Summit Gear products were used widely by rescue teams, professional guiding and outdoor education groups, and outdoor enthusiasts nation-wide. Summit Gear was also involved in manufacturing packs for other major outdoor brands in Australia. The retail component of Summit Gear was focussed only on our products, and outdoor stores nationally stocked our gear.
As the outdoor industry moved from technical to fashion oriented gear, Summit Gear became disenfranchised with supplying gear to other outdoor stores, and with new staff and motivation, decided to re-launch a high profile destination store in Katoomba to showcase Summit Gear products, together with a range of the finest outdoor equipment available.
