Started because Australian conditions destroy ordinary gear- and we got tired of freezing our arses off. Whether it's the unforgiving granite slabs of Kosciuszko or sub-zero nights in the Victorian Alps that make European winters look like a joke, Australia's wilderness has a way of exposing weak gear fast. After one too many nights shivering on deflated "premium" pads while camping in some of the world's most brutal alpine conditions, we decided to build sleeping pads that actually survive what this country throws at them. Fair dinkum gear for Australia's fair dinkum conditions.
