. Something can be skookum, meaning 'strong' or 'monstrously significant'. When used in reference to another person, e.g. 'he's skookum', it conveys connotations of reliability or a monstrous nature, as well as strength, size or a hard-working nature.
Just opened it, but feels like Great quality. All panels fit perfectly.looking forward to loading it up. Full of adjustments and a solid amount of storage. Very impressed upon opening.
The Raid pack is ruggedly built able to withstand the most extreme conditions. Lightweight and built with functionality in mind. The zippers are high quality as are all the materials. Everything fit perfectly!
I recommend this pack for a day at the park hike to high intensity activities. Repelling and climbing with this pack is a dream as it sit perfectly on the body strapping in securely. I recommend this pack 10/10 with no issues.
You will know from the first moment, this was designed by people who know exactly what you need for all your outdoor adventures.
Love the jacket! Well built, warm and comfortable. Well worth the money.
I recently borrowed this shell for a trip. It did its job perfectly for being so lightweight. This is a new must-have for where I live in the Midwest.
I recently used the alpine hoodie in the high desert with mornings in the 30s and afternoons in the 60s. It adapts well to your body temp to maintain comfort at all times. It maintains its shape even after stuffing it in a pack.
Took this pack for 5 days through Moab Utah. Its durability and versatility are unmatched! Hiking, biking, canyoneering, it did it all without a rip, tear or a broken buckle. These packs are built for whatever you want to throw at it! The RAID PACK 2.0 will not let you down! Stay mobile!
I use this pack as my daily go bag and for travel. It was used recently for a week in Moab and held up perfectly. It also adjusts to be comfortable enough to wear all day.
Built like a tank and comfortable with loads that would be heavy for a pack that size
I absolutely love this thing. Super light weight and packable. Surprisingly warm for it's weight. My new go-to jacket. Paired with it's shell, I stayed warm and dry on a windy, rainy, mid-30s day in the PNW.
Nomadic Research provided an Awesome shirt at a fair price, the fit and comfort is Great!, The quality is Excellent and their shipping was on point. Look forward to purchasing more from them in the future.
Thank you!
Put this one through it's paces on a rainy western Washington elk hunt. Kept me dry after a solid day of walking through tall scotch broom and brush. Even after a 1000' climb with pack on, it breathed enough for me to not get soaked from the inside too. This is definitely my new go to rain shell. Put my old Sitka gore-tex shell to shame.
Excellent build quality, it’s a little smaller than I expected. But, a LAW folded, 10.5 with muzzle brake will fit.
I would just like to say im not using this backpack to its 100% potential but im a wildland firefighter and all the abuse and everything that goes into my job this pack has definetly impressed me 1.with its carrying capacity 2. With its non tactical appearance but all the use of a tactical backpack only one little rip on the side but otherwise a great pack thoroughly impressed would buy a second one if i could
This has to be my new favorite jacket. I purchased it before I went on a trip to Ukraine and brought my usual Arc Teryx jacket as well. I lived in my Alpine Hoodie from early evening through morning coffee. Can't recommend this enough. The quality and finish are exceptional and you cannot beat the value.
This shirt is excellent quality. The fit is athletic and the material high grade. I love these shirts and appreciate the understated logo. Great product.
Been running the TTL for about 2 years now, yeah it’s that good. Some loose threads but easy remedy. Been gate checked via Delta a few times (no worries) . It’s what the TAD meridian should have been and this solves that autistic search for that pack again without the downfalls. This has been on 35+. Flights and looks new.
Love the sleeve. However, I wish it was a half inch taller. I have the 2025 MacBook Air M4. It fits just fine unless I have the thin, plastic protective case on it. It still fits with the case, but its not easy.
