Brave Search released a feature a which lets you customize search results. It’s always a bit of a hassle searching for gear which is either made in NZ or ships to NZ, so I had a go at making one which prioritises outdoors gear which is made here (or failing that, is sold here).
You can test it here
Disclaimer: I work at Brave, though not on the search team
I wanted results which would prioritise things like fiordlandpacks.nz, cactusoutdoor.co.nz and southernlitepacks.co.nz. As you can see, it was only partially successful but I feel like it’s still useful.
The source for the filter is https://gist.github.com/fallaciousreasoning/c7d10b8db5449fb62b601ddf111003a3 - let me know if you think there are some NZ based sites I should include.
TreknTravel - Hamilton based shop
Equip Outdoors - Hamilton based shop
Outside Sports - has a few stores around Queenstown region
Aarn Packs - Designed in NZ, but I don’t think they’re manufactured here
Sweet, added! I hadn’t seen Aarn packs before, seems like they make some cool stuff!
I read a few good reviews on them many years ago on reddit. I was going to get one of their packs when I imagined all the tramping I was going to do but never did before kids came along… maybe one day I’ll get to it haha
Also added Small Planet, which I’d somehow forgotten about :D
Aspiring.co.nz would be a good addition. Same with Earth Sea Sky if it’s not on the list.
Already there! Good suggestions though
