Best Brands    Best Range    Best Advice...

...what does this mean for you?

Mountain Equipment is an independent, grass roots retailer that has been trading in Sydney since 1968. Our independence, along with the fact that we involve our team of experienced staff (rather than accountants) in the ranging, means we are able to supply the best brands and products available to our customers.

Mountain Equipment favours and sources gear from manufacturers and brands that are regarded as innovators and leaders in their field. Hence, we do not sell 'own branded' products which are often aimed at the more mass market and mostly are less suitable for the serious user. If you have expedition specific needs and Mountain Equipment doesn't have something you're looking for, chances are we'll go out of our way to get it.

Advice is an essential part of the equation and the staff at Mountain Equipment are our biggest asset. They are all outdoor enthusiasts with a wealth of experience in climbing, mountaineering, trekking and bushwalking. They have probably been where you want to go, be it the Blue Mountains, Tasmania, New Zealand or Nepal and will do their best to ensure the gear matches your requirements in every respect. Combining this experience with an in-depth knowledge of the equipment, the staff at Mountain Equipment can help you maximise your enjoyment of your trip, the mountains and their surroundings.
