About Outdoor Traders

With twenty years experience in the outdoor industry it is our passion for snow sports and outdoor pursuits that drives us to deliver the best products and services. It is also this love of nature that influences the products we sell. Companies like Patagonia manufacture premium quality clothing and accessories in an environmentally ethical way with many of their garments made from or partially from recycled goods. With schemes like Common Threads Recycling, Patagonia provides the consumer with a unique way to support the environment by recycling old unwanted synthetic and natural garments. Anyone who has any worn out PolarTec fleece or synthetic base layer can drop them in Patagonia's in store recycling bin.

Hiking, Walking, Rambling

The store stocks a great variety of clothing and equipment perfectly suited to Ramblers and hikers. Clothing from Patagonia, Sprayway, Icebreaker and Lowe Alpine offer durable, lightweight and reliable waterproofs, walking pants and fleece. There are over forty styles of footwear in catagories such as Hiking, Mountaineering, Trail Running and Hill Walking. Customers are welcomed to make an appointment to have a private fitting in our new "Boot Centre". Done over a forty five minute session these fittings allow bootfitters to focus on each fitting and customer. More importantly you know that you can have a proper job done to fit your schedule.
