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

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
