Welcome to Gear Scout! We're passionate about the great outdoors and believe that having the right gear can make all the difference in your adventures. Our mission is to provide comprehensive, data-driven comparisons of hiking and camping equipment available in Australia.

Navigating the world of outdoor gear can be overwhelming. With so many brands, features, and price points, it's tough to know what's truly best for your needs. That's where we come in. We meticulously research and compile information on a wide range of products, from ultralight tents to robust water purifiers, focusing on specifications like weight, packed size, material, R-values, and, importantly, Australian pricing and availability.

Our goal is to empower you with the facts. We present data in clear, sortable tables, allowing you to easily compare options and make informed decisions. Whether you're a seasoned thru-hiker looking to shave grams off your pack weight or a weekend camper seeking reliable comfort, Gear Scout aims to be your trusted resource.

We are constantly updating our database and adding new categories of gear. If you have any suggestions or feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out via our Contact page.

Happy trails!
