Since 2010, Trail & Summit Outfitters has equipped adventurers across Australia with reliable gear and first-hand expertise. From the windswept peaks of the Victorian Alps to the rainforest gullies of the Tarkine, every product we stock is field-tested by our team before it reaches the shelf.

Our Melbourne flagship store doubles as a knowledge hub—hosting weekly clinics on navigation, lightweight packing, wilderness first aid and more. Whether you’re prepping for your first overnight hike or your tenth thru-trek, you’ll find honest advice backed by real trail experience.
