Who we are

Built by people who've carried it

Behind Strider is nearly a decade of infantry service and around five years as emergency responders. That time has taken us overseas on exercise alongside close allies, and into real callouts where lives were on the line, some of them by helicopter.

We started Strider to build what we couldn't buy. Every Strider design starts as a problem we hit in the field. We design it, have it made by manufacturers we trust in New Zealand and overseas, then run it ourselves before it goes on sale. Everything else on the shelf has been through the same test.

Customer photo★★★★★ An upgrade for the alice pack

While Alice will never cheat on me she she is a bit old, and this pack is 100 percent a step up from her, the newer Molle slots means you can play tactical barbie until the cows come home. I prefer all my living kit on the outside of the pack and now I can....

Customer photo★★★★★ Top-notch patches – highly recommend

Really impressed with these embroidered patches. The boys love them, and the quality of work is outstanding. The attention to detail is excellent—everything from the stitching to the finish is done to a very high standard. They look sharp, feel durable, and...

Customer photo★★★★★ Very high quality

It’s nice to finally have a good belt with the metal buckle instead of plastic or fake Cobra buckles

Customer photo★★★★★ Adaptable plate carrier (apc) - multicam

The SORD Adaptable Plate Carrier (APC) in Multicam is honestly one of the most versatile setups I’ve used. Straight out of the box, the amount of gear you get is impressive — especially the multiple cummerbund options. Being able to swap between skeletal, s...

Customer photo★★★★★ Tidy assault pack

Spacious little pack. Beavertail lets me adjust how little or how much I want to carry.

Customer photo★★★★★ Commander panel

This is beyond expectations, ive used so many over the years and this works perfectly, low profile enough that I can have my magazine pouch with the panel on the front and it not feel too over loaded and cumbersome.

Customer photo★★★★★ Great athletic fit.

So hard to find a good cut on a shirt like these ones. Good fabric, nice fit. Love these blends of shirts because they breathe really well. Only tees I wear now.

Customer photo★★★★★ Ally kit

Absolute bonkers bit of kit, had put through it paces for months now and still hasn't let me down yet. Highly recommended

Customer photo★★★★★ Better than issue

The IR patches are professionally finished to the point where they seamlessly blend with current issue NZMTP. They are a slick product that far exceeds the rigidity of the existing issue patches. It won't curl on the edges and just appears overall far more ...

Customer photo★★★★★ Quality
