Our Brands
Every piece of kit on this site has been selected, tested, and trusted by operators in the field. We partner exclusively with brands built by the people who depend on the gear.
Strider Solutions was founded in New Zealand by former Infantry soldiers and Emergency Responders who got tired of fielding kit that looked good on paper but fell apart when it mattered. Every product we list has been designed, tested, and validated by Infantrymen before it ever reaches the site — because the people building the gear are the same people who stake their safety on it.
We supply custom operational equipment trusted by Defence, Police, First Responders, and field professionals across New Zealand and internationally. From pouches and chest rigs to packs and admin panels, our range is purpose-built for professionals who need gear that works the first time, every time — no excuses.
SORD — Special Operations Research and Development — was established in 2004 with a single objective: build tactical gear that meets the uncompromising standards of Australian Special Forces. The company was founded by serving and former Australian Special Forces soldiers who had deployed on multiple combat tours across Iraq and Afghanistan. They knew exactly what operators needed because they were the operators.
That origin story isn't marketing spin — it's the reason SORD kit performs the way it does. Every product is engineered by people with Special Forces and Infantry backgrounds who understand that gear failure isn't an inconvenience; it's a life-or-death problem. From chest rigs and plate carriers to tactical medical kits and shooting mats, SORD produces industry-leading tactical nylon accessories and military clothing that has been battle-tested by elite combat units around the world.
Today, SORD equipment is trusted and sought after by Special Forces, para-military units, counter-terrorism and hostage rescue teams, law enforcement, and emergency rescue officers worldwide. Their gear has proven reliable, durable, and fit for purpose in some of the harshest conditions on earth — and now it's available right here through Strider Solutions, your authorised New Zealand stockist.
By Crye Precision — Made in the USA
We don't cut corners on materials. The gear you'll find on this site is built using genuine Crye Precision MultiCam fabric, made in the USA. MultiCam is the world's most trusted multi-environment camouflage pattern, originally developed by Crye Precision in conjunction with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center and first deployed in 2002.
The pattern was officially adopted by the U.S. Army for combat operations in Afghanistan and has since become the gold standard for Special Forces, special operations units, and elite military formations worldwide. Its seven-colour design delivers superior concealment across varied terrain, elevations, and lighting conditions — from arid desert to dense bush.
When you see MultiCam on a product here, you're looking at genuine Crye Precision fabric — sourced from an extensive range of MultiCam materials to match the demands of the job. That includes NYCO (nylon-cotton) for uniforms and field clothing, polyester blends for moisture management, specialised DWR-treated ripstop for foul weather, and heavy-duty Cordura nylon for tactical nylon equipment. Every product uses the right MultiCam fabric for its intended purpose, because the right material in the right application is what separates kit that performs from kit that fails.
