Our story
Built from the inside
Most gear is designed by people who've never worn it under pressure. Strider Solutions was built by someone who has.
The reality of issued kit
Budget constraints are real. One size never fits all.
Military and emergency services procurement is a complex beast. Budgets are finite, timelines are long, and when you're outfitting thousands of personnel, compromise is inevitable. That's not a criticism. It's just how large organisations operate.
But for the individual, that compromise lands on your body. Spend enough time in the field across infantry and emergency response, and you start to notice exactly where standard issue stops working for you.
Why Strider Solutions exists
Gear that performs exactly as it should
Not frustration with the system. An obsession with understanding why certain gear works, what makes it work, and what happens when you get it exactly right for the person wearing it.
Years of testing, comparing and refining in demanding real-world environments built a clear picture of what operator grade actually means. Gear is relative to purpose. What works for one role won't work for another.
The result is a range built around that standard. Gear chosen because it performs, not because it cleared a procurement committee.
Who we supply
For those who protect New Zealand
Our customers are serving military, police, emergency responders and experienced outdoors people. People who know the difference between gear that looks tactical and gear that performs. People who research before they buy and have no patience for kit that fails under load.
If that's you, you're in the right place.
