The brands we stand behind
We do not carry a brand just because it is well known. Although some are very well known, others may be new to you. Every brand on this page is here because it solves a specific problem in the field better than the alternatives we tried.
Clothing systems, carry, optics accessories, lighting, hearing protection and scent control. A deliberately narrow range, chosen for New Zealand conditions and backed by people who use it.
Selected for real field use, not for the shelf
Every Brand
Brands we stock, and why
We do not stock brands just to fill shelves. Each brand in the Advanced Outdoors range has been selected because it offers practical, technical gear for real field use - whether that means better protection, smarter carry, reliable lighting, technical clothing, optics support or equipment that solves a specific outdoor problem.

How We Choose
What gets a brand onto this page
A short list, applied consistently. It is why the range is narrower than it could be.
It solves a real field problem
Hand selected range that fills a need where prior gear has let us down in the field.
It works in New Zealand conditions
Gear designed for wet bush, steep country, hard UV and weather that changes in an hour.
It holds up past the first season
Well built gear keeps you out in the field longer and is cheaper in the long run. You only need to buy it once instead of every season.
We can give real advice on it
We'll give you our honest opinion on what gear suits your needs based on years of experience in the field.
Brand FAQs
Which brands does Advanced Outdoors stock?
Why is the brand range so narrow?
Each brand here fills a specific gap, and we can tell you which model within it suits your conditions.
Are you an authorised stockist?
Yes. We hold genuine authorised stock with warranty support, dispatched from New Zealand, which matters for the electronics and optics in particular.
Can you get products a brand makes that you do not list?
Often, yes. If you have seen something in a brand's international range that we do not show, get in touch and we will tell you whether we can bring it in.
