Our Aussie Made Story

Australian Made

We don’t throw around “Australian Made” because it sounds good, we live it. Every product in this range is designed, cut, and stitched on the Sunshine Coast, by a crew that knows the tracks, the dust, and the chaos that comes with real adventure. This isn’t factory fluff. It’s gear built in small batches, by skilled locals who still give a damn about what they’re making and who they’re making it for.

Quality is in our DNA.

We don’t mess around when it comes to quality. We’re talking serious-grade canvas, industrial hardware, and gear that doesn't flinch when things get rough. It’s the kind of gear that cops a flogging and comes back for more. Everything that goes into these products is carefully designed and road-tested.

Backing Local

Buying this range means you're backing and helping Aussie jobs, Aussie suppliers, and a supply chain of hard working Australians. Every bag helps keep local skills alive, local families and businesses supported.  If you want gear made by people who actually know how to use it then here it is.

Built the Hard Way. For the Real World.

We make gear the hard way, slow, precise, and tougher than your weekend plans. They’re built with intent, checked by real hands, and made to last longer than the ute they’re strapped to. 

Why it Costs More

Let’s be real, making gear in Australia ain’t cheap. Labour costs are much higher. Materials cost a ridiculous amount more. And manufacturing here means dealing with a shrinking pool of skilled workers, which can stretch out lead times. But here’s what you get for that price tag. You’re backing Aussie jobs, Aussie businesses, and Aussie families. You’re helping keep local skills alive in an industry that’s getting squeezed. It’s harder. It’s slower. And yeah, it costs more. 

Isn't Some of Your Gear Made Offshore?

Yeah, we make offshore gear too. And we’re not shy about it, that range helped put us on the map and continues to do so. It’s the same attitude, same design team, same crash-tested durability just made with a different crew. Thousands of legends back it, rate it, and rep it across the country and have been doing so for 10 years now. Go read the reviews if you’re still on the fence.

Why We Offer Both.

Because not everyone’s chasing the same thing, and we get that. Some of you want to back local, keep Aussie manufacturing alive, and own gear made just up the road. Some people are working to a different budget and we want all you legends to have our gear. No guilt trip. No smoke and mirrors. Just two solid options, one ruthless standard. If it’s stamped with Crashpad, it’s been designed by us, tested by us, and it’ll outlast the tracks you’re sending it down no matter where it’s stitched.
