About Us

Tier Gear is a family based business in Deloraine, Tasmania.

Our focus is on providing high quality lightweight gear for outdoor adventures.

We are originally from NSW. In 2012 we decided we needed a major life change. A decision was made to take our two children, aged 6 months and 1 year 9months, on an adventure and travel indefinitely until our money ran out or we found somewhere new that we wanted to raise our children. So we got our 1995 Land Rover Defender and camper trailer ready for touring, and sold or gave away most of what simply would not fit in our touring rig. Man was there some bargains to be had at our garage sale.

To cut a long story short we ended up in Tasmania after 5 or 6 enjoyable months on the road, with very little money to our name, $200 from memory. We picked up some work and during this time we also identified an opportunity to assist people in Australia to more easily access DIY materials for making outdoor gear, and so we started Tier Gear with very little money for the start up. Our focus was really just to help people out. Initially it was slow going but we were able to establish solid working relationships with other US and Australian manufacturers and suppliers and we were able to build up a reasonable variety of products, which was well received here in Australia. The next stage was moving into making our own products starting with camping hammocks and this has moved into other lightweight camping gear, with manufacturing now being the major part of our business.

We constantly strive to manufacture and offer lightweight products that are not only aesthetically pleasing but highly functional and durable. We also strive to ensure that we offer high quality personal service to our customers.

Kind regards, Sarah, Simon and our two little helpers.
