Mountain Gear

We’re back, the Phoenix has risen!
1994 – 2004, 2022 and beyond!
Climbing and backcountry skiing gear designed and made in the Blue Mountains by climbers and skiers for climbers and skiers.

Whippet Mountain Gear is a small cottage industry manufacturer where gear is individually made in the mountains and not mass produced in offshore computerised factories.

Each piece of gear is individually unique but they’re built to be lovingly robust and practical by people who actually use and understand the product.

With over 40 years of backcountry skiing, cragging and mountaineering adventures in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, USA and Europe we’ve used our experiences to make gear that we think really works, whilst being simple, robust and functional.

Sometimes we boulder in the workshop while constructing your purchase. A little climbing chalk on the gear is a sign of authenticity built in the mountains.

Our gear is Goldilocks gear!
Not too heavy,
Not too flimsy.
Hard wearing at a sensible weight.
Not too expensive.
Not too cheap and tacky.
Affordable!
Not overloaded with pretty bells and whistles.
Not bog standard.
Practical with essential user friendly features for the mountains.

Lead in time, zero to 2 weeks, depending on built gear in stock or if we’re away in the hills. We’ll let you know when you order.

Whippet good!
