Welcome to Countryside Gear

"Where Quality Meets Heritage!"

Meet the Faces Behind the Brand

Hello there! We're Mike and Caroline, the driving force behind Countryside Gear.  We thought you might like to know a little about the folks who bring you the best in quality and craftsmanship.

Caroline - A True North Canterbury Kiwi Girl!   As a North Canterbury girl , I come from a background deeply rooted in the land. I'm the daughter of a sheep farmer/shearer and a homesteader, so you could say that a love for the outdoors and quality craftsmanship runs in my blood. Growing up, I learned the value of hard work and the importance of ensuring that everything we do and sell is of the highest quality. That ethos guides our every decision here at Countryside Gear.

 Mike - Central Otago Heritage!  On the other hand, there's Mike, my partner in life and in business. He hails from the stunning landscapes of Central Otago, a place known for its long winters and scorching summers. Mike's roots trace back to a long line of Gold Miners from the historic Cardrona Valley in New Zealand. This unique heritage has instilled in him a profound appreciation for quality that stands the test of time.

Our Commitment to Quality At Countryside Gear, we've made it our mission to source only the best of the best. Whether it's the finest and most robust oilskin fabric or the most skilled crafters, we leave no stone unturned to ensure that every product we offer is a testament to quality and durability. When you purchase from us, you're investing in items that are built to last through the harshest conditions.

Enduring Quality for Harsh Conditions We understand the unforgiving nature of harsh environments, and it's with that knowledge that we've carefully curated our collection. Take, for example, our waterproof leather boots, meticulously crafted from the finest Italian leather and equipped with the latest waterproofing technology. These boots aren't just footwear; they're a statement of quality and a tribute to our commitment to excellence.

Thank You for Choosing Countryside Gear.   We're honored to have you as part of our Countryside Gear family, and we promise to continue delivering the highest quality products and service that you deserve. Here's to many more years of enduring quality and unwavering commitment.
